NOTE:Only Key Fobs that are programmed to the
vehicle electronics can be used to start and operate the
vehicle. Once a Key Fob is programmed to a vehicle, it
cannot be programmed to any other vehicle.
CAUTION!
• Always remove the Key Fobs from the vehicle and
lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unat-
tended.
• For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go,
always remember to place the ignition in the OFF
position.
Duplication of Key Fobs may be performed at an autho-
rized dealer. This procedure consists of programming a
blank Key Fob to the vehicle electronics. A blank Key Fob
is one that has never been programmed.

IGNITION SWITCH
Operation
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 Integrated Mechanical Key Ignition.
The keyless ignition system consists of a Key Fob with
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and a Keyless
Push Button Ignition.
Mechanical Key
The Mechanical Key has three operating positions, two
with detents and one that is spring-loaded. The detent
positions are STOP/OFF, MAR/RUN, and AVV/START.
The AVV/START position is a spring-loaded momentary contact position. When released from the AVV/START
position, the switch automatically returns to the MAR/
RUN position.

•The key can be removed from the ignition.
• The steering column can be locked (with the ignition
key removed).
• Some electrical devices (e.g. power locks, alarm, etc.)
are still available.
2 — MAR/RUN
• Driving position.
• Electrical devices are available.
3 — AVV/START
• Start the engine.
The ignition switch is provided with a safety mechanism.
If the engine fails to start, the ignition will return to the
STOP/OFF position prior to repeating the starting pro-
cedure. On models equipped with an automatic transmission, the
ignition key is only removable when the shift lever is in
PARK.
Electronic Key
This Keyless Enter-N-Go system feature allows the driver
to operate the ignition switch with the push of a button as
long as the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is in
the passenger compartment.
The Keyless Push Button Ignition has three operating
positions. The three positions are STOP, RUN, and
START.4

NOTE:If the ignition switch does not change with the
push of a button, the RKE transmitter (Key Fob) may
have a low or dead battery. In this situation, a back up
method can be used to operate the ignition switch. Put
the nose side (side opposite of the emergency key) of the
Key Fob against the ENGINE START/STOP button and
push to operate the ignition switch.
