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 the instrument
cluster, which will display directions to follow.
NOTE:
A low key fob battery condition may be indi
-
cated by a message in the instrument cluster
display, or by the LED light on the key fob. If
the LED key fob light no longer illuminates
from key fob button pushes, then the key fob
battery requires replacement.
The key fob LED light brightness is designed
for indoor light viewing, so the LED light may
not be visible in direct sunlight. In a situation where the battery is low or fully
depleted, a back up method can be used to
operate the ignition switch. Put the nose side of
the key fob (side opposite of the Emergency
Key) against the START/STOP ignition button
and push to operate the ignition switch.

Backup Starting Method
NOTE:
The key fob may not be able to be detected by
the vehicle keyless-go 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 and prevent the keyless-go
system from starting the vehicle.
NOTE:
For further information, refer to "Starting The
Engine" in "Starting And Operating."
REMOTE STARTING SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
If applicable, refer to the “Hybrid Supplement”
for additional information.
This system uses the key fob to start the
engine conveniently from outside the
vehicle while still maintaining security.
The system has a range of 328 ft (100 m).

WARNING!
When leaving the vehicle, always remove
the key fob from the vehicle and lock your
vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unat -
tended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously
or fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to chil-
dren, and do not leave the ignition of a
vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go
in the RUN mode. A child could operate
power windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior
heat build-up may cause serious injury or
death.
CAUTION!
An unlocked car is an invitation. Always
remove the key fobs from the vehicle and lock
all doors when leaving the vehicle
unattended.

NOTE:
If either light remains on and does not flash, or
there is a very fast flash rate, check for a defec -
tive outside light bulb. If an indicator fails to
light when the lever is moved, it would suggest
that the indicator bulb is defective.
Turn Signal Warning
If the vehicle electronics sense that the vehicle
has traveled for about 1 mile (1.6 km) with the
turn signals on, a chime will sound and a
message will display in the cluster to alert the
driver.
Lane Change Assist — If Equipped
Tap the multifunction lever up or down once,
without moving beyond the detent, and the turn
signal (right or left) will flash three times then
automatically turn off.
Battery Protection
This feature provides battery protection to avoid
wearing down the battery if the headlights or
parking lights are left on for extended periods of
time when the ignition is in the OFF position.
After eight minutes of the ignition being in the OFF position and the headlight switch in any
position other than OFF or AUTO, the lights will
turn off automatically until the next cycle of the
ignition or headlight switch.
The battery protection feature will be disabled if
the ignition is placed in any position other than
OFF during the eight minute delay.
INTERIOR LIGHTS
Courtesy/Interior Lighting
The courtesy light switches are used to turn the
courtesy lights on/off.

Courtesy Light Switches
To operate the courtesy lights, push either the
driver or passenger light switch.
NOTE:
Before exiting the vehicle, make sure that the
interior lights are turned off. This will prevent
the battery from discharging once the doors
are closed.
If a light is left on, it will automatically be
turned off approximately 10 minutes after
the ignition is in the STOP/OFF position.
Rear Courtesy/Reading Lights — If Equipped
Located above the rear passengers are
courtesy/reading lights. The lights turn on when
a front door, a sliding door or the liftgate is
opened. If your vehicle is equipped with Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) the lights will also turn on
when the unlock button on the key fob is
pushed.
