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
