Automatic arming
The vehicle is armed immediately after switching the ignition to the off
position.
The theft indicator will flash every
two seconds to act as a theft
deterrent when the vehicle is
armed.
Automatic disarming
The vehicle is disarmed immediately after the ignition is turned on.
If equipped with IKTs, the theft indicator will illuminate for three
seconds and then go out. If the theft indicator stays on for an extended
period of time or flashes rapidly, contact your authorized dealer as soon
as possible.
Replacement Integrated Keyhead Transmitters (IKT) and coded
keys or Intelligent Access Keys
Note: Your vehicle comes equipped with two Integrated Keyhead
Transmitters (IKTs) or two Intelligent Access Keys.
The Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) functions as both a
programmed ignition key that operates all the locks and starts the
vehicle, as well as a remote keyless entry transmitter. A maximum of
eight coded keys can be programmed to your vehicle; only four of these
eight coded keys can be IKTs with remote entry functionality.
The Intelligent Access Key functions as both a programmed key that
operates the driver door lock, activates Intelligent Access with Push
Button Start systems as well as a remote keyless entry transmitter. A
maximum of four Intelligent Access Keys can be programmed to your
vehicle.
If your programmed transmitters or standard SecuriLock
coded keys
(IKTs only) are lost or stolen and you don’t have an extra coded key, you
will need to have your vehicle towed to an authorized dealer. The key
codes need to be erased from your vehicle and new coded keys will need
to be programmed.
Replacing coded keys can be very costly. Store an extra programmed key
away from the vehicle in a safe place to help prevent any
inconveniences. Please visit an authorized dealer to purchase additional
spare or replacement keys.
