REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)This system allows you to lock or unlock the
doors or liftgate from distances up to approxi-
mately 33 ft (10 m) using a hand-held Key Fob
with RKE transmitter. The RKE transmitter does
not need to be pointed at the vehicle to activate
the system.
NOTE:
Inserting the Key Fob with RKE transmitter
into the ignition switch disables all buttons
on that RKE transmitter; however, the but-
tons on the remaining RKE transmitters will
continue to work. Driving at speeds 5 mph
(8 km/h) and above disables all RKE trans-
mitter buttons for all RKE transmitters.To Unlock the DoorsPress and release the UNLOCK button on the
RKE transmitter once to unlock the driver’s
door or twice to unlock all doors. The turn
signal lights will flash to acknowledge the un-
lock signal. The illuminated entry system will
also turn on.

To Know Before Starting Your Vehicle” for fur-
ther information.
