Locks and Security Intelligent Access WARNING: Radio waves from the intelligent access system transmitters in the vehicle may affect certain implanted medical devices such as pacemakers or cardiac defibrillators. People having such implanted medical devices should ask the medical device manufacturer or their physician whether the intelligent access system may affect the equipment before coming into close proximity with a vehicle equipped with intelligent access. Failure to do so may result in interference with the medical device, which could result in serious injury. Your intelligent access system uses a radio frequency (RF) signal to communicate with your vehicle and authorize your vehicle to unlock when commanded (either by pressing any keyless entry keypad button, the power liftgate button, or a button on the transmitter itself). If excessive RF interference is present in the area, or if your vehicle battery is low, it may be necessary to mechanically unlock your door. The mechanical key blade in your IA key can be used to open the driver's door in this situation (refer to Intelligent access key in this chapter for more information on the location and use of the mechanical key blade). Your vehicle will allow you to unlock and enter your vehicle without actively using a key or transmitter. You can use the intelligent access feature at the driver door or at the liftgate. You can activate the intelligent access feature as long as you have one of your IA keys within range of the driver door or the liftgate. Activating intelligent access at the Driver's Door: If your IA key is within 3 feet (1 meter) of the driver's door, you can activate your intelligent access system by pressing any button on the keyless entry keypad. The driver's door will automatically unlock and the door can be opened. (Note: If two stage unlocking is disabled, all doors will unlock when you press any button on the keyless entry keypad). Activating intelligent access at the liftgate: If your IA key is within 3 feet (1 meter) of the liftgate, you can activate your intelligent access system by pressing the exterior liftgate release button, hidden under the trim above the license plate. The liftgate will release and open. Push button start: The push button start system allows you to start your vehicle without using a key. Refer to Push button start in the Driving chapter. 157 2011 MKT (mkt) Owners Guide, 1st Printing USA (fus)
