system consists of a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) key fob
with an ignition switch.
Key Fob
The key fob allows you to lock or unlock the doors and
liftgate from distances up to approximately 66 ft (20 m)
using a handheld key fob. The key fob does not need to be
pointed at the vehicle to activate the system.
NOTE:In the ON/RUN position, the lock button is dis-
abled. Only the unlock button is enabled.
To Unlock The Doors And Swing Gate
Push and release the key fob unlock button once to unlock
the driver’s door only, or twice to unlock all the doors and

Illuminated Entry will initiate, and the turn signal lights
will flash twice.
To Lock The Doors And Swing Gate
Push and release the lock button on the key fob to lock all
doors. The turn signals will flash, and the horn will chirp
