KEYLESS IGNITION
The wireless key fob allows access to vehicle operation. Read the Starting the
Engine section for details.
STARTING KEY FOB OPERATION:
When the electrical system is activated by the engine start/stop button, the key
fob must be within range. If the key fob is not detected, the security light will
flash. The electrical system will automatically shut down.
The starter motor will not engage during this time. If a key fob is not available, a
passcode can be entered using the Ride Command display (or the instrument
cluster, if vehicle not equipped with Ride Command). See the Security System
section for details.
DRIVING KEY FOB OPERATION:
After pushing the engine start/stop button, the Vehicle Control Module (VCM) will
verify that the key fob is within range. The VCM will not search for the key fob
again until after the ignition is turned off and then back on again.
NOTICE
If the key fob is lost while operating the vehicle, a passcode will be needed
once engine restart is needed.
KEY FOB STORAGE:
The key fob should not be stored near devices that can cause interference, such
as radio waves, such as cell phones, power supplies, or magnets, during
operation.
IMPORTANT
The vehicle’s key fob will become inactive if a period of 7 days has elapsed
since last startup.
For AutoDrive Transmission vehicles: Pressing the start button and/or the
brake pedal will reestablish connection between the Vehicle Control Module
(VCM) and the key fob.
For Manual Transmission vehicles: Pressing the start button and/or the clutch
pedal will reestablish connection between the Vehicle Control Module (VCM)
and the key fob.
While the connection is inactive, functions that involve the key fob, such as
arming the alarm system, will not be available until after vehicle startup.
