PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The remote control allows you to:
•remotely lock or unlock the vehicle doors.
• remotely open the power liftgate.
• remotely start or stop the engine.
• arm and disarm the anti-theft system.
• activate the panic alarm.
GENERAL INFORMATION ON RADIO FREQUENCIES
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules and with Industry
Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Note: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment. The term ICbefore the radio certification number only
signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met.
The typical operating range for your transmitter is approximately 33 feet
(10 meters). Vehicles with the remote start feature will have a greater
range. A decrease in operating range could be caused by:
• weather conditions
• nearby radio towers
• structures around your vehicle
• other vehicles parked next to your vehicle.
The radio frequency used by your remote control can also be used by
other short-distance radio transmissions, for example amateur radios,
medical equipment, wireless headphones, remote controls and alarm
systems. If the frequencies are jammed, you will not be able to use your
remote control. You can lock and unlock the doors with the key.
Note: Make sure your vehicle is locked before leaving it unattended.
Note: If you are in range, the remote control will operate if you press
any button unintentionally.

Remote Start (If Equipped)
WARNING:To avoid exhaust fumes, do not use remote start if
your vehicle is parked indoors or areas that are not well
ventilated.
Note: Do not use remote start if your vehicle is low on fuel.
The remote start button is on the transmitter.
This feature allows you to start your vehicle from outside your vehicle.
The transmitter has an extended operating range.
Vehicles with automatic climate control can be configured to operate
when the vehicle is remote started. See the Climate Controlchapter for
more information. A manual climate control system will run at the setting
it was set to when your vehicle was last turned off.
Many states and provinces have restrictions for the use of remote start.
Check your local and state or provincial laws for specific requirements
regarding remote start systems.
The remote start system will not work if:
• the ignition is on
• the alarm system is triggered
• you disable the feature
• the hood is open
• the transmission is not in P
• the vehicle battery voltage is too low
• the service engine soon light is on.
Remote Starting the Vehicle

driver’s door.
At the Front Driver Door
Press any number on the SecuriCode keyless entry keypad.After locking the doors with the lock
sensor, there is a brief delay before
you can unlock your vehicle. This
delay lets you pull the door handle
to make sure that it locked.
Note: Keep the keypad surface clean to avoid issues with operation.
Smart Unlocks for Intelligent Access Keys
This feature helps to prevent you from unintentionally locking your
intelligent access key inside your vehicle’s passenger compartment or
rear cargo area.
When you lock your vehicle using the driver or passenger power door lock
control (with the door open, transmission in Pand ignition off), after you
close the door your vehicle will search for an intelligent access key in the
passenger compartment. If your vehicle finds a key, all of the doors will
immediately unlock and the horn will sound, indicating that a key is inside.
You can override the smart unlock feature and intentionally lock the
intelligent access key inside your vehicle. To do this, lock your vehicle
after you have closed all the doors by:
• using the keyless entry keypad
• pressing the lock button on another intelligent access key
• touching the locking area on the handle with another intelligent access
key in your hand.
When you open one of the front doors and lock your vehicle using the
power door lock control, all doors will lock then unlock if:
• the ignition is on, or
• the ignition is off and the transmission is not in P.
Autolock Feature (If Enabled)
The autolock feature will lock all the doors when:
• all the doors are closed,

Note:Do not drive with the liftgate open without first disabling the
power function and securing the liftgate to the vehicle.
Note: In case of operation in extreme cold -40°F (-40°C), or on extreme
inclines, manual operation of the liftgate is suggested.
You can enable or disable the power liftgate using the information
display. The remote control and instrument panel button still operates
the liftgate regardless of the setting.
Opening and Closing the Power Liftgate
Note: You can reverse the liftgate movement direction with a second
press of the instrument panel button or the button on the liftgate, or a
second double press of the transmitter button.
The liftgate only operates with the vehicle in P.
Three tones sound as the liftgate begins to power close. A single tone
indicates a problem with the close request, caused by any of the
following:
• The ignition is on and the transmission is not in P.
• The battery voltage is below the minimum operating voltage
• The vehicle speed is at or above 3 mph (5 km/h)
If the liftgate reverses and starts to close after an open request, a fast
continuous tone indicates excessive load on the gate or a possible strut
failure. Have the system checked by an authorized dealer if you still have
a fast tone after removing the load. To open or close from the instrument panel: Press the
instrument panel liftgate button.
To open or close with the remote control: Press the remote
control liftgate-decklid button twice within three seconds.
