KEYS
Key Fob
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. The
key fob also contains an emergency key,
which is stored in the rear of the key fob.
CAUTION!
The electrical components inside of the
key fob may be damaged if the key fob is
subjected to strong electrical shocks. In
order to ensure complete efficiency of the
electronic devices inside of the key fob,
avoid exposing the key fob to direct sun-
light.
Your vehicle may be equipped with a keyless
ignition system. The ignition system consists
of a key fob with Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
and a START/STOP push button ignition sys-
tem. The Remote Keyless Entry system con-
sists 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 elec-
tronic device; these devices may block the
key fob’s wireless signal.

partment.
In case the ignition switch does not change
with the push of a button, the key fob may
have a low or fully depleted battery. A low key

tions to follow.In this situation, a back up method can be
used to operate the ignition switch. Put the
nose side (side opposite of the emergency
key) of the key fob against the ENGINE
START/STOP button and push to operate the
ignition switch.
NOTE:
Improper disposal of key fob batteries may be
harmful to the environment. Please see an
authorized dealer for proper battery disposal.

This engine meets all required diesel engine
emissions standards. To achieve these emis-
sions standards, your vehicle is equipped
with a state-of-the-art engine and exhaust
system. These systems are seamlessly inte-
grated into your vehicle and managed by the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM
manages engine combustion to allow the ex-
haust system’s catalyst to trap and burn Par-
ticulate Matter (PM) pollutants, with no input
or interaction on your part.
