Intelligent Access
WARNING:
Radio waves from the intelligent access system
transmitters in the vehicle may affect certain implanted medical
devices such as pacemakers or cardiac defibrillators. People having
such implanted medical devices should ask the medical device
manufacturer or their physician whether the intelligent access system
may affect the equipment before coming into close proximity with a
vehicle equipped with intelligent access. Failure to do so may result in
interference with the medical device, which could result in serious
injury.
Your intelligent access system uses a radio frequency (RF) signal to
communicate with your vehicle and authorize your vehicle to unlock
when commanded (either by pressing any keyless entry keypad button,
the power liftgate button, or a button on the transmitter itself). If
excessive RF interference is present in the area, or if your vehicle
battery is low, it may be necessary to mechanically unlock your door. The
mechanical key blade in your IA key can be used to open the driver’s
door in this situation (refer to
Intelligent access key
in this chapter for
more information on the location and use of the mechanical key blade).
Your vehicle will allow you to unlock and enter your vehicle without
actively using a key or transmitter. You can use the intelligent access
feature at the driver door or at the liftgate. You can activate the
intelligent access feature as long as you have one of your IA keys within
range of the driver door or the liftgate.
Activating intelligent access at the Driver’s Door:
If your IA key is
within 3 feet (1 meter) of the driver’s door, you can activate your
intelligent access system by pressing any button on the keyless entry
keypad. The driver’s door will automatically unlock and the door can be
opened.
(
Note:
If two stage unlocking is disabled, all doors will unlock when you
press any button on the keyless entry keypad).
Activating intelligent access at the liftgate:
If your IA key is within
3 feet (1 meter) of the liftgate, you can activate your intelligent access
system by pressing the exterior liftgate release button, hidden under the
trim above the license plate. The liftgate will release and open.
Push button start:
The push button start system allows you to start
your vehicle without using a key. Refer to
Push button start
in the
Driving
chapter.
