Activating Intelligent Access

General Information

You can unlock and lock the vehicle
without taking the keys out of your pocket
or purse when your intelligent access key
is within 3 ft (1 m) of your vehicle.
Intelligent access uses a sensor on the
back of the door handle for unlocking and
a separate sensor on the face of each door
handle for locking.

The system does not function if:
•

Your vehicle battery has no charge.

•

The key battery has no charge.

•

The key frequencies jam.

Note:

The system may not function if the

passive key is close to metal objects or
electronic devices, for example keys or a cell
phone.

If the system does not function, use

the key blade to lock and unlock your
vehicle. See Remote Control (page 52).
