REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE) — IF
EQUIPPED
This system allows you to lock or unlock the doors and
liftgate, and activate the Panic Alarm, optional power
liftgate, left power sliding door, and right power sliding
door from distances up to approximately 66 ft (20 m)
using a hand-held Key Fob with RKE transmitter. The
RKE transmitter does not need to be pointed at the
vehicle to activate the system. NOTE:
Inserting the Key Fob with RKE transmitter into
the ignition switch disables the system from responding
to any button pushed from that RKE transmitter. Driving
at speeds 5 mph (8 km/h) and above disables the system
from responding to all RKE transmitter buttons for all
RKE transmitters.
Two RKE transmitters may be supplied with the vehicle.
Vehicles built without the powered options will be
equipped from the factory with three-button RKE trans-
mitters, and those built with power options will be
equipped with up to seven-button RKE transmitters.Using The RKE Transmitter
Three-button RKE transmitters will provide basic UN-
LOCK, LOCK, and PANIC functions.

that allow the same basic operation as the three-button,
but may also be used to operate the power liftgate
(optional), power sliding doors, and Remote Start feature(optional). Some features can be programmed to the
customers preferences. For example, flash headlights or
