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.

2. Turn the manual release lock cylinder clock-
wise for the right door locks or counterclock -
wise for the left door locks.
3. Remove the key/screwdriver from the  manual release lock.
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 with the 
emergency key
Operate the internal door handle
NOTE:
For the rear doors, if the Child Safety Locks are 
engaged, and the previously described locking 
procedure is carried out, operating the internal 
handle will not open the door. Instead, it will only 
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 liftgate 
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 able to 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 liftgate automatically.

NOTE:
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.External Liftgate Release Button(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.

In automatic operation, air recirculation will be 
controlled by the system according to outside 
environmental conditions.
NOTE:
With the AQS function active and after the 
internal air recirculation system has been 
functioning for a set amount of time, the 
Climate Control System enables air intake to 
cycle the air in the passenger compartment for 
a set time. The AQS function is disabled during 
the air changes.
The engagement of the recirculation system 
makes it possible to reach the required heating 
or cooling conditions faster. It is, however, 
inadvisable to use it on rainy/cold days as it 
can increase the possibility of the windows 
fogging. When the outside temperature is low, 
recirculation is forced off to prevent the 
windows from fogging up.
Front Defrost Air comes from the windshield and side 
window demist outlets. Use Defrost 
mode with maximum temperature 
settings for best windshield and side 
window defrosting and defogging.
Rear Defrost

and current air distribution setting
NOTE:
The MAX-DEF function remains active for approx -
imately three minutes once the engine coolant 
reaches the proper temperature.
When the function is on, AUTO mode will 
deactivate. The only manual operations possible 
are adjusting blower speed and turning off the 
Rear Window Defrost.
Pushing the Air Recirculation   button switches 
off the MAX-DEF function.
Air Temperature Adjustment

Knob to cancel the SYNC function. This will set a 
new passenger side temperature.
Rotate the Temperature Adjustment Knob fully 
clockwise to engage the HI (maximum heating) 
setting or fully counterclockwise to engage the LO 
(maximum cooling) setting. To deactivate these 
functions, rotate the Temperature Adjustment 
Knob to the desired temperature.
Rear passengers’ temperature is linked to driver 
side selection.
AUTO Button
When the AUTO button is pushed (indicator 
illuminated), the Climate Control system automat
-
ically adjusts the following settings:
Quantity and distribution of air flow in the 
passenger compartment
The air conditioner
Air recirculation
Cancels any manual settings

WARNING LIGHTS AND 
MESSAGES ON THE 
INSTRUMENT PANEL
The following pages consist of warning lights and 
messages.
NOTE:
The warning light turns on together with a 
dedicated message and/or chime when 
applicable. These indications are precau -
tionary and as such must not be considered as 
exhaustive and/or alternative to the 
information contained in the Owner’s Manual,  which you are advised to read carefully in all 
cases. Always refer to the information in this 
section in the event of a failure indication.
The failure indicators appearing on the display 
are divided into two categories: very serious 
and less serious faults. Serious faults are 
indicated by a repeated and prolonged 
warning cycle. Less serious faults are 
indicated by a warning cycle with a shorter 
duration. You can stop the warning cycle in 
both cases by pushing the button located on 
the windshield wiper stalk. The instrument 
panel warning light will stay on until the cause 
of the failure is eliminated.
RED WARNING LIGHTS
Air Bag Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate to 
indicate a fault with the air bag, and will 
turn on for four to eight seconds as a 
bulb check when the ignition is placed 
in the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/RUN position. This 
light will illuminate with a single chime when a 
fault with the air bag has been detected, it will 
stay on until the fault is cleared. If the light is 
either not on during startup, stays on, or turns on 
while driving, have the system inspected at an 
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Brake Warning Light 
This warning light monitors various 
brake functions, including brake fluid 
level and parking brake application. If 
the brake light turns on it may indicate 
that the parking brake is applied, that the brake 
fluid level is low, or that there is a problem with 
the Anti-Lock Brake System reservoir.

To Set A Desired Speed
To set a desired speed, proceed as follows:
1. Turn the Cruise Control on.
2. When the vehicle has reached the desiredspeed, push the SET switch up or down and
release to activate. When the accelerator is
released, the vehicle will maintain the
selected speed automatically.
SET Switch Location
If needed (when overtaking for instance), you can 
accelerate beyond the set speed by pressing the 
accelerator. When you release the pedal, the 
vehicle goes back to the previously set speed.
When traveling downhill with the system active, 
the vehicle speed may slightly exceed the set one.
NOTE:
Before pushing the SET switch, the vehicle must 
be traveling at a constant speed on a flat surface.
To Vary The Speed Setting
To Increase Or Decrease The Set Speed
When the Cruise Control is set, you can increase 
the speed by pushing the SET switch upward or 
decrease the speed by pushing the SET switch 
downward.
U.S. Speed (mph)
Pushing the SET switch once will result in a 
1 mph speed adjustment. Each subsequent 
movement of the switch results in an 
adjustment of 1 mph.
If the switch is continually pushed, the set 
speed will continue to adjust until the switch is 
released, then the new set speed will be 
established.
Metric Speed (km/h)
Pushing the SET switch once will result in a 
1 km/h speed adjustment. Each subsequent 
movement of the switch results in an 
adjustment of 1 km/h.
If the switch is continually pushed, the set 
speed will continue to adjust until the switch is 
released, then the new set speed will be 
established.
NOTE:
Moving the SET switch allows for adjusting of the 
speed according to the selected unit of measure -
ment set on the radio system. Refer to the Infor -
mation and Entertainment System Owner’s 
Manual for more information.
To Accelerate For Passing 
While the Cruise Control is set, press the 
accelerator to pass as you would normally. When 
the pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the 
set speed.
Using Cruise Control On Hills
The transmission may downshift on hills to 
maintain the vehicle set speed.
The Cruise Control system maintains speed up 
and down hills. A slight speed change on 
moderate hills is normal. On steep hills, a greater 
speed loss or gain may occur so it may be 
preferable to drive without Cruise Control.
To Resume Speed
To resume a previously set speed, push the RES 
button and release. Resume can be used at any 
speed above 20 mph (32 km/h).
NOTE:
Before returning to the previously set speed, you 
must accelerate to a speed close to the set 
speed, then push and release the RES button.
 WARNING!
Cruise Control can be dangerous where the 
system cannot maintain a constant speed. 
Your vehicle could go too fast for the 
conditions, and you could lose control and 
have an accident. Do not use Cruise Control in 
heavy traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, 
snow-covered or slippery.
