Intelligent Access (IA) Key

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The IA  key incorporates both the PATS  and the RKE  transmitter functions in a single device. The IA  key must be located inside the vehicle for engine starting. When the IA  key is activated it sends out a frequency signal that is received by the TPM  . The IA  key also contains a key blade that is used to enter the vehicle as a backup.
