Smart unlocks for integrated keyhead transmitter (IKT)
This feature helps to prevent you from locking yourself out of the vehicle
if your key is still in the ignition.
When you open one of the front doors and you lock the vehicle with the
power door lock control (on the driver or passenger door trim panel), all
the doors will lock, then all doors will automatically unlock reminding
you that your key is still in the ignition.
The vehicle can still be locked, with the key in the ignition, using the
control on the transmitter, or locking the vehicle with the keyless entry
keypad (only if the front doors are closed).
If both front doors are closed, the vehicle can be locked by any method,
regardless of whether the key is in the ignition or not.
Smart unlocks for intelligent access keys (IA key) (if equipped)
The smart unlock feature is intended to prevent you from unintentionally
locking your IA key inside your vehicle’s passenger compartment or rear
cargo area.
When you lock your vehicle using the driver or passenger power door
lock control (with the door open, vehicle in park and ignition off), after
you close the door the vehicle will search for an IA key in the passenger
compartment. If an IA key is found inside the vehicle, all of the doors
will immediately unlock and the horn will chirp, indicating that the IA
key is inside.
In order to override the smart unlock feature and intentionally lock the
IA key inside the vehicle, you can lock your vehicle using your keyless
entry keypad or using the
control on another IA key. Refer toKeyless
entry systemin this chapter for more information on keyless entry
keypad operation.

If your vehicle’s perimeter alarm is in the armed state, the smart unlock
feature will not allow you to lock your IA key inside the vehicle. When
the alarm is armed, if the IA key is detected in the vehicle, the liftgate
will automatically be released, and the horn will chirp, as a reminder that
the IA key is inside. If you would like to intentionally lock your IA key in
your vehicle, first disarm the perimeter alarm by unlocking the vehicle,
then place the IA key in the rear cargo area, close the liftgate, and rearm
your perimeter alarm system by locking the vehicle using your keyless
entry keypad or another IA key. For more information on
arming/disarming of the perimeter alarm system, refer toPerimeter
alarm systemin this chapter.

REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEM
The integrated keyhead transmitters (IKTs) and intelligent access keys
(IA key) comply with part 15 of the FCC rules and with RSS-210 of
Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
The typical operating range for your transmitter is approximately 33 feet
(10 meters). A decrease in operating range could be caused by:
•weather conditions,
•nearby radio towers,
•structures around the vehicle, or
•other vehicles parked next to your vehicle.
The transmitter allows you to:
•remotely unlock the vehicle doors
.
•remotely lock all the vehicle doors
.
•remotely open the power liftgate (if equipped)
.
•remotely start the vehicle (if equipped)
.
•activate the personal alarm
.
•arm and disarm the perimeter anti-theft system.
•operate the illuminated entry feature.
•activate the global opening windows feature.
Refer toIntelligent accessin this section for more features.
The remote entry lock/unlock feature operates in any ignition position
except while the vehicle is in the start position. The panic feature
operates with the ignition off.
If there are problems with the remote entry system, make sure to take
ALL integrated keyhead transmitters or intelligent access keys
with you to the authorized dealer in order to aid in troubleshooting the
problem.

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
button on chrome handled doors or the small bump on painted door
handles).
Activating intelligent access at the liftgate:If your IA key is within
3 feet (1 meter) of the liftgate, you can activate your intelligent access
system by pressing the exterior liftgate release button, hidden under the
trim above the license plate. The liftgate will release and open.
Push button start:The push button start system allows you to start
your vehicle without using a key. Refer toPush button startin the
Drivingchapter.
