Passive Key

The passive key incorporates both the PATS and the RKE transmitter functions in a single device. The passive key must be located inside the vehicle for the ignition to transition out of OFF and on the outside for passive entry features. During key programming procedures, the PATS and RKE transmitter of the passive key are both programmed into the RFA module. The vehicle accepts programming of up to 8 passive keys.

The passive key also contains a removable key blade that can be used to unlock the driver door in the event of an electrical failure (such as a drained battery).
