KEYS
Key Fob
Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition
system. This system includes a key fob
and a keyless push button ignition.
The key fob with Remote Control
contains a Remote Keyless Entry key
fob. The Remote Keyless Entry system
allows you to lock or unlock the doors
and trunk or activate the Panic Alarm
from distances. The key fob does not
need to be pointed at the vehicle to
activate the system.
PANIC Function
To activate the PANIC function, push
and hold the PANIC button for at least
one second. When the panic alarm is
active, the headlights turn on, the turn
signals flash, the horn honks
intermittently, and all internal adjustablelights turn on. The panic alarm will
remain active for three minutes, and
can be deactivated:By pushing the PANIC button again.
Automatically if the vehicle speed
exceeds 5 mph (8 km/h).
In both cases, the panic alarm is
immediately deactivated.
Warning!
Before exiting a vehicle, always shift the
automatic transmission into PARK, apply
the parking brake, turn the engine OFF,
remove the key fob from the vehicle and
lock your vehicle.
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 gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat
build-up may cause serious injury or death.

still blocked, try with the other keys
provided. If it is still not possible to start
the engine, contact an authorized
dealer.
If the Engine Immobilizer
Failure/Break-in Attempt
icon is
displayed while driving, this means that
the system is running a self-diagnosis

display persists, contact an authorized
dealer.
Note:
Do not tamper with the Engine
Immobilizer system. Any modifications
or alterations could cause the
protection function to be deactivated.
The Engine Immobilizer system is
not compatible with certain aftermarket
remote starting systems. The use of
these devices could cause problems
when starting, as well as the
deactivation of the protection function.
All keys provided with the vehicle
have been programmed in accordance
with the electronics on the vehicle
itself.
Each key has its own code which
must be stored by the system's control
unit. Contact an authorized dealer to
have new keys (up to eight) stored with
a code.
