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 
liftgate operation. The key fob allows you to lock 
or unlock the doors and liftgate. 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 
or fully depleted battery. A low key fob battery can 
be verified by referring to the instrument cluster, 
which will display directions to follow  
Ú
page 247.
To Lock/Unlock The Doors And Liftgate
Push and release the unlock button on the key 
fob once to unlock the driver’s door or twice 
within one second to unlock all doors and the 
liftgate. To lock all the doors and the liftgate, push 
the lock button once.
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.
The liftgate "independently" or "with doors". When the doors are locked/unlocked, the turn 
signals will flash and the illuminated entry system 
will be activated.
NOTE:
If one or more doors are open when the lock 
button is pushed, or the liftgate is open, the doors 
will lock. The doors will unlock again automati
-
cally if the key fob is left inside the passenger 
compartment, otherwise the doors will stay 
locked.
Flashing of the turn signals upon locking/
unlocking the doors, and activation of the 
courtesy light upon unlocking the doors, can be 
activated or deactivated through the radio 
system. For further information, refer to the 
Information and Entertainment System Owner’s 
Manual Supplement.
Opening The Liftgate
Rapidly push the button on the key fob twice to 
open the liftgate. The turn signals will flash to 
indicate that the liftgate has been opened.
Key Left Vehicle Feature — If Equipped
If a valid key fob is no longer detected inside the 
vehicle while the vehicle’s ignition system is in the 
ON/RUN or START position, the message “Key 
Fob Has Left The Vehicle” will be shown in the 
instrument cluster display along with an interior 
chime. An exterior audible and visual alert will 
also be activated to warn the driver.
The vehicle’s horn will rapidly chirp three times 
along with a single flash of the vehicle’s exterior 
lights.

VEHICLE SECURITY 
SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security system monitors the vehicle 
doors, hood, liftgate, 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 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 liftgate) 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 liftgate 
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.
