KEYS
Key Fobs
Your vehicle uses either a wireless ignition node system or
keyless ignition system. The ignition system consists of a
key fob with a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and an ignition
switch. The keyless ignition system consists of a key fob
and Keyless Enter-N-Go button.
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 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 key fob and 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. You can
keep the emergency key with you when valet parking.
To remove the emergency key, slide the mechanical latch at
the top of the key fob sideways with your thumb and then
pull the key out with your other hand.
NOTE: When using the emergency key to gain access to
your vehicle, be aware that the security alarm may be
triggered. Insert the key into the ignition and place the
ignition in the ON/RUN mode to disarm the security
system.
This Keyless Push Button Ignition key fob allows the driver
to operate the ignition switch with the push of a button, as
long as the key fob is in the passenger compartment. The
Keyless Push Button Ignition has four operating positions,
three of which are labeled and will illuminate when in
position. The three positions are OFF, ACC, and ON/RUN.
