GENERAL INFORMATION ON
RADIO FREQUENCIES
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules and with Licence exempt RSS
Standards of Industry Canada. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
•
This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
• This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation. WARNING: Changes or modifications
not expressively approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
The term "IC:" before the radio certification
number only signifies that Industry Canada
technical specifications were met. The typical operating range for your
transmitter is approximately 33 ft (10 m).
Vehicles with the remote start feature will
have a greater range. One of the following
could cause a decrease in operating range:
• weather conditions
• nearby radio towers
• structures around the vehicle
• other vehicles parked next to your
vehicle
Other short-distance radio transmitters, such
as amateur radios, medical equipment,
wireless headphones, remote controls and
alarm systems may operate on the same
frequency as your remote control. If other
transmitters are operating on those
frequencies, you may not be able to use your
remote control. Using your remote control
near some types of electronic equipment,
such as USB devices, computers or cell
phones can interfere with remote operation.
Operating your remote control near metal or
metallic-finished purses, bags or clothing can
interfere with remote operation. You can lock
and unlock the doors with the key. Note:
Make sure to lock your vehicle before
leaving it unattended.
Note: If you are in range, the remote control
will operate if you press any button
unintentionally.
Intelligent Access
The system uses a radio frequency signal to
communicate with your vehicle and authorize
your vehicle to unlock when one of the
following conditions are met:
• You touch the inside of any exterior door
handle within
3 ft (1 m) proximity of an
intelligent access key.
• You press the luggage compartment
button.
• You press a button on the transmitter.
If excessive radio frequency interference is
present in the area or if the transmitter
battery is low, you may need to mechanically
unlock your door. You can use the
mechanical key blade in your intelligent
access key to open the driver door in this
situation.
See Remote Control (page 64).

the ignition is off. Press the button to sound the
panic alarm. Press the button
again or switch the ignition on to
turn it off. Remote Start WARNING: To avoid exhaust fumes,

ventilated.
Note: Do not use remote start if your fuel
level is low. The remote start button is on the
transmitter.
This feature allows you to start your vehicle
from the outside. The transmitter has an
extended operating range.
You can configure your automatic climate
control to operate when you remote start
your vehicle.
See Climate Control (page
143).
Many states and provinces have restrictions
for the use of remote start. Check your local
and state or provincial laws for specific
requirements regarding remote start
systems. The remote start system does not work if any
of the following occur:
•
The ignition is on.
• The anti-theft alarm triggers.
• You switch the feature off in the
information display.
• The hood is open.
• The transmission is not in park (P).

Unlocking the Driver Door with the Key
Blade
If your vehicle has no power and the backup
power system is turned off, you can manually
unlock the driver door using a key in the
position shown. 1. Remove the key blade from the
transmitter.
2. Insert the key blade into the lock cylinder.
3. Turn the key clockwise to unlock the driver door.
Note: All other doors remain locked. Smart Unlocks for Intelligent Access
Keys
This feature helps to prevent you from
locking your intelligent access key inside
your vehicle
’s passenger compartment or
rear cargo area.
When you electronically lock your vehicle
with any door open, the transmission is in
park (P) and the ignition is off, the system
searches for an intelligent access key inside
your vehicle after you close the last door. If
the system finds a key, all of the doors will
immediately unlock and the horn will sound
twice, indicating that a key is inside.
You can override the smart unlock feature
and intentionally lock the intelligent access
key inside your vehicle.
To do this, lock your vehicle after you have
closed all the doors by:
• Using the keyless entry keypad.
• Pressing the lock button on another
intelligent access key.
• Touching the locking sensor on the door
window trim with another intelligent
access key in your hand.

Stopping the Decklid Movement
Note:
Do not apply sudden excessive force
to the decklid while it is in motion. This could
damage the power decklid and its
components.
You can stop the decklid movement by doing
any of the following:
• Pressing the decklid control button.
• Pressing the remote control button twice.
• Pressing the button on the instrument
panel.
• Moving your foot under and away from
the center rear bumper in a single-kick
motion. *
* This method only works for vehicles with the
hands-free decklid feature.
Resetting the Power Decklid
The decklid may not operate correctly and
you may need to reset it if:
• The vehicle battery charge is low.
• You disconnect the battery.
• You manually close the decklid and leave
it unlatched. 1. Disconnect the battery for 20 seconds
then reconnect the battery.
2. Manually close the decklid making sure it is fully closed.
3. Power open the decklid using the remote
control or instrument panel button.
Obstacle Detection
When Closing
The system stops when it detects an
obstacle. A tone sounds and the system
reverses to open. Once you remove the
obstacle, you can power close the decklid.
Note: Entering your vehicle while the decklid
is closing can cause your vehicle to bounce
and activate obstacle detection. To prevent
this, let the power decklid close completely
before you enter your vehicle. Before driving
your vehicle, check the instrument cluster
for a trunk ajar or door ajar message or
warning indicator. Failure to do this could
result in unintentionally leaving the decklid
open while driving. When Opening
The system stops when it detects an
obstacle and a tone sounds. Once you
remove the obstacle, you can continue to
operate the decklid.
Hands-Free Feature (If Equipped)
The intelligent access key must be within 3 ft
(1 m)
of the decklid.
