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 all locks.
To remove the key, press the button on the back of the transmitter, and pull the key out. Never pull the key out without pressing the button.
See your dealer if a new key is needed.
