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 by the RKE
system 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 the doors
and trunk from distances up to approximately
66 feet (20 m). The key fob does not need to be
pointed at the vehicle to activate the system.

NOTE:
In the ON/RUN position, key fob commands are
disabled if the vehicle is at or above 2 mph
(4 km/h).
Key Fob
The key fob also contains an emergency key,
which is stored in the rear of the key fob.

Emergency Key

The emergency key allows for entry into the
vehicle should the battery in the vehicle or the
key fob become depleted. The emergency key is
also for locking/unlocking the glove
compartment. You can keep the emergency key
with you when valet parking.
