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 for
(versions/markets where provided)
This vehicle may be equipped with
the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ feature, re-
fer to Starting Procedures in Starting
And Operating for further informa-
tion.
IGNITION NODE MODULE
(IGNM) — (for
versions/markets where
provided)
The Ignition Node Module (IGNM) op-
erates similar 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 position is a
spring-loaded momentary contact po-
sition. When released from the START
position, the switch automatically re-
turns to the ON/RUN position.
NOTE: If your vehicle is
equipped with Keyless Enter-N-
Go™, the Electronic Vehicle Infor-
mation Center (EVIC) will display
the ignition switch position (OFF/
ACC/RUN). Refer to “Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
— (for versions/markets where
provided) in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” for further in-
formation.
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.
You can keep the emergency key with
you when valet parking.
To remove the emergency key, slide
the mechanical latch on the face of the
Key Fob sideways with your thumb
and then pull the key out with your
other hand.
NOTE: You can insert the double-
sided emergency key into the lock
cylinders with either side up.
