KEYS
Key Fobs
Your vehicle uses either a wireless ignition
node system or keyless ignition system. The
ignition system consists of a key fob with a
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and an ignition
switch. The keyless ignition system consists
of a key fob and Keyless Enter-N-Go button.
NOTE:
The key fob may not be found if it is located
next to a mobile phone, laptop or other elec-
tronic device; these devices may block the
key fob’s wireless signal. The key fob operates the ignition switch.
Insert the square end of the key fob into the
ignition switch located on the instrument
panel and rotate to the desired position. It
also contains the key fob and an emergency
key, which stores in the rear of the key fob.
The emergency key allows for entry into the
vehicle should the battery in the vehicle or
the key fob go dead. You can keep the emer-
gency key with you when valet parking.
To remove the emergency key, slide the me-
chanical latch at the top of the key fob
sideways with your thumb and then pull the
key out with your other hand.
NOTE:
When using the emergency key to gain access
to your vehicle, be aware that the security
alarm may be triggered. Insert the key into
the ignition and place the ignition in the
ON/RUN mode to disarm the security system.
This Keyless Push Button Ignition key fob
allows the driver to operate the ignition
switch with the push of a button, as long as
the key fob is in the passenger compartment.

To Arm The System
Follow these steps to arm the vehicle security
alarm:
1. Remove the key from the ignition system(refer to "Starting The Engine" in "Starting
And Operating" for further information).
• For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go — Ignition, make sure the
vehicle ignition system is "OFF."
• For vehicles not equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go — Ignition, make sure the
vehicle ignition system is "OFF" and
the key is physically removed from the
ignition.
2. Perform one of the following methods to lock the vehicle:
• Push lock button on the interior power door lock switch with the driver and/or
passenger door open.
• Push the lock button on the exterior Passive Entry Door Handle with a valid
key fob available in the same exterior zone (refer to "Keyless Enter- N-Go —
Passive Entry" in "Getting To Know Your
Vehicle" for further information).
• Push the lock button on the key fob.
3. If any doors are open, close them.
The vehicle security alarm will set when you
use the power door locks, or use the key fob to
lock the doors. After all the doors are locked
and closed, the vehicle security light, in the
instrument panel cluster, will flash rapidly for
about 16 seconds to indicate that the alarm
is being set. After the alarm is set, the vehicle
security light will flash at a slower rate to
indicate that the system is armed.
To Disarm The System
The vehicle security alarm can be disarmed
using any of the following methods:
1. Push the unlock button on the key fob.
2. Grasp the Passive Entry Unlock Door Handle with a valid key fob within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the passive entry door handle.
If equipped, refer to "Keyless Enter-N-Go
— Passive Entry" in "Getting To Know Your
Vehicle" for further information. 3. Cycle the ignition out of the OFF position.
• For vehicles equipped with KeylessEnter-N-Go — Ignition, push the Key-
less Ignition START/STOP button (re-
quires at least one valid key fob in the
vehicle).
• For vehicles not equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go, insert a valid key into the
ignition switch and turn the key to the
ON position.
The vehicle security alarm is designed to
protect your vehicle. However, you can create
conditions where the system 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 theGETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age,
chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord in-
jury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus-
tion, or other physical conditions must
exercise care when using the steering
wheel heater. It may cause burns even at
low temperatures, especially if used for
long periods.
• Do not place anything on the steering
wheel that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or steering wheel covers of
any type and material. This may cause
the steering wheel heater to overheat.
DRIVER ADJUSTABLE PEDALS —
IF EQUIPPED
The adjustable pedals system is designed to
allow a greater range of driver comfort for
steering wheel tilt and seat position. This
feature allows the brake, accelerator, and clutch pedals (if equipped) to move toward or
away from the driver to provide improved
position with the steering wheel.
The adjustable pedal switch is located to the
left side of the steering column.
• The pedals can be adjusted with the igni-
tion OFF.
• The pedals cannotbe adjusted when the
vehicle is in REVERSE or when the Speed
Control System is on. The following mes-
sages will appear on vehicles equipped with
an instrument cluster display if the pedals
are attempted to be adjusted when the
system is locked out: “Adjustable Pedal
Disabled — Cruise Control Engaged” or
“Adjustable Pedal Disabled — Vehicle In
Reverse”.
NOTE:
• Always adjust the pedals to a position that allows full pedal travel.
• Further small adjustments may be neces- sary to find the best possible seat/pedal
position.

traveling at moderate speeds. If you at-
tempt to power fold the mirrors at high
speeds they may not fully open or close. You
should slow down to a moderate speed and
complete the operation.
• When pushing the power fold button 10 or more times in one minute the system shuts
down for one minute to protect the motors
from over heating.EXTERIOR LIGHTS
