Is it safe with this vehicle to use a lighter to heat key for frozen locks?

What is your question?

This is the nicest newest car I've had. I am used to using a lighter to heat the key if the locks are frozen so the remote or the key won't open it. Is it safe to do so with this vehicle too?

I would not heat the original key as it has a security chip inside it that might get damaged.. You may not have that problem with this vehicle to start with..
