Passive Entry Passive Start System

The Passive Entry Passive Start (PEPS) system includes enhancements to further improve vehicle security.

The smart key includes ultra wide band technology, designed to combat the latest security threats. Ultra wide band technology includes 2 new passive entry transceivers, which are programed to the vehicle in conjunction with smart keys.

Transport mode has changed to allow passive operation, utilizing only the front passive entry transceiver.

Operation in transport mode as follows:

Press the hazard warning lamp switch to wake up the Body Control Module/Gateway Module (BCM/GWM).
Press the engine stop/start switch with the smart key located in the cup holder close to the Transmission Control Switch (TCS).

NOTE: The smart key does not need to be held adjacent to the Immobilizer Antenna Unit (IAU), however, this function is still supported to cover error states.

The Radio Frequency (RF) receiver is now integrated into the Remote Function Actuator (RFA), however, a RF antenna is located in the headliner to receive signal requests.
