Intelligent access (if equipped)
WARNING:Radio waves from the intelligent access system
transmitters in the vehicle may affect certain implanted medical
devices such as pacemakers or cardiac defibrillators. People having
such implanted medical devices should ask the medical device
manufacturer or their physician whether the intelligent access system
may affect the equipment before coming into close proximity with a
vehicle equipped with intelligent access. Failure to do so may result in
interference with the medical device, which could result in serious
injury.
Your intelligent access system uses a radio frequency (RF) signal to
communicate with your vehicle and authorize your vehicle to unlock
when commanded (either by touching the inside of the driver or front
passenger exterior door handle, the power liftgate button, or a button on
the transmitter itself). If excessive RF interference is present in the area,
or if your vehicle battery is low, it may be necessary to mechanically
unlock your door. The mechanical key blade in your IA key can be used
to open the driver’s door in this situation (refer toIntelligent access key
in this chapter for more information on the location and use of the
mechanical key blade).
Your vehicle will allow you to unlock and enter your vehicle without
actively using a key or transmitter. You can use the intelligent access
feature at the front doors or at the liftgate. You can activate the
intelligent access feature as long as you have one of your IA keys within
range of the front doors or the liftgate.
Activating intelligent access at the front doors:If your IA key is
within 3 feet (1 meter) of the front doors you can activate your
intelligent access system by touching the inside of the driver or front
passenger exterior door handle. The door(s) will automatically unlock
and the door can be opened.
To lock the doors, press the lock area on either door handle (black
