14GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
The Panic feature will stay on for three minutes unless you
turn it off by either pushing the Panic button a second time
or driving the vehicle at a speed of 15 mph (24 km/h) or
greater.
NOTE:
The interior lights will turn off if you place the ignition in
the ON/RUN position while the Panic feature is
activated. However, the exterior lights and horn
(if equipped with horn alarm) will remain on.
 You may need to be closer than 66 ft (20 m) from the
vehicle when using the key fob to turn off the Panic
feature due to the radio frequency noises emitted by
the system.
Key Left Vehicle Feature
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
and an interior chime will sound. 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.
NOTE:
The doors have to be open and then closed in order for
the vehicle to detect a key fob. The Key Left Vehicle
feature will activate when the first door is closed and
no key fob is detected in the vehicle. If the warning has
been activated, and the other doors are closed, no
other warnings will be issued. 
These alerts will not be activated in situations where

REMOTE START — IF EQUIPPED
This system uses the key fob to start the engine
conveniently from outside the vehicle while still
maintaining security. The system has a range
of approximately 328 ft (100 m).
Remote Start is used to defrost windows in cold weather
and to reach a comfortable climate in all ambient
conditions before the customer enters the vehicle.
NOTE:Obstructions between the vehicle and key fob may reduce
this range Úpage 275.
HOW TO USE REMOTE START
Push and release the Remote Start button on the key fob
twice within five seconds. The vehicle doors will lock, the
parking lights will flash, and the horn will chirp twice (if
programmed). Then, the engine will start, and the vehicle
will remain in the Remote Start mode for a 15 minute
cycle. Pushing the Remote Start button a third time shuts
the engine off.
To drive the vehicle, push the unlock button and place the
ignition in the ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
 With Remote Start, the engine will only run for
15 minutes.
 Remote Start can only be used twice.
 If an engine fault is present or fuel level is low, the
vehicle will start and then shut down in 10 seconds.
 The parking lights will turn on and remain on during
Remote Start mode.
 For security, power window and power sunroof opera -
tion (if equipped) are disabled when the vehicle is in
the Remote Start mode.
 The ignition must be placed in the ON/RUN position
before the Remote Start sequence can be repeated for
a third cycle. All of the following conditions must be met before the

 Malfunction Indicator Light is not illuminatedWARNING!
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.

REMOTE START ABORT MESSAGE —
I
F EQUIPPED
One of the following messages will display in the
instrument cluster display if the vehicle fails to remote
start or exits Remote Start prematurely:
 Remote Start Aborted — Door Open
 Remote Start Aborted — Hood Open
 Remote Start Aborted — Fuel Low
 Remote Start Aborted — Liftgate Open
 Remote Start Aborted — Too Cold
 Remote Start Aborted — Time Expired
 Remote Start Disabled — Start Vehicle To Reset
The message will stay active until the ignition is placed in
the ON/RUN position.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security system monitors the vehicle doors,
hood, liftgate, and the Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ 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). If something triggers the system, the Vehicle Security
system will provide the following audible and visible
signals:

The horn will pulse
 The turn signals will flash
NOTE:
The Vehicle Security system is activated by the Engine
Immobilizer system, which is automatically activated
when you get out of the vehicle with the key fob and
lock the doors.
 The Vehicle Security system is factory adjusted to stan -
dards from different countries.
 The Vehicle Security system is a complementary secu -
rity system developed to hinder the occurrence of
vehicle theft and prevent vandalism. It does not
prevent the theft of your vehicle; the system is a deter -
rent.
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.

 For vehicles equipped with Keyless Entry, make
sure the vehicle’s keyless ignition system is OFF. 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/or passenger door
open.
 Push the lock button on the exterior Passive Entry
door handle with a valid key fob available in the
same exterior zone
Úpage 23.
 Push the lock button on the key fob.
3. If any doors (or liftgate) are open, close them.
When the Vehicle Security system is armed (except on
some versions for specific markets), the system will emit
an acoustic warning and a warning light (located next to
the interior door handle) will flash until it is disarmed.
NOTE:
 If there is a fault with the system, the system will emit
an acoustic signal a second time.
 If this occurs, wait about 4 seconds and switch off the
Vehicle Security system following this procedure:
a. Press the unlock button on the key fob.
b. Check that the doors, hood, and liftgate are closed, and then reactivate the system by pressing
the lock button.
 If the alarm emits a sound even when the doors, hood,
and liftgate are closed, there is a fault with the system.
Contact an authorized dealer for assistance.
 The vehicle doors can be locked without arming the
Vehicle Security system by using the emergency key in
the exterior door lock cylinder.

Non-Rolling Code Garage Door Opener Final Steps

1. Push and hold the programmed HomeLink® button
and observe the HomeLink® indicator light. If the
HomeLink® indicator light stays on constantly,
programming is complete.

2. Push the programmed HomeLink® button to confirm that the garage door opener motor operates. If the
garage door opener motor does not operate, repeat
the steps from the beginning.PROGRAMMING HOMELINK® TO A
M
ISCELLANEOUS DEVICE
The procedure on how to program HomeLink® to a
miscellaneous device follows the same procedure as
programming to a garage door opener
Úpage 130.
Be sure to determine if the device has a rolling code, or
non-rolling code before beginning the programming
process.
NOTE:Canadian Radio Frequency (RF) laws require transmitter
signals to time-out (or quit) after several seconds of trans -
mission, which may not be long enough for HomeLink® to
pick up the signal during programming. Similar to this
Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to
time-out in the same manner. The procedure may need to
be performed multiple times to successfully pair the
device to your HomeLink® buttons.
REPROGRAMMING A SINGLE
H
OMELINK® BUTTON
To reprogram a single HomeLink® button that has been
previously trained, without erasing all the channels,
proceed as follows. Be sure to determine whether the new
device you want to program the HomeLink® button to has
a rolling code, or non-rolling code.

1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position, without
starting the engine.
2. Push and hold the desired HomeLink® button until
the HomeLink® indicator light begins to flash after
20 seconds. Do not release the button.
3. Without releasing the button , proceed with Step 2 in
“Programming HomeLink® To A Garage Door
Opener” and follow all remaining steps.
CANADIAN/GATE OPERATOR
P
ROGRAMMING
For programming transmitters in Canada/United States
that require the transmitter signals to “time-out” after
several seconds of transmission:
Canadian Radio Frequency (RF) laws require transmitter
signals to time-out (or quit) after several seconds of
transmission, which may not be long enough for
HomeLink® to pick up the signal during programming.
Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are
designed to time-out in the same manner.
It may be helpful to unplug the device during the cycling
process to prevent possible overheating of the garage
door or gate motor.

1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.

NOTE:For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter ‘n Go™, place
the ignition in the RUN position. Make sure while
programming HomeLink® with the engine on that your
vehicle is outside of your garage, or that the garage door
remains open at all times.
WARNING!
 Your motorized door or gate will open and close while
you are programming the universal transmitter. Do
not program the transmitter if people or pets are in
the path of the door or gate.
 Do not run your vehicle in a closed garage or
confined area while programming the transmitter.
Exhaust gas from your vehicle contains carbon
monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless.
Carbon monoxide is poisonous when inhaled and
can cause you and others to be severely injured
or killed.
