Keys
Your vehicle comes with a pair of identical keys. Keep the spare key in a safe place.
One key can open all of the locks on the vehicle.
The key identification number is stamped on a metal tag provided with the keys.
Keep the tag in a safe place. If you lose your keys, you will need this number to have new keys made. Write the number below for your future reference.
Ignition Key Reminder
A buzzer sounds intermittently to remind you to remove the ignition key if it is in the ignition switch when the driver’s door is opened.
