GENERAL INFORMATION ON
RADIO FREQUENCIES
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules and with Industry Canada
license-exempt RSS standard(s).
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
expressively approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
The term IC before the radio certification
number only signifies that Industry Canada
technical specifications were met.
The typical operating range for your
transmitter is approximately 33 feet (10
meters). Vehicles with the remote start
feature will have a greater range. One of
the following could cause a decrease in
operating range:
• weather conditions
• nearby radio towers
• structures around the vehicle
• other vehicles parked next to your
vehicle
The radio frequency used by your remote
control can also be used by other short
distance radio transmissions, for example
amateur radios, medical equipment,
wireless headphones, remote controls and
alarm systems. If the frequencies are
jammed, you will not be able to use your
remote control. You can lock and unlock
the doors with the key.
Note: Make sure to lock your vehicle before
leaving it unattended.
Note: If you are in range, the remote control
will operate if you press any button
unintentionally. Intelligent Access
(If Equipped)
The system uses a radio frequency signal
to communicate with your vehicle and
authorize your vehicle to unlock when one
of the following conditions are met:
• You touch the inside of the front
exterior door handle.
• You press the luggage compartment
button.
• You press a button on the transmitter.
If excessive radio frequency interference
is present in the area or if the transmitter
battery is low, you may need to
mechanically unlock your door. You can
use the mechanical key blade in your
intelligent access key to open the driver
door in this situation. See
Remote
Control (page 43).
REMOTE CONTROL
Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (If
Equipped) Use the key blade to start your vehicle and
unlock or lock the driver door from outside
your vehicle. The transmitter portion
functions as the remote control.

Note:
Your vehicle ’s keys came with a
security label that provides important
vehicle key cut information. Keep the label
in a safe place for future reference.
Intelligent Access Transmitter (If
Equipped)
Your intelligent access keys operate the
power locks. The key must be in your
vehicle to activate the push button start
system.
The intelligent access key also contains a
removable mechanical key blade that you
can use to unlock the driver door. Note:
Your vehicle ’s back-up keys came
with a security tag that provides important
vehicle key cut information. Keep the tag in
a safe place for future reference. Reprogramming the Unlocking
Function
Note:
When you press the unlock button
either all the doors are unlocked or only the
driver ’s door and the liftgate are unlocked.
Pressing the unlock button again unlocks
all the doors.
You can reprogram the unlocking function
using the remote control so that only the
driver's door is unlocked. This will enable
two-stage unlocking.
Press and hold the unlock and lock buttons
on the remote control simultaneously for
at least four seconds with the ignition off.
The direction indicators will flash twice to
confirm the change.
To return to the original unlocking function,
repeat the process.
Replacing the Battery
Note: Refer to local regulations when
disposing of transmitter batteries.
Note: Do not wipe off any grease on the
battery terminals or on the back surface of
the circuit board.
Note: Replacing the battery will not delete
the transmitter from the vehicle. The
transmitter should operate normally.
The remote control uses one coin-type
three-volt lithium battery CR2032 or
equivalent.

open on vehicles with a perimeter alarm or
remote start, the horn will sound twice and
the lamps will not flash.

KEYLESS ENTRY
General Information
WARNING
The system may not function if the
key is close to metal objects or
electronic devices such as cell
phones. The system will not function if:
•
Your vehicle battery has no charge.
• The passive key frequencies are
jammed.
• The passive key battery has no charge.
Note: If the system does not function, you
will need to use the key blade to lock and
unlock your vehicle.
The system allows you to operate your
vehicle without the use of a key or remote
control. Passive locking and unlocking requires a
valid passive key to be located within one
of the three external detection ranges.
These are located approximately five feet
(one and a half meters) from the front
door handles and the liftgate. Passive Key
Your vehicle can be locked and unlocked
with the passive key. You can use the
passive key as a remote control. See
Locking and Unlocking (page 54).
Locking Your Vehicle WARNING
Your vehicle does not lock itself
automatically. If you do not press a
locking button your vehicle will
remain unlocked. Locking buttons are located on each of the
front doors.
For central locking and to arm the alarm,
press a locking button once.
For double locking and to arm the alarm,
press a locking button twice within three
seconds.
Note:
Your vehicle will remain locked for
approximately three seconds. When the
delay period is over, you can open the doors
again, provided the passive key is within the
respective detection range.
Two short flashes of the direction
indicators confirms that all the doors and
the liftgate have been locked and that the
alarm has been armed.

Liftgate
Note:
The liftgate cannot be closed and
will pop back up if the passive key is located
inside the luggage compartment with the
doors locked.
Note: If a second valid passive key is
located within the liftgate detection range,
the liftgate can be closed.
Unlocking Your Vehicle
Note: When your vehicle remains locked
for longer than three days, the system will
enter an energy-saving mode. This is to
prevent your vehicle battery running out of
charge. When your vehicle is unlocked while
in this mode, the reaction time of the system
may be a little longer than normal. To exit
the energy-saving mode, unlock your
vehicle. Press a locking button once.
Note:
A valid passive key must be located
within the detection range of that door.
One long flash of the direction indicators
confirms that all the doors and the liftgate
have been unlocked and that the alarm
has been disarmed. Unlocking Only the Driver's Door
If the unlocking function is reprogrammed
so that only the driver
’s door and the
liftgate are unlocked. See Remote
Control (page 43). Note the following:
If the driver ’s door is the first door which is
opened, the other doors will remain locked.
All the other doors can be unlocked from
inside your vehicle by pressing the unlock
button on the instrument panel.
Disabled Keys
Any keys left inside your vehicle interior
when it is locked will be disabled.
You cannot use a disabled key to switch
the ignition on or start the engine.
You must enable all passive keys again in
order to use them.
To enable all your passive keys, unlock your
vehicle using a passive key or the remote
control unlocking function.
All passive keys will then be enabled if you
switch the ignition on or you start your
vehicle with a valid key.
Locking and Unlocking the Doors
