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
expressively approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
The term IC before 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. One of the
following could cause a decrease in
operating range:
•
weather conditions
• nearby radio towers
• structures around the vehicle
• other vehicles parked next to your
vehicle
Other short-distance radio transmitters, such
as amateur radios, medical equipment,
wireless headphones, remote controls and
alarm systems may operate on the same
frequency as your remote control. If other
transmitters are operating on those
frequencies, you may not be able to use your
remote control. Using your remote control
near some types of electronic equipment,
such as USB devices, computers or cell
phones can interfere with remote operation.
Operating your remote control near metal or
metallic-finished purses, bags or clothing can
interfere with remote operation. You can lock
and unlock the doors with the key. Note:
Make sure to lock your vehicle 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 are 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, you may need 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.
See Remote Control (page 58).

MKC (TME), enUSA Keys and Remote Controls

REMOTE CONTROL
Intelligent Access Key
Your intelligent access keys to operate the
power locks and the remote start system.
The key must be in your vehicle to activate
the push-button start system.
Removable Key Blade
The intelligent access key also contains a
removable mechanical key blade that you
can use to unlock the driver door. Slide the release on the back of the remote
control and pivot the cover off to access the
key blade.
Note:
Your vehicle ’s backup keys came 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.
A message will appear in the information
display when the remote control battery is
low. See General Information (page 112).
Intelligent Access Transmitter
The remote control uses two coin-type
three-volt lithium batteries CR2025 or
equivalent.

1. Slide the release on the back of the
remote control and pivot the cover off. 2. Insert a coin into the slot and twist to
separate the housing. 3. Remove the batteries.
4. Install new batteries with the + facing

between the two batteries.
5. Reinstall the housing and cover.
Car Finder Press the button twice within three
seconds. The horn will sound and
the turn signals will flash. We
recommend you use this method to locate
your vehicle, rather than using the panic
alarm. Sounding a Panic Alarm
Note:
The panic alarm will only operate
when the ignition is off. Press the button to activate the
alarm. Press the button again or
switch the ignition on to deactivate.
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 the 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 Automatic Climate
Control (page 136). A manual climate control
system will run at the setting it was set to
when you switched the vehicle 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 open.
• The transmission is not in
P.
• 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 if you do not follow this
sequence. The tag with your transmitter details the
starting procedure.
To remote start your vehicle:
1. Press the lock button.
2.
Press the remote start button twice. The
exterior lamps will flash twice.
The horn will sound if the system fails to start.
See
General Information (page 112).
The power windows will not work during the
remote start and the radio will not turn on
automatically. The parking lamps will remain on and the
vehicle will run for 5, 10, or 15 minutes,
depending on the setting.
Extending the Vehicle Run Time
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the vehicle still
running to extend the run time for another
remote start duration. If you programmed the
duration to last 10 minutes, the second 10
minutes will begin after what is left of the first
activation time. For example, if the vehicle
had been running from the first remote start
for five minutes, the vehicle will continue to
run now for a total of 15 minutes. You can
extend the remote start up to a maximum of
35 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.

MKC (TME), enUSA Keys and Remote ControlsE138626 E138625

You may have to be closer to the 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. See
General Information (page 112).
