KEYS
Key Fob
Key FobYour vehicle uses a keyless ignition system.
The ignition system consists of a key fob with
Keyless Go and a START/STOP push button
ignition system. The Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) system consists of a key fob with a
mechanical key and Keyless Enter-N-Go
feature (if equipped).
NOTE:
The key fob may not be detected by the
vehicle 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 swing gate from distances up to
approximately 66 ft (20 m). The key fob
does not need to be pointed at the vehicle to
activate the system. NOTE:
With the ignition in the ON/RUN position
and with the vehicle doors open, the lock
button will be disabled, and only the unlock
button will be enabled. All RKE commands
will be disabled once the vehicle begins
moving at 2 mph (4 km/h) or above.
Backup Mode Starting
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.
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.

To Disarm The System
The vehicle security alarm can be disarmed
using any of the following methods:
Push the unlock button on the key fob.
Grasp the Passive Entry Unlock Door
Handle. Refer to "Keyless Enter-N-Go" in
“Doors” in this chapter for further infor-
mation.
Cycle the vehicle ignition system out of
the OFF position by pushing the Keyless
Enter-N-Go START/STOP ignition button
(requires at least one valid key fob in the
vehicle).
NOTE:
The driver's door key cylinder and the lift -
gate button on the key fob cannot arm or
disarm the vehicle security alarm.
The vehicle security alarm remains armed
during power liftgate entry. Pushing the
liftgate button will not disarm the vehicle
security alarm. If someone enters the
vehicle through the liftgate and opens any
door the alarm will sound.
When the vehicle security alarm is armed,
the interior power door lock switches will
not unlock the doors.
The ultrasonic intrusion sensor (motion
detector) actively monitors your vehicle
every time you arm the security system. If
you prefer, you can turn off the ultrasonic
intrusion sensor when arming the security
system. To do so, push the lock button on
the key fob three times within 15 seconds
of arming the system (while the vehicle
security light is flashing rapidly).
The vehicle security alarm is designed to
protect your vehicle; however, you can avoid
conditions where the system may give you a
nuisance alarm. Conditions include any
person, or pet, left inside the vehicle or
hanging items that may sway (e.g. from rear
view mirrors, visors, etc). Windows and roof
panels should be closed to prevent wind,
leaves, and other debris from blowing into
the vehicle. Items left in the vehicle that may
shift over a period of time (e.g. plastic bags,
clothes, or groceries), could result in a
nuisance alarm. Additionally, extreme environmental condi
-
tions (wind, rain, hail, thunder, etc.), or
extreme noise (audio systems, traffic condi -
tions, trains, etc.), or direct impacts to the
vehicle may result in a nuisance alarming
condition.
If one of the previously described arming
sequences has occurred, the vehicle security
alarm will arm regardless of whether you are
in the vehicle or not. If you remain in the
vehicle and open a door, the alarm will
sound. If this occurs, disarm the vehicle
security alarm.
If the vehicle security alarm is armed and the
battery becomes disconnected, the vehicle
security alarm will remain armed when the
battery is reconnected; the exterior lights will
flash, the horn will sound. If this occurs,
disarm the vehicle security alarm.
Security System Manual Override
The system will not arm if you lock the doors
using the manual door lock.

off the engine, the vehicle may AutoPark.
AutoPark will engage when all of these
conditions are met:
Vehicle is equipped with an 8-speed trans-
mission
Driver’s door is ajar or in conditions where
driver door is removed an additional
trigger would be if the driver is off the seat
(seat pad sensor detects driver missing).
Vehicle is not in PARK
Vehicle speed is 0 mph (0 km/h)
Ignition switched from RUN to OFF
NOTE:
For Keyless Enter-N-Go equipped vehicles,
The engine will turn off and the ignition
switch will change to ACC mode. After
30 minutes the ignition switches to OFF
automatically, unless the driver turns the
ignition switch OFF.
WARNING!
Driver inattention could lead to failure to
place the vehicle in PARK. ALWAYS DO
A VISUAL CHECK that your vehicle is in
PARK by verifying that a solid (not
blinking) “P” is indicated in the instru -
ment cluster display and on the gear
selector. If the "P" indicator is blinking,
your vehicle is not in PARK. As an added
precaution, always apply the parking
brake when exiting the vehicle.
AutoPark is a supplemental feature. It is
not designed to replace the need to shift
your vehicle into PARK. It is a back up
system and should not be relied upon as
the primary method by which the driver
shifts the vehicle into PARK.
