The Key Fob operates the ignition switch. It also contains
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and an
emergency key, which stores in the rear of the Key Fob.
NOTE:If your vehicle is equipped with Passive Entry/
Keyless Go (PEKG), the Key Fob will also contain a
special receiver that communicates with the vehicle.
Passive Entry/Keyless Go Key Fobs can only be used
with Passive Entry/Keyless Go equipped vehicles. Non-
Passive Entry/Keyless Go Key Fobs can only be used
with Non-Passive Entry/Keyless Go vehicles.
The emergency key allows for entry into the vehicle
should the battery in the vehicle or the RKE transmitter
go dead. The emergency key is also for locking the glove
box. You can keep the emergency key with you when
valet parking.

whether you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in the
vehicle and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed and the battery
becomes disconnected the Vehicle Security Alarm will
