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
battery. In this situation a back up method
can be used to operate the ignition switch.
Put the nose side (side opposite of the
emergency key) of the Key Fob against the
ENGINE START/STOP button and push 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).
Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) — If Equipped” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for fur-
ther information.

• When remote key fob lowering is requested the vehicle will send a series of chirps and flashes to alert the customer that the operation has begun and will continue
these alerts until it successfully lowers.
• If the feature is unable to lower the vehicle due to certain conditions not being met, the horn will chirp twice and the vehicle will not lower.
Emergency Key
Should the battery in the vehicle or the Key Fob transmitter go dead, there is an emergency
key located in the Key Fob that can be used for locking and unlocking the doors.
•To remove the emergency key, slide the button on the Key Fob with your thumb and
then pull the key out with your other hand.
WARNING!
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be severely injured or killed. Children should
be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal, or the shift lever. Do not
leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to children,
and do not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go™
in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child could start the vehicle, operate power
windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
• Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior
heat build-up may cause them to be severely injured or killed.

WARNING!
• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gascontains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon
Monoxide is poisonous and can cause you or others to be severely injured or
killed when inhaled.
• Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start
System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause you and others to be
severely injured or killed.

• Lock the door using either the power door lock switch (one door must be open) orthe LOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter (doors can be
open or closed), and close all doors.
NOTE:
The Vehicle Security Alarm will not arm if you lock the doors with the manual door
lock plungers.
The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash for 16 seconds. This
shows that the Vehicle Security Alarm is arming. During this period, if a door is
opened, the ignition is cycled to ON/RUN, or the power door locks are unlocked in any
manner, the Vehicle Security Alarm will automatically disarm.
NOTE:
Once armed, the Vehicle Security Alarm disables the unlock switch on the driver door
trim panel and passenger door trim panel.
To Disarm The System:
• Push the Key Fob UNLOCK button or cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your vehicle; however, you can create
conditions where the Vehicle Security Alarm will give you a false alarm. If one of the
previously described arming sequences has occurred, the Vehicle Security Alarm will
arm regardless of whether you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle and
open a door, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed and the battery becomes disconnected the
Vehicle Security Alarm will remain armed when the battery is reconnected. The exterior
lights will flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security
Alarm.

Pinch Protection Feature
This feature will detect an obstruction in the opening of the sunroof during Express
Close operation. If an obstruction in the path of the sunroof is detected, the sunroof
will automatically retract. Remove the obstruction if this occurs. Next, press the
switch forward and release to Express Close.

vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Do not leave the Key Fob in or near
the vehicle, and do not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go™ in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. Occupants, particularly unattended
children, can become entrapped by the power sunroof while operating the power
sunroof switch. Such entrapment may result in serious injury or death.
• In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an opensunroof. You could also be severely injured or killed. Always fasten your seat
belt properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured.
•
Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof. Never allow your fingers, other
body parts, or any object to project through the sunroof opening. Injury may result.
WIND BUFFETING
Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound. If buffeting
occurs with the rear windows open, adjust the front and rear windows together.
If buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening, or adjust any
window. This will minimize buffeting.
