The RKE system uses an integrated keyhead transmitter (IKT). The IKT incorporates both the passive anti-theft system (PATS) functions and the RKE transmitter functions in a single device.

The IKT initiates the following electronic system functions:
- Unlock the driver door
- Unlock all doors
- Lock all doors
- Open the power liftgate (if equipped)
- Arm/disarm the perimeter alarm (if equipped)
- Activate/deactivate the panic alarm

The IKT has a minimum acceptable operating range of 10 m (33 ft).

The IKT can be programmed using a scan tool or by using PATS key programming using 2 programmed keys.

Keyless Entry Keypad
The keyless entry keypad feature allows the following functions to be carried out:
- Unlock all the doors
- Lock all doors
- Arm/disarm the perimeter alarm (if equipped)
- Recall the memory seat position associated with a particular remote entry device (when enabled)

It also illuminates the keyless entry keypad lamp and issues illuminated entry on/off requests to the smart junction box (SJB), when locking and unlocking. The keyless entry keypad is wired to the SJB which controls the output functions of the driver and passenger door locks.
