This check combines the verified year, any source-supported powertrain scope, source-named trim/package and required equipment. It does not read a VIN or factory build record.
Published availability and qualifications

Know what kind of control to look for.
This original category diagram is an orientation aid, not a picture of your exact trim. Use the written labels and your vehicle manual to identify the real control.
Step by step.
- 01
Place the key card flat against the reader on the driver-door pillar to unlock the vehicle.
- 02
Enter and place the card on the key reader between the two front seats.
- 03
Select a drive position and begin using the pedals; after driving access is granted, the card can be removed from the reader.
- 04
If the vehicle has remained stationary long enough to leave driving mode, return the card to the reader to reactivate access.
Important limits
- The interior key reader shares its location with the wireless phone charger, so the two functions cannot be used at the same time.
- Do not sandwich payment cards or other NFC cards between a phone and the wireless charger.
Quick checks.
- ✓If the exterior reader does not respond, hold the card flat against the marked pillar area rather than waving it.
- ✓If driving access expires while stationary, place the card back on the interior reader before selecting a gear.
