Enter-N-Go feature (if equipped).
NOTE

• The key fob may not be found by the RKE system if it is located next to a mobile phone, laptop, or other electronic device; these devices may block the key fob’s wireless signal.
• The key fob allows you to lock or unlock the doors and trunk from distances up to approximately 66 feet (20 m). The key fob does not need to be pointed at the vehicle to activate the system.
• In the ON/RUN position, key fob commands are disabled if the vehicle speed is at or above 2 mph (4 km/h).

NOTE

• Perchlorate Material — special handling may apply. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazard-ouswaste/perchlorate for further information.

2. Separate the key fob halves using the tip of the emergency key, a #2 flat blade screwdriver, or a coin and gently pry the two halves of the key fob apart. Make sure not to damage the seal during removal.
   NOTE: Separating the case can also be done with a key blade or a flat head screwdriver.
3. Remove the battery by turning the back cover over (battery facing downward) and tapping it lightly on a solid surface such as a table or similar surface, and then replace the battery. When replacing the battery, match the (+) sign on the battery to the (+) sign on the inside of the battery clip, located on the back cover. Avoid touching the new battery with your fingers because skin oils may cause battery deterioration. If you touch a battery, clean it with rubbing alcohol.

Programming the key fob may be performed by an authorized dealer.
NOTE: Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be repurposed and reprogrammed to another vehicle.

• For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go — Ignition, always remember to place the ignition in the OFF mode.

Duplication of key fobs may be performed at an authorized dealer. This procedure consists of programming a blank key fob to the vehicle electronics. A blank key fob is one that has never been programmed.
