Set off the alarm and also access to a valet key used to unlock and lock the doors and glovebox and possibly start the engine should your actual smart key run out of batteries this particular armada platinum where’s the blizzard exterior with the almond leather interior one of the other features via the intelligent key is this little black button on the door there

This intelligent key you can do it one of two ways as you can see there is no push button start there’s simply a little device and you push in and turn to turn on if it recognizes the fob however if your smart key has run out of batteries you push the little tang on the back of the key releases a keyblade which you insert into a standard style keyhole in the back

Healthy very nice this vehicle has five miles on the odometer we’ll go ahead and turn on the headlights as well as the fog lights as well as the hazards wherever they are and we’ll check out the exterior of the armada just for a little bit of notice this vehicle is a little bit dirty due to recent rains in the dallas-fort worth metroplex this armada actually
