system consists of a key fob with Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) and a START/STOP push button ignition system.
The Remote Keyless Entry system consists of a key fob and
Keyless Enter-N-Go feature.

a mobile phone, laptop or other electronic device; these
devices may block the key fob’s wireless signal.

activate the Panic Alarm from distances up to approxi-
mately 66 ft (20 m) using a handheld key fob. The key fob
does not need to be pointed at the vehicle to activate the
