A WORD ABOUT YOUR
KEYS
Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition
system. This system consists of a Key
Fob with Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter and a Keyless Ig-
nition Node (KIN).
Keyless Enter-N-Go™ Feature
This vehicle is equipped with the Key-
less Enter-N-Go™ feature, (refer to
"Keyless Enter-N-Go™" in "Things
To Know Before Starting Your Ve-
hicle" 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 LOCK/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 emer-
gency key with you when valet park-
ing.
To remove the emergency key, slide
the mechanical latch on the back of
the Key Fob sideways with your
thumb and then pull the key out with
your other hand.

Cycle the vehicle ignition system out of the OFF position by pressing
the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ Start/
Stop button (requires at least one
valid Key Fob in the vehicle).
NOTE:
The driver's door key cylinder and the trunk button on the RKE
transmitter cannot arm or dis-
arm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
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.
PREMIUM SECURITY
SYSTEM (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The Premium Security system moni-
tors the doors, hood latch, and trunk
for unauthorized entry and the igni-
tion switch for unauthorized opera-
tion. The system also includes a dual
function intrusion sensor and vehicle
tilt sensor. The intrusion sensor moni-
tors 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, the alarm will sound and
the turn signal and side repeater lights
will flash for 29 seconds, and then the
lights will continue to flash for an
additional 5 seconds. The system will
repeat this sequence for up to 8 secu-
rity 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"

either of the disarming proce-
dures 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
arm the security system. If you
prefer, you can turn OFF the ul-
trasonic intrusion sensor and
vehicle tilt sensor when arming
the security system. To do so,

GENERAL INFORMATION
Transmitter 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 indi-
vidual country. Two sets of regula-
tions are involved: ETS (European
Telecommunication 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 require-
ments are noted in ANNEX VI of
COMMISSION DIRECTIVE 95/56/
EC. Operation is subject to the follow-
ing conditions:
This device may not cause harmful
interference.
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
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.

The inflating side curtain air bag
pushes the outside edge of the head-
liner out of the way and covers the
window. The air bag inflates in about
30 milliseconds (about one-quarter of
the time that it takes to blink your
eyes) with enough force to injure you
if you are not belted and seated prop-
erly, or if items are positioned in the
area where the side curtain air bag
inflates. This especially applies to
children. The side curtain air bag is
only about 9 cm thick when it is in-
flated.
Because air bag sensors estimate de-
celeration over time, vehicle speed
and damage are not good indicators of
whether or not an air bag should have
deployed.
Front And Side Impact Sensors
In front and side impacts, impact sen-
sors can aid the ORC in determining
appropriate response to impact
events.Enhanced Accident Response
System
In the event of an impact causing air
bag deployment, if the communica-
tion network remains intact, and the
power remains intact, depending on
the nature of the event the ORC will
determine whether to have the En-
hanced Accident Response System
perform the following functions:
Cut off fuel to the engine.
Flash hazard lights as long as the
battery has power or until the igni-
tion is cycled off.
Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has
power or until the ignition key is
removed.
Unlock the doors automatically.
In order to reset the Enhanced Acci-
dent Response System functions after
an event, the ignition switch must be
changed from IGN ON to IGN OFF. If A Deployment Occurs
The Advanced Front Air Bags are de-
signed to deflate immediately after
deployment.
NOTE: Front and/or side air bags
will not deploy in all collisions.
This does not mean something is
wrong with the air bag system.
If you do have a collision, which de-
ploys the air bags, any or all of the
following may occur:
The nylon air bag material may
sometimes cause abrasions and/or
skin reddening to the driver and
front passenger as the air bags de-
ploy and unfold. The abrasions are
similar to friction rope burns or
those you might get sliding along a
carpet or gymnasium floor. They
are not caused by contact with
chemicals. They are not permanent
and normally heal quickly. How-
ever, if you haven't healed signifi-
cantly within a few days, or if you
have any blistering, see your doctor
immediately.

WARNING!
Your new vehicle has many features
for the comfort and convenience of
you and your passengers. Only use
such features when it is safe to do
so. Failure to follow this Warning
may result in an accident involving
serious injury or death.
You can dial a phone number with
your mobile phone keypad and still
use the Uconnect® Phone (while dial-
ing via the mobile phone keypad, the
user must exercise caution and take
precautionary safety measures). By
dialing a number with your paired
Bluetooth® mobile phone, the audio
will be played through your vehicle's
audio system. The Uconnect® Phone
will work the same as if you dial the
number using voice a command. NOTE: Certain brands of mobile
phones do not send the dial ring to
the Uconnect® Phone to play it on
the vehicle audio system, so you
will not hear it. Under this situa-
tion, after successfully dialing a
number the user may feel that the
call did not go through even
though the call is in progress. Once
your call is answered, you will
hear the audio.
Mute/Un-Mute (Mute ON/OFF)
