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.

Know Before Starting Your Ve-
hicle" for further information).
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"
for further information).
2. Perform one of the following
methods to lock the vehicle:
Press LOCK on the interior power
door lock switch with the driver
and/or passenger door open.
Press the LOCK button on the exte-
rior Passive Entry Door Handle with a
valid Key Fob available in the same
exterior zone (refer to "Keyless Enter-
N-Go™" in "Knowing Your Vehicle"
for further information).

Press the LOCK button on the Re-
mote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmit-
ter.
3. If any doors are open, close them.
NOTE:
Once the security system isarmed, it remains in that state
until you disarm it by following
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,
press the LOCK button on the
RKE transmitter three times
within 5 seconds of arming the
system (while the Vehicle Secu-
rity Light is flashing rapidly).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 with a valid key fob
available in the same exterior zone
(refer to "Keyless Enter-N-Go™"
in "Knowing Your Vehicle" for fur-
ther information).
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.
