There may be areas inside your vehicle where the IA Key is not
detected. If the messageNo Fob Detectedappears on your message
center when you press the start/stop button, it may be necessary to
move your IA Key to another area within the vehicle. The IA Key may
not be detected near the roof (between the driver or passenger sunvisor
and the roof, or in the overhead console area) or in the extreme corners
of the rear package tray, near your audio speakers. It is not
recommended that you stow the IA Key in these locations. If you move
the IA Key to a location where it has been detected before and you still
see theNo Fob Detectedmessage, your IA Key’s battery may be low or
you may be in an area with excessive radio frequency interference. If
this occurs, you can use the backup method to start your vehicle (see
below).
Backup Method of Starting:Your
Intelligent Access Key uses a radio
frequency signal to communicate
with your vehicle and authorize your
vehicle to start when you press the
start/stop button and apply the
brake pedal. If excessive radio
frequency interference is present in
the area, or if the battery in your IA
Key is low, it may be necessary to
start your car by inserting the IA
Key in the backup slot, located in
your glove box. Insert the IA Key
into the slot with buttons facing out
and with key ring up. After inserting
the IA Key into the backup slot, use
the start/stop button and brake
pedal to start your vehicle as usual.
The vehicle should respond normally
as long as the IA Key is in the
backup slot in the glove box. Once the vehicle is started, the IA key can
be removed from the backup slot, if desired.
