KEYS
Integrated Keyhead Transmitters (IKTs) (If equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with
two Integrated Keyhead
Transmitters (IKTs). The key blade
of the IKT functions as a
programmed key which starts the
vehicle and unlocks/locks all the
doors. The transmitter of the IKT
operates the remote keyless entry
feature.
Your IKTs are programmed to your
vehicle; using a non-programmed
key will not permit your vehicle to
start. If you lose one or both of your
IKTs, replacements are available
through your authorized dealer.
Standard SecuriLock™ keys without
remote entry transmitter functionality can also be purchased from your
authorized dealer if desired.
To avoid activating the remote entry functions when starting and turning
off your vehicle, refer toRecommended handling of the Integrated
Keyhead Transmitter (IKT)in this section.
Always carry a spare key with you in case of an emergency.
For more information regarding programming replacement IKTs, refer to
theSecuriLock™ passive anti-theft systemsection later in this chapter.
Note:Your vehicle’s IKTs were
issued with a security label on them
that provides important vehicle key
cut information. It is recommended
that you maintain the label in a safe
place for future reference.

Smart unlocks
This feature helps to prevent you from locking yourself out of the vehicle
if your key is still in the ignition.
When you open one of the front doors and you lock the vehicle with the
power door lock control (on the driver or passenger door trim panel), all
the doors will lock, then all doors will automatically unlock reminding
you that your key is still in the ignition.
The vehicle can still be locked, with the key in the ignition, by locking
the driver’s door with a key, using the
control on the transmitter, or
locking the vehicle with the keyless entry keypad.
If both front doors are closed, the vehicle can be locked from any
method, regardless of whether the key is in the ignition or not.
Smart unlocks for Intelligent Access Keys (if equipped)
The smart unlock feature is intended to prevent you from unintentionally
locking your Intelligent Access Key inside your vehicle’s passenger
compartment or trunk.
When you lock your vehicle using the driver or passenger power door
lock control (with the door open), after you close the door the vehicle
will search for a Intelligent Access Key in the passenger compartment. If
a Intelligent Access Key is found inside the vehicle, all of the doors will
immediately unlock and the horn will chirp, indicating that the Intelligent
Access Key is inside.
In order to override the smart unlock feature and intentionally lock the
Intelligent Access Key inside the vehicle, you can lock your vehicle using
your keyless entry keypad or using the
control on another Intelligent
Access Key. Refer toKeyless entry systemin this chapter for more
information on keyless entry keypad operation.
If your vehicle’s perimeter alarm is in the armed state, the smart unlock
feature will not allow you to lock your Intelligent Access Key inside the

trunk. When the alarm is armed, if the Intelligent Access Key is detected
in the trunk, the decklid will automatically be released when you attempt
to close it, and the horn will chirp, as a reminder that the Intelligent
Access Key is inside. If you would like to intentionally lock your
Intelligent Access Key in the trunk of your vehicle, first disarm the
perimeter alarm by unlocking the vehicle, then place the Intelligent
Access Key in the trunk, close the trunk, and rearm your perimeter
alarm system by locking the vehicle using your keyless entry keypad or
another Intelligent Access Key. For more information on
arming/disarming of the perimeter alarm system, refer toPerimeter
alarm systemin this chapter.

INTELLIGENT ACCESS (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:Radio waves from the Intelligent Access system
transmitters in the vehicle may affect certain implanted medical
devices such as pacemakers or cardiac defibrillators. People having
such implanted medical devices should ask the medical device
manufacturer or their physician whether the Intelligent Access system
may affect the equipment before coming into close proximity with a
vehicle equipped with Intelligent Access. Failure to do so may result in
interference with the medical device, which could result in serious
injury.
Your vehicle will allow you to unlock and enter your vehicle without
actively using a key or transmitter. You can use the Intelligent Access
feature at the driver door or at the trunk. You can activate the Intelligent
Access feature as long as you have one of your Intelligent Access Keys
within range of the driver door or the trunk.
