K (Unlock): Press once to unlock
only the driver door. If
K is pressed
again within three seconds, all
remaining doors unlock. The interior
lamps may come on and stay on for
20 seconds or until the ignition is
turned on.
If enabled through the DIC, the turn
signal lamps flash twice to indicate
unlocking has occurred. See Vehicle
Personalization (With DIC Buttons)
on page 5‑47. If enabled through
the DIC, the exterior lights turn on
briefly if it is dark enough outside.
See “Approach Lighting” under
Vehicle Personalization (With DIC
Buttons) on page 5‑47.
Pressing
K on the RKE transmitter
disarms the content theft‐deterrent
system. See Anti-Theft Alarm
System on page 2‑14.

unlock the liftglass.

hold to open and close the liftgate.
The taillamps flash and a chime
sounds to indicate when the liftgate
is opening and closing.
L (Vehicle Locator/Panic
Alarm): Press and release to
locate the vehicle. The turn signal
lamps flash and the horn sounds
three times.
Press and hold
L for more than
two seconds to activate the panic
alarm. The turn signal lamps flash
and the horn sounds repeatedly for
30 seconds. The alarm turns off
when the ignition is moved to
ON/RUN or
L is pressed again.
The ignition must be in LOCK/OFF
for the panic alarm to work.
The vehicle comes with two
transmitters. Each transmitter will
have a number on it, “1” or “2”.
These numbers correspond to
the driver of the vehicle. For
example, the memory seat position
for driver 1 will be recalled when
using the transmitter labeled “1”,
if enabled through the DIC.
See “Memory Seat, Mirrors,
and Pedals” under Power Seat
Adjustment on page 3‑4 and Vehicle
Personalization (With DIC Buttons)
on page 5‑47 for more information.
Programming Transmitters to
the Vehicle
Only RKE transmitters programmed
to this vehicle will work. If a
transmitter is lost or stolen, a
replacement can be purchased and
programmed through your dealer.
When the replacement transmitter
is programmed to this vehicle, all
remaining transmitters must also
be reprogrammed. Any lost or
stolen transmitters will no longer
work once the new transmitter is
programmed. The vehicle can have
a maximum of eight transmitters
programmed to it. See your dealer
to program transmitters to the
vehicle.
