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.
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 key fob allows you to lock or unlock all doors, as well as
activate the Panic Alarm 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, all key fob buttons will work
until the vehicle reaches 3 mph (5 km/h).
• The key fob should not be placed next to the wireless
charging pad (if equipped). Key Fob
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 fob battery can be verified by referring to
