Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)

This system allows you to lock or unlock the doors and liftgate, open the liftgate flip-up window, or activate the PANIC alarm from distances up to approximately 66 ft (20 m) using a hand-held Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. The RKE transmitter does not need to be pointed at the vehicle to activate the system. However, the line of transmission must not be blocked with metal objects when using the RKE transmitter.

NOTE: Inserting the key into the ignition switch disables all buttons on the RKE transmitter.
