KEY FOB

Your vehicle is equipped with a key fob which
supports Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) (if
equipped) and Keyless Enter-N-Go (if equipped).

If the vehicle is equipped with remote power
door locks, the key fob allows you to lock or
unlock all doors, as well as activate the Panic
Alarm, from distances up to approximately 66 ft
(20 m). The key fob does not need to be pointed
at the vehicle to activate the system.
NOTE:
The key fob’s wireless signal may be blocked
if the key fob is located next to a mobile
phone, laptop, or other electronic device.
This may result in poor performance.
The key fob should not be placed next to the
wireless charging pad (if equipped).
In the ON/RUN position, all key fob buttons
will work until the vehicle reaches 2 mph
(4 km/h).
Key Fob
In case the ignition switch does not change with
the push of a button, the key fob may have a low
or fully depleted battery. A low key fob battery
can be verified by referring to the instrument
cluster, which will display directions to follow.

door locks, push and release the unlock button
on the key fob once to unlock the driver’s door.

back that insulates against heat, such as a
blanket or cushion. This may cause the seat
heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat that has
been overheated could cause serious
burns due to the increased surface
