Personal Identity Keys
This system stores electronic
settings for two different keys. The
settings are stored when a
personal identity key is removed
from the ignition and recalled when
Q on the RKE transmitter is
pressed. For information on storing
climate control settings, radio
settings and trip computer settings,
see “Personal Identity Memories”
under Radio(s) on page 6-3,
“Ignition Keys” under Climate
Control System on page 7-1 and
“Trip Computer” under DIC Vehicle
Customization on page 4-32.
Matching Transmitter(s) to
Your Vehicle
Each RKE transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from
unlocking your vehicle. If a
transmitter is lost or stolen, a
replacement can be purchased
through your dealer/retailer. Bring
any additional transmitters so they
can also be re-coded to match
the new transmitter. Once your
dealer/retailer has coded the new
transmitter, the lost transmitter
will not unlock your vehicle.
Battery Replacement
The RKE transmitter has a lithium
battery which should last about
three years.
Have the battery replaced if the
Replace Battery in Remote
Key message displays in the DIC or
if the transmitter will not work at
the normal range in any location.
See “Replace Battery in Remote
Key” under DIC Warnings and
Messages on page 4-27.
The battery is not rechargeable.
See your dealer/retailer to replace
the battery.
