In this section, you will find important information
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 performance.
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

VEHICLE SECURITY
SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security system monitors the vehicle
doors, hood, trunk, and the keyless push button
ignition for unauthorized operation. It also
monitors movement inside the passenger
compartment (volumetric protection — if
equipped), cutting of battery cables, and
unexpected lifting/tilting of the vehicle (anti-lift
protection — if equipped).
While the Vehicle Security system is armed,
interior switches for door locks and trunk release
are disabled.
If something triggers the alarm, the Vehicle
Security system will provide the following audible
and visible signals:
The horn will pulse
The turn signals will flash
The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument
cluster will flash

NOTE:
The Vehicle Security system is activated by the
Engine Immobilizer system, which is automati-
cally activated when you get out of the vehicle
with the key fob and lock the doors.
TO ARM THE SYSTEM
Follow these steps to arm the Vehicle Security
system:
1. Make sure the vehicle’s ignition is placed in the OFF position. 2. Perform one of the following methods to lock
the vehicle:
• Push the lock button on the interior power
door lock switch with the driver and/orpassenger door open.
• Push the lock button on the exterior
Passive Entry door handle with a valid keyfob available in the same exterior zone

Ú
page 26.
• Push the lock button on the key fob.
3. If any doors (or trunk lid) are open, close them.
TO DISARM THE SYSTEM
The Vehicle Security system can be disarmed
using any of the following methods:
Push the unlock button on the key fob.
Grab the Passive Entry door handle to unlock
the door
Ú
page 26.
Cycle the ignition out of the OFF position to
disarm the system.

NOTE:

The driver's door key cylinder and trunk button
on the key fob cannot arm or disarm the
Vehicle Security system. Use of the door key
cylinder when the system is armed will sound
the alarm when the door is opened.
When the Vehicle Security system is armed,
the interior power door lock switches will not
unlock the doors. The Vehicle Security system is designed to
protect your vehicle. However, you can create
conditions where the system will give you a false
alarm. If one of the previously described arming
sequences has occurred, the Vehicle Security
system 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 system.
If the Vehicle Security system is armed and the
battery becomes disconnected, the Vehicle
Security system will remain armed when the
battery is reconnected; the exterior lights will
flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs,
disarm the Vehicle Security system.

NOTE:
The alarm does not disarm when the doors are
unlocked by inserting the blade of the emergency
key (found inside the key fob) into the door
handle lock cylinder.

Proceed in one of the following ways to realign
the door lock device (only when the battery
charge has been restored):
Push the lock button on the key fob
Push the unlock button on the door panel
Unlock the driver’s door lock cylinder with the
emergency key
Operate the internal door handle

NOTE:

realign the lock release device. To open the door,
the outside handle must be used. The door
central locking/unlocking buttons are not deacti-
vated when the emergency lock is engaged.
PASSIVE ENTRY SYSTEM
The Passive Entry system is an enhancement to
the vehicle’s key fob. This feature allows you to
lock and unlock the vehicle’s door(s) and trunk lid
without having to push the key fob lock or unlock
buttons.

NOTE:

Passive Entry may be programmed on/off
through the radio screen. Refer to the
Information and Entertainment System
Owner’s Manual Supplement for Passive Entry
settings.
The key fob may not be detected by the vehicle
Passive Entry 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 Passive Entry
system from locking/unlocking the vehicle.
If wearing gloves, or if it has been raining/
snowing on the Passive Entry door handle, the
unlock sensitivity can be affected, resulting in
a slower response time.
If the vehicle is unlocked by Passive Entry and
no door is opened within 60 seconds, the
vehicle will relock and (if equipped) will arm
the Vehicle Security system.
To Unlock From The Driver Or Passenger Side
With a valid Passive Entry key fob close to the
door handle, grab the handle to unlock the
vehicle. Grabbing the driver’s door handle will
unlock the driver door automatically. Grabbing
the passenger door handle will unlock all doors
and the trunk lid automatically.

Either the driver door only or all doors will
unlock when you grab hold of the front driver’s
door handle, depending on the selected
setting in the radio. Refer to the Information and Entertainment System Owner’s Manual
Supplement for Passive Entry settings.
All doors will unlock when the front passenger
door handle is grabbed regardless of the
driver’s door unlock preference setting.
Exterior Trunk Lid Release Switch (Vehicles With Passive Entry)
Frequency Operated Button Integrated Key
(FOBIK-Safe)
To minimize the possibility of unintentionally
locking a Passive Entry key fob inside your
vehicle, the Passive Entry system is equipped
with an automatic door unlock feature which will
function if the ignition switch is in the OFF
position.
The vehicle will not unlock the doors if an
unauthorized key fob has been detected close to
the outside of the vehicle.
If the Passive Entry function is disabled through
the radio screen, the protections to avoid

Split Folding Rear Seat
The rear seatbacks can be folded forward to
provide an additional storage area.
Extending the right side of the trunk allows you to
carry two passengers on the left part of the rear
seat, while extending the left side allows you to
carry one passenger.
Center Backrest Section Tilting
The center backrest can be tilted forward for a
“Ski Pass-Through” feature from the trunk.
Before tilting the backrest, make sure that the
rear center seat belt is not fastened and that
there are not any objects in the middle part of the
cushion.
Using the release strap, release the center part of
the backrest from its housing and tilt it using the
head restraint.Center Backrest Section Tilting Center Backrest Section Repositioning
Using the head restraint, lift the center portion
upwards, accompanying it during its movement,
and lightly push to make sure that it is properly
attached. Make sure that the armrest is properly
attached by attempting to move it. If it is not
attached, repeat the operation.
To Lower Rear Seat
Either side of the rear seat can be lowered to
allow for extended cargo space and still maintain
some rear seating room.

NOTE:
Be sure that the front seats are fully upright and
positioned forward. This will allow the rear seat
-
back to fold down easily.
1. Completely lower the rear seat head
restraints

Ú
page 35.
2. Place the seat belt so that it doesn't impede the movement of the backrest while tilting it.
3. From inside the luggage compartment, operate lever 1 to tilt the left part or lever 2 to
tilt the right part of the backrest: it will auto -
matically tilt forward. If necessary, assist the
backrest during the initial stage of tilting. Seat Release Levers
NOTE:
You may experience deformation in the seat
cushion from the seat belt buckles if the seats
are left folded for an extended period of time.
This is normal and by simply unfolding the seats
to the open position, over time the seat cushion
will return to its normal shape.
To Raise Rear Seat
Raise the rear seatback and lock it into place. If
interference from the cargo area prevents the
seatback from fully locking, you will have difficulty
returning the seat to its proper position.

NOTE:
Make sure the seat belts are in the front of the
seatback, and that they are not twisted, or
trapped behind the seatbacks.
