KEYS
Key Fob
Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system. The
ignition system consists of a key fob with Re-
mote Keyless Entry (RKE) and a START/STOP
push button ignition system. The Remote Key-
less Entry system consists of a key fob and
Keyless Enter-N-Go feature if equipped.
NOTE:
The key fob may not be found if it is located next
to a mobile phone, laptop or other electronic
device; these devices may block the key fob’s
wireless signal.
The key fob allows you to lock or unlock the
doors and liftgate from distances up to approxi-
mately 66 ft (20 m) using a handheld key fob.
The key fob does not need to be pointed at the
vehicle to activate the system.
The key fob also includes an emergency key,
which stores in the rear of the key fob.
The emergency key allows for entry into the
vehicle should the battery in the vehicle or the
key fob go dead. The emergency key is also for
locking the glove compartment. You can keep
the emergency key with you when valet parking.
To remove the emergency key, slide the me-
chanical latch at the top of the key fob sideways
with your thumb and then pull the key out with
your other hand.
NOTE:
You can insert the double-sided emergency key
into the lock cylinders with either side up.
To Unlock The Doors And Liftgate
Push and release the unlock button on the key
fob once to unlock the driver’s door or twice
within five seconds to unlock all doors and the
liftgate.
All doors can be programmed to unlock on the
first push of the unlock button. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further
information.
The turn signal lights will flash to acknowledge
the unlock signal. The illuminated entry system
will be activated.
