KEYS
Key Fob
Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system. The ignition
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 if equipped.
NOTE:The key fob may not be found if it is located next to
a mobile phone, laptop or other electronic device; these
devices may block the key fob’s wireless signal.
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) key fob and an emer-
gency 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. The
emergency key is also for locking the glove compartment.
You can keep the emergency key with you when valet
parking.
To remove the emergency key, slide the mechanical latch
on the back of the key fob sideways with your thumb and
then pull the key out with your other hand. NOTE:
You can insert the double-sided emergency key
into the lock cylinders with either side up.
The Remote Keyless Entry system allows you to lock or
unlock the doors, open the liftgate, or activate the Panic
Alarm from distances up to approximately 66 ft (20 m)
using a hand-held key fob with key fob. The key fob does
not need to be pointed at the vehicle to activate the system.
NOTE: Driving at speeds 5 MPH (8 km/h) and above
disables the system from responding to all key fob buttons
for all key fobs.
