Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB [Citizen Band] radios, amateur radio, etc.) cannot be used inside the vehicle unless a
separate antenna is mounted externally.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
In this section, you will find important informa-
tion to help you become familiar with the
features needed to operate your vehicle, and
how they function.
KEYS
Key Fob
Your vehicle is equipped with a key fob which
supports Passive Entry, Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE), Remote Start (if equipped), and remote
trunk operation. The key fob allows you to lock
or unlock the doors and trunk lid. The key fob
does not need to be pointed at the vehicle to
activate the system. The key fob also contains
an emergency key, which is stored inside the
key fob.

NOTE:

The key fob’s wireless signal may be
blocked if the key fob is located next to a
mobile phone, laptop, or other electronic
device. This may result in poor perfor -
mance.
With ignition in the ON position and the
vehicle moving at 2 mph (4 km/h), all RKE commands are disabled. 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 direc -
tions to follow

To Lock/Unlock The Doors And Trunk
Push and release the unlock button on the key
fob once to unlock the driver’s door, or twice
within five seconds to unlock all the doors and
the trunk lid. To lock all the doors and the
trunk lid, push the lock button once. If the
trunk lid is open when the lock button is
pushed, the trunk lid will lock when it is closed. The current unlock setting can be changed
through the radio system menu, so that the
system unlocks:
All doors on the first push of the key fob
unlock button.
The driver door on the first push of the key
fob unlock button.
When the doors are locked/unlocked, the turn
signals will flash and the illuminated entry

button is pushed, or the trunk lid is open, the
doors will lock. The doors will unlock again
automatically if the key is left inside the
passenger compartment, otherwise the doors
will stay locked.
