KEYS
Your vehicle is equipped with two
Integrated Keyhead Transmitters
(IKTs). The IKT functions as both a
programmed ignition key that
operates all the locks and starts the
vehicle, and a remote keyless entry
transmitter. Vehicles with a power
liftgate will have a four-button IKT
while vehicles without a power
liftgate will have a three-button IKT.
Your IKTs are programmed to your vehicle; using a non-programmed key
will not permit your vehicle to start. If you lose your authorized dealer
supplied IKTs, replacement IKTs are available through your authorized
dealer. Standard SecuriLockkeys without remote entry transmitter
functionality can also be purchased from your authorized dealer if
desired.
Always carry a spare key with you in case of an emergency.
For more information regarding programming replacement IKTs, refer to
theSecuriLockpassive anti-theft systemsection later in this chapter.
Note:Your vehicle’s IKTs were
issued with an adhesive 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, such as
the inside front cover of this
Owner’s Guide.

RECOMMENDED HANDLING OF THE INTEGRATED KEYHEAD
TRANSMITTER (IKT)
To avoid inadvertently activating the remote entry functions of your
vehicle, it is recommended that the Integrated Keyhead Transmitter
(IKT) be handled properly when starting and turning off your vehicle.
When inserting the IKT into the
ignition cylinder, place your thumb
on the center thumb rest of the IKT
and forefinger on the logo badge on
the opposite side.
To gain more leverage when rotating
the IKT in the ignition lock cylinder,
you can readjust the location of
your thumb to grasp the IKT on the
outer edge next to the
control.
Likewise, when rotating the IKT to
the 1 (LOCK) position in the
ignition lock cylinder, the bottom
edge of the IKT adjacent to the
control can be utilized.

Smart locks
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 or the liftgate 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 lock control on the remote entry
transmitter portion of your Integrated Keyhead Transmitter, or locking
the vehicle with the keyless entry keypad (if equipped).
If both front doors and the liftgate are closed, the vehicle can be locked
from any method, regardless of whether the key is in the ignition or not.
Autolock feature
The autolock feature will lock all the doors when:
•all the doors are closed,
•the ignition is in the 3 (RUN) position,
•you shift into any gear putting the vehicle in motion, and
•the vehicle attains a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h) for greater
than 2 seconds.
The autolock feature repeats when:
•any door is opened then closed while the ignition is in the 3 (RUN)
position and the vehicle speed is 9 mph (15 km/h) or lower, and
•the vehicle then attains a speed greater than 12 mph (20 km/h) for
greater than 2 seconds.
