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 expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment. The termICbefore 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. A decrease in operating range could be caused by:
•weather conditions
•nearby radio towers
•structures around your 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 your vehicle is locked before leaving it unattended.
Note:If you are in range, the remote control will operate if you press
any button unintentionally.
Intelligent Access
The system uses a radio frequency signal to communicate with your
vehicle and authorize your vehicle to unlock when one of the following
conditions is 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, it may be necessary 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. 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 has 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 key also has a removable
mechanical key blade that you can
use to unlock the driver door. Slide
the release on the back of the
transmitter to release the mechanical
key blade, and 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.
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.

Remote Start
WARNING:To avoid exhaust fumes, do not use remote start if
your vehicle is parked indoors or areas that are not well
ventilated.
Note:Do not use remote start if your vehicle is low on fuel.
The remote start button is on the transmitter.
This feature allows you to start your vehicle from outside your vehicle.
The transmitter has an extended operating range.
Vehicles with automatic climate control can be configured to operate
when the vehicle is remote started. See theClimate Controlchapter for
more information. A manual climate control system will run at the setting
it was set to when your vehicle was last turned off.
Many states and provinces have restrictions for the use of remote start.
Check your local and state or provincial laws for specific requirements
regarding remote start systems.
The remote start system will not work if:
•the ignition is on
•the alarm system is triggered
•you disable the feature
•the hood is not closed
•the transmission is not inP
•the vehicle battery voltage is too low
•the service engine soon light is on.

Remote Starting the Vehicle
Note:You must press each button within three seconds of each other.
Your vehicle will not remote start and the horn will not sound if you do
not follow this sequence.
The label on your transmitter
details the starting procedure.
To remote start your vehicle:
1. Press the lock button to lock all
the doors.
2. Press the remote start button twice. The exterior lamps will flash
twice.
The horn will sound if the system fails to start.
Note:If you remote start your vehicle you must have a programmed
intelligent access key inside your vehicle and press theSTART/STOP
button on the instrument panel once while applying the brake pedal
before driving your vehicle.
The power windows are inhibited during the remote start and the radio
will not turn on automatically.
The parking lamps will remain on and your vehicle will run for 5, 10, or
15 minutes, depending on the setting. See theInformation Displays
chapter to select the duration of the remote start system.
Extending the Vehicle Run Time
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with your vehicle still running to extend the run
time for another remote start duration. If the duration is set to last
10 minutes, the duration will extend by another 10 minutes beginning
after what is left of the first activation time. For example, if your vehicle
had been running from the first remote start for five minutes, your
vehicle will continue to run now for a total of 15 minutes.
Wait at least five seconds before remote starting after a vehicle
shutdown.

Turning the Vehicle Off After Remote Starting
Press the button once. The parking lamps will turn off.
You may have to be closer to your vehicle than when starting due to
ground reflection and the added noise of the running vehicle.
You can disable or enable the remote start system through the
information display. Refer to theInformation Displaychapter.
REPLACING A LOST KEY OR REMOTE CONTROL
You can purchase replacement or additional keys or remote controls from
an authorized dealer. A dealer can program the transmitters to your
vehicle or you may be able to program them yourself. See theSecurity

If the distance does not accumulate as expected, then the intended user
is not using the MyKey, or an admin key user recently cleared and then
recreated a MyKey.

Press the button hidden near the license plate.
Smart Unlocks
The smart unlock feature is intended to prevent you from unintentionally
locking your intelligent access key inside your vehicle’s passenger
compartment or rear cargo area.
When you lock your vehicle using the driver or passenger power door
lock control (with the door open, transmission is inPand ignition off),
after you close the door the vehicle will search for an intelligent access
key in the passenger compartment. If an intelligent access key is found
inside your vehicle, all of the doors will immediately unlock and the horn
will chirp, indicating that the intelligent access key is inside.
In order to override the smart unlock feature and intentionally lock the
intelligent access key inside your vehicle, you can lock your vehicle after
all doors are closed by using the keyless entry keypad, pressing the lock
button on another intelligent access key or touching the locking area on
the handle with another intelligent access key in your hand. Refer to
SecuriCode™ Keyless Entry Keypadin this chapter for more
information on keyless entry keypad operation.
