•remotely open the power liftgate
•remotely start or stop the engine
•arm and disarm the anti-theft system

front doors or at the liftgate or trunk. You can activate the intelligent
access feature as long as you have one of your intelligent access keys
within range of the front doors or the liftgate or trunk.
GENERAL INFORMATION ON RADIO FREQUENCIES
The remote control complies 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.
Note: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). Vehicles with the remote start feature will have a greater

Intelligent Access
The system uses a radio frequency signal to communicate with your
vehicle and authorize your vehicle to unlock when commanded (either by
touching the inside of the driver door or front passenger exterior door
handle, by activating the exterior power trunk or liftgate button, or a
button on the transmitter itself). If excessive radio frequency interface is
present in the area, or if the transmitter battery is low, it may be
necessary to mechanically unlock your door. The mechanical key blade in
your intelligent access key can be used to open the driver’s door in this
situation. Refer toRemote Controlin this chapter for more information
on the location and use of the mechanical key blade.
REMOTE CONTROL
Intelligent Access Key
Your vehicle is equipped with two
intelligent access keys which operate
the power locks and the remote start
system. The key must be in the
vehicle to activate the push button
start system.
The intelligent access key also
contains a removable mechanical key
blade that can be used to unlock the
driver door. Slide the release on the
back of the transmitter to release the
mechanical key blade, then pull the
blade out.
Note:Your vehicle’s back-up keys
were issued with a security tag that
provides important vehicle key cut
information. Keep the tag in a safe
place for future reference.
