rotated while the vehicle is
running, the ignition could be
moved out of the RUN position.
This could be caused by heavy
items hanging from the key ring,
or by large or long items attached

deploy. To reduce the risk of
unintentional rotation of the
ignition key, do not change the
way the ignition key and Remote

if equipped, are connected to the
provided key rings.
If the vehicle is equipped with a
keyed ignition, the ignition key, key

together. As a system, it reduces
the risk of unintentionally moving
the key out of the RUN position.

or small, light items no larger than
an RKE transmitter.
Interference from radio-frequency
identification (RFID) tags may
prevent the key from starting the
vehicle. Keep RFID tags away from
the key when starting the vehicle.
