Driving and Operating The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter must be in the vehicle. Press the brake pedal and push and release the POWER O button. If the RKE transmitter is not in the vehicle or something is interfering with the transmitter, a message displays in the Driver Information Center (DIC). See Key and Lock Messages on page 5‑48. If the vehicle will not start due to a low RKE transmitter battery, the vehicle can still be driven. See "Starting the Vehicle with a Low Transmitter Battery" in Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation on page 2‑3. A Welcome, Ready, and Good‐bye audio message will be heard in the vehicle and animated on the instrument cluster when opening the driver door upon entry, when the vehicle is ready to be driven, and when the vehicle is turned off. 9-21 The instrument cluster displays an active fuel or battery gauge, along with an audio startup cue, when the vehicle is ready to be driven. This could take up to 15 seconds at extremely cold temperatures. The engine will only start if needed. If the vehicle did not start, the instrument cluster will display a screen with inactive fuel and battery gauges. See Starting and Stopping the Vehicle on page 9‑20.
