PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The remote control allows you to:
•remotely lock or unlock the vehicle doors.
• remotely open the power liftgate.
• remotely start or stop the engine.
• arm and disarm the anti-theft system.
• activate the panic alarm.
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 term ICbefore 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.
Keys and Remote Control 53

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 any button on the keypad.
• 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 to Remote
Control in this chapter for more information on the location and use of
the mechanical key blade.
REMOTE CONTROL
Intelligent Access Key
Your intelligent access keys operate
the power locks and the remote
start system. The key must be in
your vehicle to activate the
push-button start system.
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 transmitter to release the
key blade, and then pull the blade
out. Note: Your vehicle’s back-up keys
came with a security tag that
provides important key cut
information. Keep the tag in a safe
place for future reference.
54 Keys and Remote Control

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, unless quiet start is on.
Quiet start will run the blower fan at a slower speed to reduce noise. You
can switch it on or off in the information display. See the Information
Displays chapter.
Note: If you remote start your vehicle with an integrated keyhead
transmitter, you must switch the ignition on before driving your vehicle.
If you remote start your vehicle with an intelligent access transmitter,
you must have a programmed intelligent access key inside your vehicle
and press the START/STOP button on the instrument panel once while
applying the brake pedal before driving your vehicle.
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 your vehicle will run for 5, 10, or
15 minutes, depending on the setting. See the Information 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.

Activating Intelligent Access (If Equipped)
You must have the intelligent access key within 3 feet (1 meter) of the
driver’s door.
At the Front Driver Door
Press any number on the SecuriCode keyless entry keypad.After locking the doors with the lock
sensor, there is a brief delay before
you can unlock your vehicle. This
delay lets you pull the door handle
to make sure that it locked.
Note: Keep the keypad surface clean to avoid issues with operation.
Smart Unlocks for Intelligent Access Keys
This feature helps 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 in Pand ignition off), after you
close the door your vehicle will search for an intelligent access key in the
passenger compartment. If your vehicle finds a key, all of the doors will
immediately unlock and the horn will sound, indicating that a key is inside.
You can override the smart unlock feature and intentionally lock the
intelligent access key inside your vehicle. To do this, lock your vehicle
after you have closed all the doors by:
• using the keyless entry keypad
• pressing the lock button on another intelligent access key
• touching the locking area on the handle with another intelligent access
key in your hand.
When you open one of the front doors and lock your vehicle using the
power door lock control, all doors will lock then unlock if:
• the ignition is on, or
• the ignition is off and the transmission is not in P.
Autolock Feature (If Enabled)
The autolock feature will lock all the doors when:
• all the doors are closed,
• the ignition is on,
