If the Vehicle Security Light turns on during normal 
vehicle operation (vehicle running for longer than 
10 seconds), it indicates that there is a fault in the 
electronics. Should this occur, have the vehicle 
serviced as soon as possible by an authorized 
dealer.
All of the key fobs provided with your new vehicle 
have been programmed to the vehicle electronics  
Ú page 370.

reduce this range  Ú page 370.
WARNING!
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the 
key fob from the vehicle and lock your vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with 
access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended 
is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child 
or others could be seriously or fatally injured. 
Children should be warned not to touch the 
parking brake, brake pedal or the gear 
selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, 
or in a location accessible to children, and do 
not leave the Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ Ignition in 
the ON/RUN position. A child could operate 
power windows, other controls, or move

vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat buildup 
may cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
An unlocked car is an invitation. Always remove 
the key fobs from the vehicle and lock all doors 
when leaving the vehicle unattended.
WARNING!
WARNING!
Do not start or run an engine in a closed 
garage or confined area. Exhaust gas contains 
Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and 
colorless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous and 
can cause serious injury or death when 
inhaled.
Keep key fobs away from children. Operation 
of the Remote Start system, windows, door 
locks or other controls could cause serious 
injury or death.
