supports Remote Keyless Entry (RKE). The key fob
allows you to lock or unlock the doors from
distances up to approximately 66 ft (20 m). The

to activate the system. The key fob also contains
an integrated mechanical key, which can be
accessed by pushing the mechanical key release
button.
NOTE:The key fob may not be able to 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
