Keys and Remote Control Note: Make sure your vehicle is locked before leaving it unattended. Note: If you are in range, the remote control will operate if you press any button unintentionally. 57 Intelligent Access The system uses a radio frequency signal to communicate with your vehicle and authorize your vehicle to unlock when one of the following conditions is met: • You touch the inside of the front exterior door handle. • You press the luggage compartment button. • You press a button on the transmitter. If excessive radio frequency interference is present in the area or if the transmitter battery is low, it may be necessary to mechanically unlock your door. You can use the mechanical key blade in your intelligent access key to open the driver door in this situation. Refer to Remote Control in this chapter for more information on the location and use of the mechanical key blade. REMOTE CONTROL Intelligent Access Key Your vehicle is equipped with two intelligent access keys which operate the power locks and the remote start system. The key must be in the vehicle to activate the push button start system. The intelligent access key also contains a removable mechanical key blade that can be used to unlock the driver door. Slide the release on the back of the transmitter to release the mechanical key blade, then pull the blade out. 2013 MKX (mkx) Owners Guide gf, 3rd Printing USA (fus)
