A WORD ABOUT YOUR
KEYS
Your vehicle is equipped with a key-
less ignition system. This system con-
sists of a Key Fob with Remote Key-
less Entry (RKE) transmitter and a
Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) with
integral ignition switch. You can in-
sert the Key Fob into the ignition
switch with either side up.
Keyless Enter-N-Go Feature
This vehicle may be equipped with
the Keyless Enter-N-Go feature, refer
to “Starting Procedures” in “Starting
And Operating” for further informa-
tion.
WIRELESS IGNITION
NODE (WIN)
The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) op-
erates similarly to an ignition switch.
It has four operating positions, three
with detents and one that is spring-
loaded. The detent positions are OFF,
ACC, and ON/RUN. The START po-
sition is a spring-loaded momentary
contact position. When released fromthe START position, the switch auto-
matically returns to the ON/RUN po-
sition.
NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped
with Keyless Enter-N-Go, the Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) will display the ignition
switch position (OFF/ACC/RUN).
Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Infor-
mation Center (EVIC) (for
versions/markets, where pro-
vided)” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” for further in-
formation.
Key Fob
The Key Fob operates the ignition
switch. Insert the square end of the
Key Fob into the ignition switch lo-
cated on the instrument panel and
rotate to the desired position. It 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 RKE transmitter go
dead. The emergency key is also for
locking the lower glove compartment.
You can keep the emergency key with
you when valet parking.
To remove the emergency key, slide
the mechanical latch at the top of the
Key Fob sideways with your thumb
and then pull the key out with your
other hand.

TO DISARM THE SYSTEM
The Vehicle Security Alarm can be
disarmed using any of the following
methods:
Press the UNLOCK button on theRemote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter.
Grasp the Passive Entry Unlock Door Handle (for versions/
markets, where provided), refer to
"Keyless Enter-N-Go" in "Things
To Know Before Starting Your Ve-
hicle" for further information). Cycle the vehicle ignition system
out of the OFF position.
For vehicles equipped with Key- less Enter-N-Go, press the Key-
less Enter-N-Go Start/Stop but-
ton (requires at least one valid
Key Fob in the vehicle).
For vehicles not equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go, insert a
valid key into the ignition switch
and turn the key to the ON posi-
tion.
NOTE:
The driver's door key cylinder and the liftgate button on the
RKE transmitter cannot arm or
disarm the Vehicle Security
Alarm.
The Vehicle Security Alarm re- mains armed during power lift-
gate entry. Pressing the liftgate
button will not disarm the Ve-
hicle Security Alarm. If someone
enters the vehicle through the
liftgate and opens any door the
alarm will sound. When the Vehicle Security
Alarm is armed, the interior
power door lock switches will
not unlock the doors.
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 discon-
nected, the Vehicle Security Alarm
will remain armed when the battery is
reconnected; the exterior lights will
flash, the horn will sound. If this oc-
curs, disarm the Vehicle Security
Alarm.

This device must accept any inter-ference received, including interfer-
ence that may cause undesired op-
eration.
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
Lock the front doors by pushing down
on the lock knobs on each door trim
panel.
If the lock knob is down when you
shut either front door, the door will
lock. Make sure the keys are not inside
the vehicle before closing the door. If the lock knob is rearward when you
shut either side sliding door, the door
will lock. Make sure the keys are not
inside the vehicle before closing the
door.
WARNING!
For personal security and safety
in the event of a collision, lock the
vehicle doors as you drive as well
as when you park and leave the
vehicle.
When leaving the vehicle, always
remove the Key Fob from the ig-
nition 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, or in a location
accessible to children, and do not
leave Keyless EnterNGo™ in
the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A
child could operate power win-
dows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.

TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
NOTE: This section describes procedures for towing a disabled vehicle using a commercial wrecker service.Towing ConditionWheels OFF the GroundALL MODELS
Flat Tow NONEIf transmission is operable:
Transmission inNEUTRAL

Front OK
Flatbed ALLBEST METHOD
Proper towing or lifting equipment is
required to prevent damage to your
vehicle. Use only tow bars and other
equipment designed for this purpose,
following equipment manufacturer’s
instructions. Use of safety chains is
mandatory. Attach a tow bar or other
towing device to main structural
members of the vehicle, not to bum-
pers or associated brackets. State and
local laws regarding vehicles under
tow must be observed.
If you must use the accessories (wip-
ers, defrosters, etc.) while being
towed, the ignition must be in the
ON/RUN position, not the ACC posi-
tion. If the key fob is unavailable, or the
battery is discharged, see "Shift Lever
Override" in "What To Do In Emer-
gencies" for instructions on shifting
the automatic transmission out of
PARK for towing.
CAUTION!
Do not use sling type equipment
when towing. Damage to the fas-
cia will occur.
When securing the vehicle to a flatbed truck, do not attach to
front or rear suspension compo-
nents. Damage to your vehicle
may result from improper towing.
(Continued)
CAUTION!(Continued)
Do not push or tow this vehicle with another vehicle as damage to
the bumper fascia and transmis-
sion may result.
The manufacturer recommends tow-
ing your vehicle with all four wheels
OFF the ground using a flatbed. If
flatbed equipment is not available,
and the transmission is operable, the
vehicle may be flat towed (with all
four wheels on the ground) under the
following conditions:
The transmission must be in NEU- TRAL.
