KEY FOB
• This feature allows the driver to oper-ate the ignition switch with the push of
a button as long as the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter is in the pas-
senger compartment.
• The Keyless Push Button Ignition has four operating positions, three of
which are labeled and will illuminate
when in position. The three positions
are OFF, ACC, and ON/RUN. The fourth
position is START, during start, RUN
will illuminate.
NOTE:
In case the ignition switch does not change
with the push of a button, the RKE trans-
mitter (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.
• The Ignition Node Module (IGNM) op- erates similar to an ignition switch. It
has four operating positions, three with
detents and one that is spring-loaded.
The detent positions are OFF, ACC, and
ON/RUN. The START position is a
spring-loaded momentary contact po-
sition. When released from the START
position, the switch automatically re-
turns to the ON/RUN position.

Locking And Unlocking The Doors/Liftgate
• Push LOCK button once to lock all the doors and the liftgate. Push UNLOCKbutton once to unlock the driver’s door only and twice within five seconds to unlock
all the doors and the liftgate.
• All doors can be programmed to unlock on the first push the UNLOCK button. Refer to “Programmable Features” in this guide.

WARNING!
• When leaving the vehicle, always remove the Key Fob from the ignition and lock

• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should
be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the transmission gear
selector.
• Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle (or in a location accessible to
children), and do not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.

• The vehicle must be started with the key after two consecutive timeouts.
WARNING!
• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gas contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon
Monoxide is poisonous and can cause serious injury or death when inhaled.
• Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start
System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause serious injury or
death.
Remote Start Windshield Wiper De–icer Activation — If Equipped
When Remote Start is active and the outside ambient temperature is less than 40° F
(4.4° C), the wiper De-Icer will be enabled. On exiting remote start resume previous
operation except, if the De-Icer is active, the De-Icer timer and operation will continue.
VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors for unauthorized entry and the
ignition for unauthorized operation. While the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed,
interior switches for door locks and decklid release are disabled. If something triggers
the alarm, the Vehicle Security Alarm will provide the following audible and visible
signals: the horn will pulse, the park lamps and/or turn signals will flash, and the
Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash.
To Arm The System:
Lock the door using either the power door lock switch (one door must be open) or the
LOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter (doors can be open or
closed), and close all doors.
The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash for 16 seconds. This
shows that the Vehicle Security Alarm is arming. During this period, if a door is
opened, the ignition is cycled to ON/RUN, or the power door locks are unlocked in any
manner, the Vehicle Security Alarm will automatically disarm.

NOTE:
• The Vehicle Security Alarm will not arm if you lock the doors with the manual doorlock plungers.
• Once armed, the Vehicle Security Alarm disables the unlock switch on the driver door trim panel and passenger door trim panel.
To Disarm The System:
Push the Key Fob UNLOCK button or cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your vehicle. However, you can create
conditions where the Vehicle Security Alarm will give you a false alarm. If one of the
previously described arming sequences has occurred, the Vehicle Security Alarm will
arm regardless of whether you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle and
open a door, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed and the battery becomes disconnected, the Vehicle
Security Alarm will remain armed when the battery is reconnected. The exterior lights will
flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.

The Keyless Enter-N-Go system is an enhancement to the vehicle’s Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) feature. This feature allows you to lock and unlock the vehicle's door(s)
and liftgate without having to push the Key Fob LOCK or UNLOCK buttons, as well as
starting and stopping the vehicle with the push of a button.
To Unlock From The Driver Or Passenger Side:
