KEYS
Key Fob
Your vehicle uses a key start ignition system. The ignition
system consists of a key fob with a Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) and an ignition switch.
The key fob contains an integrated mechanical key. To use
the mechanical key, simply push the mechanical key re-
lease button.
The vehicle is supplied with a code card containing key
code numbers to order duplicate keys, and the authorized
dealer that sold you your new vehicle has the key code
numbers for your vehicle locks. These numbers can be
used to order duplicate keys.Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
This system allows you to lock or unlock the doors from
distances up to approximately 66 ft (20 m) using a hand-
held key fob. The key fob does not need to be pointed at the
vehicle to activate the system.
NOTE:
The key fob may not be able to be detected by the
vehicle if it is located next to a mobile phone, laptop or
other electronic device; these devices may block the key
fob’s wireless signal.

WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•Only devices designed for use in this type of outlet
should be inserted into any 12 Volt outlet.
• Do not touch with wet hands.
(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
•Close the lid when not in use and while driving the
vehicle.
• If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric
shock and failure.
CAUTION!
• Many accessories that can be plugged in draw power
from the vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e.,
cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long
enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge suffi-
ciently to degrade battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.
• Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,
vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade the battery
even more quickly. Only use these intermittently and
with greater caution.
• After the use of high power draw accessories, or long
periods of the vehicle not being started (with acces-
sories still plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a
sufficient length of time to allow the generator to
recharge the vehicle’s battery.

WARNING!
Do not plug in or remove the iPod or external device
while driving. Failure to follow this warning could
result in a collision.
RADIO OPERATION AND MOBILE PHONES
Under certain conditions, the mobile phone being on in
your vehicle can cause erratic or noisy performance from
your radio. This condition may be lessened or eliminated
by relocating the mobile phone. This condition is not
harmful to the radio. If your radio performance does not
satisfactorily “clear” by the repositioning of the phone, it is
recommended that the radio volume be turned down or off
during mobile phone operation when not using Uconnect
(if equipped).
Regulatory And Safety Information
USA/CANADA
Exposure to Radio Frequency RadiationThe radiated output power of the internal wireless radio is
far below the FCC and IC radio frequency exposure limits.
Nevertheless, the wireless radio will be used in such a
manner that the radio is 20 cm or further from the human
body.
The internal wireless radio operates within guidelines
found in radio frequency safety standards and recommen-
dations, which reflect the consensus of the scientific com-
munity.
The radio manufacturer believes the internal wireless radio
is safe for use by consumers. The level of energy emitted is
far less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wire-
less devices such as mobile phones. However, the use of
wireless radios may be restricted in some situations or
environments, such as aboard airplanes. If you are unsure
of restrictions, you are encouraged to ask for authorization
before turning on the wireless radio.
