A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS
Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system.
This system consists of a Key Fob with Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and a Keyless
Ignition Node (KIN).
Keyless Enter-N-Go™ Feature
This vehicle is equipped with the Keyless Enter-
N-Go™ feature, (refer to
"
Keyless Enter-N-
Go™
"
in
"
Things To Know Before Starting Your
Vehicle
"
for further information).
Keyless Ignition Node (KIN)
This feature allows the driver to operate the
ignition switch with the push of a button, as long
as the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
is in the passenger compartment.
The Keyless Ignition Node (KIN) has four oper-
ating positions, three of which are labeled and
will illuminate when in position. The three posi-
tions are OFF, ACC, and ON/RUN. The fourth
position is START, during start RUN will illumi-
nate.
NOTE:
In case the ignition switch does not change
with the push of a button, the RKE transmit-
ter (Key Fob) may have a low or dead bat-
tery. In this situation a back up method can
be used to operate the ignition switch. Put
the nose side (side opposite of the emer-
gency key) of the Key Fob against the EN-
GINE START/STOP button and push to oper-
ate the ignition switch.
Key Fob
The Key Fob operates the ignition switch. Insert
the square end of the key fob into the ignition
switch located on the instrument panel and
rotate to the desired position. It also contains
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
and an emergency key, which stores in the rear
of the Key Fob.
The emergency key allows for entry into the
vehicle on the driver’s side should the battery in
the vehicle or the RKE transmitter go dead. The
emergency key is also for locking the glove box.
You can keep the emergency key with you when
valet parking.
NOTE:
Entering a vehicle using the emergency key
with the security alarm armed, will result in
the alarm sounding. Insert the Key Fob
(even if the Key Fob battery is dead) into the
ignition switch to disarm security alarm.
To remove the emergency key, slide the me-
chanical latch at the top of the Key Fob side-
ways with your thumb and then pull the key out
with your other hand.
