Keyless Ignition
Starting Key Fob Operation:
When the electrical system is activated with the power switch, the key fob must be within range. If the key fob is not detected, the security light will flash. The electrical system will automatically shut down.
The starter motor will not engage during this time. If a key fob is not available, your personal identification number (PIN) can be entered using the turn signal switches, or on the Ride Command display screen (if equipped), to unlock the security system. See Unlocking the Security System (Base Models Only).
Driving Key Fob Operation:
After starting the engine, the Vehicle Control Module (VCM) will verify that the key fob is within range again when shifting from neutral into gear. The security light may turn on during this check. The VCM will not search for the key fob again after the vehicle has moved. If the key fob is lost during riding, the PIN will be needed to restart the vehicle.
If the key fob is not detected when shifting into gear:
-
The horn will sound and the security light will flash.
-
The engine will then turn off.
-
The electrical system will then automatically shut down.
Key Fob Storage:
The key fob should not be stored near devices that can interfere with radio waves, such as cell phones, power supplies, or magnets, during operation.
