KEYS

Your vehicle is equipped with two
Integrated Keyhead Transmitters
(IKTs). The IKT functions as both a
programmed ignition key that
operates all the locks and starts the
vehicle, and a remote keyless entry
transmitter.

Your IKTs are programmed to your vehicle; using a non-programmed key
will not permit your vehicle to start. If you lose your authorized dealer
supplied IKTs, replacement IKTs are available through your authorized
dealer. Standard SecuriLock™ keys without remote entry transmitter
functionality can also be purchased from your authorized dealer if
desired.

Always carry a spare key with you in case of an emergency.

For more information regarding programming replacement IKTs, refer to
the SecuriLock™ passive anti-theft system section later in this chapter.

Note: Your vehicle’s IKTs were
issued with a security label on them
that provides important vehicle key
cut information. It is recommended
that you maintain the label in a safe
place for future reference, such as
the inside front cover of this
Owner’s Guide.
