Remote Keyless Entry System (Keyfob)

(if so equipped)

The Remote Keyless Entry system (Keyfob) allows you to lock and unlock all doors (including the lift gate and the fuel-filler door), open the windows, and activate a panic alarm—all from outside the vehicle.

Intelligent Key System

(if so equipped)

Similar to the Remote Keyless Entry system, the Intelligent Key system also lets you lock and unlock all doors (including the lift gate and the fuel-filler door), open the windows, and activate a panic alarm from outside your vehicle. What makes these systems differ is the ability to perform some of these functions—as well as start and stop the engine—without having to remove the Intelligent Key from your pocket or bag.

Individual driver position adjustment features can be linked to each specific Intelligent Key (see page 4). Attached to your Intelligent Keys are color-coded key ring clips which conveniently help you distinguish one driver’s Intelligent Key from another.

When programmed, the Automatic Drive Positioner can adjust the driver’s seat, steering column, and the outside mirrors to two memorized positions.

Keep the transmission in P (PARK) with the parking brake applied.

2 Adjust the driver’s seat, steering wheel, and outside mirrors to the desired positions. 3 Press the SET button. The indicator lights on both Memory buttons 1 and 2 will

illuminate.

4 Within 5 seconds, press Memory button 1 or 2 and hold down for at least 1 second. The

indicator light on the Memory button you select will blink ON and OFF one time and then illuminate solid for approximately 5 seconds. The seat/steering/mirror memory is now set to your preference.

5 Link the seat/steering/mirror memory to your Intelligent Key.

While the indicator light on the Memory button is illuminated (see step 4, above) press the UNLOCK button on your Intelligent Key. The indicator light on the Memory button chosen will blink ON and OFF approximately 10 times. The memory is now matched to the Intelligent Key. You may set the second seat/steering/mirror memory positions to your other Intelligent Key by repeating the steps above.

Note: After step 5 is performed one time to link the seat/steering/mirror memory to your Intelligent Key, you DO NOT need to perform this step again if new seat/steering/mirror memory positions are saved in the future. New memory positions are automatically linked to your Intelligent Key after step 5 is performed one time.
