KEY FOB
This feature allows the driver to operate the
ignition switch with the push of a button,
as long as the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter is in the passenger compart-
ment.
The Keyless Ignition Node (KIN) has four
operating positions, three of which are
labeled and will illuminate when in posi-
tion. The three positions are OFF, ACC,
and ON/RUN. The fourth position is
START, during start RUN will illuminate.
NOTE:
In case the ignition switch does not change
with the push of a button, the RKE trans-
mitter (Key Fob) may have a low or dead

can be used to operate the ignition switch.

The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) operates
similar to an ignition switch. It has four
operating positions, three with detents
and one that is spring-loaded. The detent
positions are OFF, ACC, and ON/RUN. The
START position is a spring-loaded momen-
tary contact position. When released from
the START position, the switch automati-
cally returns to the ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go™, the Electronic Vehicle Infor-
mation Center (EVIC) will display the
ignition switch position (OFF/ACC/RUN).
