A WORD ABOUT YOUR
KEYSYour vehicle uses a keyless ignition
system. This system consists of a KeyFob with Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter and a Keyless Ignition
Node (KIN).Keyless Enter­N­Go™ Feature
This vehicle is equipped with the Key-
less Enter­N­Go™ feature, (refer to
"Keyless Enter-N-Go" in "Things To
Know Before Starting Your Vehicle"
for further information).
KEYLESS IGNITION NODE
(KIN)
This feature allows the driver to oper-
ate the ignition switch with the push
of a button, as long as the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is in
the passenger compartment.
The Keyless Ignition Node (KIN) has
four operating positions, three of
which are labeled and will illuminate
when in position. The three positionsare OFF, ACC, and ON/RUN. The
fourth position is START. During start
RUN will illuminate.
NOTE: In case the ignition switch
does not change with the push of a
button, the RKE transmitter (Key
Fob) may have a low or dead bat-
tery. In this situation a back up
method can be used to operate the
ignition switch. Put the nose side
(side opposite of the emergency
key) of the Key Fob against the
ENGINE START/STOP button and
push to operate the
ignition switch.
KEY FOB
The Key Fob also contains the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and
an emergency key, which stores in the
rear of the Key Fob.
The emergency key allows for entry
into the vehicle should the battery in
the vehicle or the Key Fob go dead. The
emergency key is also for locking the
glove box. You can keep the emergency
key with you when valet parking.

mechanical latch on the back of the
Key Fob sideways with your thumb
and then pull the key out with your
other hand.NOTE:

The Vehicle Security Alarm is de-
signed to protect your vehicle; how-
ever, you can create conditions where
the system will give you a false alarm.
If one of the previously described
arming sequences has occurred, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will arm re-
gardless of 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 remain
armed when the battery is reconnected;
the exterior lights will flash, the horn
will sound. If this occurs, disarm the
Vehicle Security Alarm.PREMIUM SECURITY
SYSTEM (for versions/
markets, where provided)The Premium Security system moni-
tors the doors, hood latch, and liftgate
for unauthorized entry and the ignition
switch for unauthorized operation.The system also includes a dual func-
tion intrusion sensor and vehicle tilt
sensor. The intrusion sensor monitors
the vehicle interior for motion. The
vehicle tilt sensor monitors the vehicle
for any tilting actions (tow away, tire
removal, ferry transport, etc).
In the event that something triggers
the security system, the headlights
will turn on and the turn signal and
side repeater lights will flash for
34 seconds. The system will repeat
this sequence for up to 8 security
violations in any mode (door ajar,
motion, hood ajar, etc.) before having
to rearm the system. At the end of any
particular trigger event, the lights will
continue to flash for 26 seconds.
TO ARM THE SYSTEM
Follow these steps to arm the theft
alarm:
1. Make sure the vehicle ignition sys-
tem is "OFF". (refer to "Starting Pro-
cedures" in "Starting And Driving"
for further information).
2. Perform one of the following
methods to lock the vehicle:
 Press LOCK on the interior power
door lock switch with the driver
and/or passenger door open.
 Press the LOCK button on the exte-
rior Passive Entry Door Handle with a
valid Key Fob available in the same

mote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.3. If any doors are open, close them.
NOTE:
Once the security system is armed,
it remains in that state until you
disarm it by following either of the
disarming procedures described.
If a power loss occurs after arming
the system, you must disarm the
system after restoring power to
prevent alarm activation. The ultrasonic intrusion sensor (motion detector) actively moni-
tors your vehicle every time you
16

arm the security system. If you
prefer, you can turn OFF the
ultrasonic intrusion sensor and
vehicle tilt sensor when arming
the security system. To do so,
press the LOCK button on the
RKE transmitter three times
within 5 seconds of arming the
system (while the Vehicle Secu-
rity Light is flashing rapidly).

disarmed using any of the following
methods:
Press the UNLOCK button on the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) trans-
mitter. Grasp the Passive Entry Unlock Door Handle with a valid key fob

GENERAL INFORMATIONTransmitter and receivers operate on a
carrier frequency of 433.92 MHz as
required by EEC regulations. These
devices must be certified to conform to
specific regulations in each individual
country. Two sets of regulations are
involved: ETS (European Telecommu-
nication Standard) 300–220, which
most countries use, and German BZT
federal regulation 225Z125, which
is based on ETC 300–220 but has
additional unique requirements. Other
defined requirements are noted in
ANNEX VI of COMMISSION DIREC-
TIVE 95/56/EC. Operation is subject
to the following conditions: This device may not cause harmfulinterference.
This device must accept any interfer-
ence received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.If your RKE transmitter fails to oper-
ate from a normal distance, check for
these two conditions:
1. A weak battery in the RKE trans-
mitter. The expected life of the battery
is a minimum of three years. 2. Closeness to a radio transmitter
such as a radio station tower, airport
transmitter, and some mobile or CB
radios.
DOOR LOCKS
MANUAL DOOR LOCKS
To lock each door, push the door lock
knob on each door trim panel down-
ward. To unlock the front doors, pull
the inside door handle to the first de-
tent. To unlock the rear doors, pull the
door lock knob on the door trim panel
upward.
If the door lock knob is down when
you shut the door, the door will lock.
Therefore, make sure the Key Fob is
not inside the vehicle before closing
the door.
WARNING!
 For personal security and safety
in the event of an accident, lock
the vehicle doors before you drive
as well as when you park and
leave the vehicle.
 When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key fob and lock your
vehicle.
 Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an un-
locked vehicle.
 Allowing children to be in a ve- hicle unattended is dangerous for
a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously or fa-
tally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking
brake, brake pedal or the shift
lever.
 Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, and do not leave Key-
less Enter-N-Go in the ACC or
ON/RUN mode. A child could
operate power windows, other
controls, or move the vehicle.
