REMOTE ENTRY SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
FCC ID: LXP-RX4318 IC: 2298A-RX4318
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 66 feet
(20 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 trunk.
•arm and disarm the perimeter anti-theft system.
•operate the illuminated entry feature.
The remote entry lock/unlock feature operates in any ignition position
except when the engine is running and vehicle speed is more than 4 mph
(7 km/h).
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)
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 driver door, passenger front door or at the trunk. You can
activate the intelligent access feature as long as you have one of your
intelligent access keys within range of the driver door, passenger front
door or the trunk.

the front doors:If your IA key is
within 3 feet (1 meter) of the
driver’s door or passenger front
door, you can activate your
intelligent access system by pressing
the lock button.
To lock/unlock the doors, press the
lock button on the handle.
Pressing the driver’s door lock button while two-stage unlock is enabled
will only unlock the driver’s door. Pressing the button with two-stage
unlock disabled will unlock all doors. The passenger front door lock
button will unlock all doors regardless of two-stage unlock mode. To
disable/enable two-stage unlock, refer toUnlocking the doors/two-stage
unlocklater in this section.
Activating intelligent access at the trunk:If your IA key is within

system by pressing the exterior trunk release button, located above the
license plate. The trunk will release and open.
Refer to theRemote entry systemin this section for more details on
how to use the lock, unlock, panic or trunk buttons on the transmitter.
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 pressing any keyless entry keypad button,
the trunk 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 keyin this chapter for more
information on the location and use of the mechanical key blade).
A mechanical key is needed for access if the IA key battery or vehicle
battery is low.
Push button start:Your vehicle is equipped with a push button start
system, which allows you to start your vehicle without using a key. To
operate the push button start system and start your vehicle, your IA key
must be present inside the vehicle, either in the passenger compartment
or in the trunk. Refer toPush button start systemin theDriving
chapter.
