WARNING
Leaving children in a vehicle with a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is dangerous and children or others could be seriously injured or killed. They could operate the power windows or other controls or make the vehicle move. The windows will function with the RKE transmitter in the vehicle, and children or others could be caught in the path of a closing window. Do not leave children in a vehicle with an RKE transmitter.
The key that is part of the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter can be used for the ignition and all locks if the vehicle is a key access vehicle. If the vehicle has the keyless ignition, the key can be used for the locks.
Press the button on the RKE transmitter to extend the key. Press the button and the key blade to retract the key.
If it becomes difficult to turn the key, inspect the key blade for debris.
Periodically clean with a brush or pick.
See your dealer if a new key is needed.
