KEYS

Key Fob
Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system. This system includes a key fob and a keyless push-button ignition. The Remote Keyless Entry key fob allows you to lock or unlock the doors and trunk or activate the Panic Alarm from distances. The key fob does not need to be pointed at the vehicle to activate the system.

PANIC Function
The key fob contains a PANIC button. Should you ever feel threatened, push this button and the vehicle security alarm will sound.
To activate the PANIC function, push and hold the PANIC button for at least one second. When the panic alarm is active, the headlights turn on, the turn signals flash, the horn honks intermittently, and all interior adjustable lights turn on. The panic alarm will remain active for three minutes, and can be deactivated:

• By pushing the PANIC button again.
• Automatically if the vehicle speed exceeds 5 mph (8 km/h).
  In both cases, the panic alarm is immediately deactivated.

Warning

• Before exiting a vehicle, always shift the automatic transmission into PARK, apply the parking brake, turn the engine OFF, remove the key fob from the vehicle, and lock your vehicle.
• 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 seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal, or gear selector.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to children. A child could operate power windows, and other controls, or move the vehicle.
• Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat build-up may cause serious injury or death.

Operation

The door And Trunk Lid Unlock
Briefly pushing the unlock button on the key fob will unlock the doors and trunk lid, turn on the interior lights, and flash the turn signals once (if activated from the Information and Entertainment System).
Push and release the unlock button on the key fob once to unlock the driver-side front door or twice within one second to unlock all doors and the trunk lid.
The current unlock setting can be changed through the Information and Entertainment System menu so that the system unlocks:

• All doors unlock on the first push of the key fob unlock button.
• Unlock the driver’s door on the first push of the key fob unlock button.

Flashing of the turn signals upon locking/unlocking the doors and activation of the courtesy light upon unlocking the doors can be activated or deactivated through the Information and Entertainment System. For further information, refer to the Information and Entertainment System Owner’s Manual Supplement. The doors can also be unlocked by using the emergency key, located inside the key fob.

Door And Trunk Lid Lock
Briefly pushing the lock button on the key fob will lock the doors and trunk lid, turn off the interior lights, and flash the turn signals (if activated in the Information and Entertainment System). If one or more doors are open, these doors will also lock, and this is indicated by a rapid flashing of the turn signals. The doors prepare for locking, which becomes active from the moment they are closed. The doors will unlock again only if the key fob is detected inside the passenger compartment. The doors can be locked by using the emergency key in the driver’s side door lock.

Trunk Lid Opening
Rapidly push the trunk lid key fob button twice to open the trunk lid. The turn signals will flash to indicate that the trunk lid has been opened.

Remote Start
The remote start button on the key fob enables the engine to start (push the button twice within five seconds to start the engine).

Car Finder
Push the lock or unlock button to remotely and temporarily turn on the turn signals and headlights. This is useful for finding the vehicle easily in a crowded area like a parking garage, for example. Pushing the lock or unlock button again will restart the lights turn on a timer (if the parking lights functions were already active, it will remain active).
This function is available only if the doors are closed.

Replacing The Electronic Key Fob Battery
To replace the battery, proceed as follows:

1. Push the sides of the key fob inward and extract the cover pulling downwards.
2. Remove the emergency key from its housing.

Proceed in reverse order to reassemble the key.
Caution: The battery replacement operation must be done with care, in order not to damage the electronic key.

Request For Additional Keys
The system can recognize up to eight key fobs with remote control. To guarantee that the engine starts and the vehicle operates correctly, use only electronic key fobs specifically coded for the vehicle’s electronics. If an electronic key fob is coded for a vehicle, it cannot be used on any other vehicle.

Duplicating Keys
If you need a replacement key fob, go to an authorized dealer.

Warning

• Never use the PARK position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage.
