KEYS
Your vehicle uses either a key start ignition system or
keyless ignition system. The key start ignition system
consists of a Key Fob with a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter and an Ignition Node Module (IGNM). The
keyless ignition system consists of a Key Fob with
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and a Keyless
Ignition Node (KIN).
Key Fob With Remote Control
The Key Fob with Remote Control contains a Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. The RKE system allows
you to lock or unlock the doors and liftgate or activate the
Panic Alarm from distances up to approximately 66 ft (20
m) using a handheld Key Fob with a RKE transmitter.
The RKE transmitter does not need to be pointed at the
vehicle to activate the system.
NOTE:In the ON/RUN position, the LOCK button is
disabled. Only the UNLOCK button is enabled.
