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 Wireless
Ignition Node (WIN) with integral ignition switch.
You can insert the Key Fob into the ignition
switch with either side up.
Keyless Enter-N-Go™ Feature
If this vehicle is equipped with the Keyless
Enter-N-Go™ feature, refer to “Starting Proce-
dures” in “Starting And Operating” for further
information.
Wireless Ignition Node (WIN)
The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) operates
similar to an ignition switch. It has four operating
positions, three of which are detented and one
spring-loaded. The detented positions are OFF,
ACC, and ON/RUN. The START position is a
spring-loaded
momentary contact position.
When released from the START position, the
switch automatically returns to the detented
ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
With the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ feature, the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
will display the ignition switch position
(OFF/ACC/RUN). Refer to “Electronic Ve-
hicle Information Center (EVIC)” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for further
information. 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.
