GENERAL INFORMATION ON RADIO FREQUENCIES
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with Industry Canadalicense-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- This device may not cause harmful interference, and
- This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
WARNING: Changes or modifications not expressively approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. The term “IC:” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. The typical operating range for your transmitter is approximately 33 ft (10 m). Vehicles with the remote start feature will have a greater range.
One of the following could cause a decrease in operating range:
- Weather conditions.
- Nearby radio towers.
- Structures around the vehicle.
- Other vehicles parked next to your vehicle.
The radio frequency used by your remote control can also be used by other radio transmitters, for example amateur radios, medical equipment, wireless headphones, wireless remote controls, cell phones, battery chargers and alarm systems. If the frequencies are jammed, you will not be able to use your remote control. You can lock and unlock the doors with the key.
Note: Make sure to lock your vehicle before leaving it unattended.
Note: If you are in range, the remote control will operate if you press any button unintentionally.
Note: The remote control contains sensitive electrical components. Exposure to moisture or impact may cause permanent damage.
Intelligent Access (If Equipped)
The system uses a radio frequency signal to communicate with your vehicle and authorize your vehicle to unlock when one of the following conditions are met:
- You activate the front exterior door handle switch.
- You press the luggage compartment button.
- You press a button on the transmitter.
If excessive radio frequency interference is present in the area or if the transmitter battery is low, you may need to mechanically unlock your door. You can use the mechanical key blade in your intelligent access key to open the driver door in this situation.
REMOTE CONTROL OWNER’S MANUAL
Passive Key
The passive key operates the power locks and the remote start system. The passive key must be in your vehicle to use the push button start.
Note: You may not be able to shift out of park (P) unless the passive key is inside your vehicle.
Note: If the passive key remains motionless for 40 or more seconds, you need to move the passive key for passive entry to operate. If the passive key remains motionless for 8 or more hours, you need to move the passive key for push button start to operate.
Note: Your vehicle keys come with a security label that provides important key cut information. Keep the label in a safe place for future reference.
Removable Key Blade
The passive key also contains a removable key blade you can use to unlock your vehicle.
Replacing the Battery
- WARNING: Keep batteries away from children to prevent ingestion. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death. If ingested, immediately seek medical attention.
- WARNING: If the battery compartment does not securely close, stop using the remote control and replace it as soon as possible. In the meantime, keep the remote control away from children. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death.
A message appears in the information display when the remote control battery is low. See Information Messages (page 139). The remote control uses one coin-type three-volt lithium battery, CR2450, or equivalent.

Car Finder
Press the button twice within three seconds. A tone sounds and the direction indicators flash. We recommend you use this method to locate your vehicle, rather than using the panic alarm.
Sounding the Panic Alarm
Press the button to sound the panic alarm. Press the button again or switch the ignition on to turn it off.
Note: The panic alarm only operates when the ignition is off.
Remote Start
WARNING: Do not start the engine in a closed garage or in other enclosed areas. Exhaust fumes are toxic. Always open the garage door before you start the engine. Failure to follow this instruction could result in personal injury or death.
The remote start button is on the remote control. This feature allows you to start your vehicle from the outside. The remote control has an extended operating range. You can configure the automatic climate control to operate when you remote start your vehicle. Many states and provinces restrict the use of remote start. Check your local and state or provincial laws for specific requirements regarding remote start systems.
The remote start system does not work if any of the following occur:
- The ignition is on.
- The anti-theft alarm triggers.
- You switch the feature off through the touchscreen.
- The hood is open.
- The transmission is not in park (P).
- The battery voltage is below the minimum operating voltage.
Note: Do not use remote start if your fuel level is low.

Remote Starting Your Vehicle
- Press the lock button to lock all the doors.
- Press the remote start button twice. The exterior lamps flash twice. A tone sounds if the system fails to start.
Note: You must press each button within three seconds of each other. If you do not follow this sequence, your vehicle does not start remotely, the direction indicators do not flash twice and the horn does not sound.
Note: Press the push button ignition switch on the instrument panel as you apply the brake pedal before driving your vehicle.
The power windows do not work during remote start and the radio does not turn on. The parking lamps remain on and your vehicle runs for 5, 10 or 15 minutes, depending on the setting.
Extending the Engine Running Time
To extend the engine running time duration of your vehicle during remote start, repeat steps 1 and 2 while the engine is running. If the duration is set to 15 minutes, the duration extends by another 15 minutes. For example, if your vehicle had been running from the first remote start for 5 minutes, your vehicle continues to run now for a total of 30 minutes. You can extend the engine running time duration to a maximum of 30 minutes.
Wait at least five seconds before the remote starts after the engine stops running.
Turning Your Vehicle Off After Remote Starting
Press the button once. Your vehicle and the parking lamps are turned off.
Due to ground reflection and the added noise of your vehicle running, you might need to move closer to the vehicle when using remote start to switch it on or off. You can switch this feature on or off using the touchscreen.
Memory Feature
You can program your passive key to recall memory positions.
REPLACING A LOST KEY OR REMOTE CONTROL
Replacement keys or remote controls can be purchased from an authorized dealer. Authorized dealers can program remote controls for your vehicle.
