Introduction

Two remote keys or optional Personal Car Communicators (PCC) are provided with your vehicle. They enable you to unlock the doors and trunk, and also function as ignition keys to start the vehicle or operate electrical components. The remote keys contain detachable metal key blades for manually locking or unlocking the driver's door and the glove compartment. Up to six remotes can be programmed for use on the same vehicle.
The PCCs have enhanced functionality compared with the standard remote key.
NOTE
In the remainder of this chapter, all references to the remote key also pertain to the PCC unless otherwise stated.
WARNING
Never leave the remote key in the ignition if children are to remain in the vehicle.
