Intelligent Access Key (IA key) (if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with
two Intelligent Access keys which
operate the power locks and the
remote entry system. You have to
have the IA key in the vehicle to
activate the push button start
system.
The IA key also contains a
removable mechanical key blade
that can be used to unlock the
driver door. To release the
mechanical key blade, press the
release button on the back of the
transmitter and slide the blade out.
Your IA keys are programmed to
your vehicle. You cannot enter or
start your vehicle with an
unprogrammed key. If you lose one
or both of your IA keys,
replacements are available from
your authorized dealer. For more
information on programming
replacement IA keys, refer to the
SecuriLock
passive anti-theft system section in this chapter.
Note: Your vehicle’s IA backup keys
were issued with a security tag that
provides important vehicle key cut
information. It is recommended that
you keep the tag in a safe place for
future reference.
