GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

KEYS

Your vehicle is equipped with a key fob which supports

Passive Entry, Remote Keyless Entry (RKE), Keyless

Enter ‘n Go™ (if equipped), and Remote Start (if

equipped). The key fob allows you to lock or unlock the

doors and swing gate from distances up to approximately

66 ft (20 m). The key fob does not need to be pointed at

the vehicle to activate the system. The key fob also

contains a mechanical key.

NOTE:



The key fob’s wireless signal may be blocked if the key

fob is located next to a mobile phone, laptop, or other

electronic device. This may result in poor performance.



With the ignition on and the vehicle moving at 2 mph

(4 km/h), all RKE commands are disabled.

Key Fob

NOTE:



In case the ignition switch does not change with the

push of a button, the key fob may have a low or fully

depleted battery. A low key fob battery condition may

be indicated by a message in the instrument cluster

display, or by the LED light on the key fob. If the LED key

fob light no longer illuminates from key fob button

pushes, then the key fob battery requires replacement.



Improper disposal of key fob batteries may be harmful

to the environment. Please see an authorized dealer

for proper battery disposal

www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate for

Key Left Vehicle Feature

If a valid key fob is no longer detected inside the vehicle

while the vehicle’s ignition system is in the ON/RUN or

START position, the message “Key Fob Has Left The

Vehicle” will be shown in the instrument cluster display

along with an interior chime. An exterior audible and visual

alert will also be activated to warn the driver.
The vehicle’s horn will rapidly chirp three times along with

a single flash of the vehicle’s exterior lights.

NOTE:



The doors have to be open and then closed in order for

the vehicle to check for the presence of a key fob; the

Key Left Vehicle feature will not activate until all of the

doors are closed.



These alerts will not be activated in situations where

the vehicle’s engine is left running with the key fob

inside.

Replacing The Battery In The Key Fob

The recommended replacement battery is CR2450.

NOTE:



Customers are recommended to use a battery

obtained from Mopar®. Aftermarket coin battery

dimensions may not meet the original OEM coin battery

dimensions.



Perchlorate Material — special handling may apply. See

further information.



Do not touch the battery terminals that are on the back

housing or the printed circuit board.



When a key fob battery is low, a warning will be indi

cated on the vehicle’s instrument cluster, and the fob

LED will no longer illuminate with a button press.

1. Remove the back cover of the fob by inserting a

flat-blade screwdriver into the slot on the bottom of

the fob. Pry until the cover unsnaps being careful not

to damage the seal. Proceed counterclockwise to

pry the remaining snaps until the battery cover can

be removed.

1-3 – Back Cover Pry Points

2. Remove the depleted battery by inserting a small

flat-blade screwdriver into the battery removal slot

and sliding the battery forward and up being careful

not to damage the electronic board underneath.

Battery Replacement

3. Install the new battery into the key fob, making sure

the positive (+) side is facing up. Slide the battery

4. Reassemble the back cover making sure it is properly

aligned before snapping it back in place.

WARNING!



The integrated key fob contains a coin cell battery.

Do not ingest the battery; there is a chemical burn

hazard. If the coin cell battery is swallowed, it can

cause severe internal burns in just two hours and

can lead to death.



If you think a battery may have been swallowed or

placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate

medical attention.



Keep new and used batteries away from children. If

the battery compartment does not close securely,

stop using the product and keep it away from chil

dren.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Programming And Requesting Additional

Key Fobs

Programming the key fob may be performed by an

authorized dealer.

NOTE:



Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be

repurposed and reprogrammed to another vehicle.



Only key fobs that are programmed to the vehicle elec

tronics can be used to start and operate the vehicle.

Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be

programmed to any other vehicle.

Duplication of key fobs may be performed at an authorized

dealer. This procedure consists of programming a blank

key fob to the vehicle electronics. A blank key fob is one

that has never been programmed.

NOTE:



When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer system

serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to an autho

rized dealer.



Keys must be ordered to the correct key cut to match

the vehicle locks.

SENTRY KEY

The Sentry Key Immobilizer system prevents unauthorized

vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The system

does not need to be armed or activated. Operation is

automatic, regardless of whether the vehicle is locked or

unlocked.
The system uses a key fob, keyless push button ignition

and a Radio Frequency (RF) receiver to prevent

unauthorized vehicle operation. Therefore, only key fobs

that are programmed to the vehicle can be used to start

and operate the vehicle. The system cannot reprogram a

key fob obtained from another vehicle.
After placing the ignition in the ON/RUN position, the

Vehicle Security Light will turn on for three seconds for a

bulb check. If the light remains on after the bulb check, it

indicates that there is a problem with the electronics. In

addition, if the light begins to flash after the bulb check, it

indicates that someone attempted to start the engine with

an invalid key fob. In the event that a valid key fob is used

to start the engine but there is an issue with the vehicle

electronics, the engine will start and shut off after two

seconds.
If the Vehicle Security Light turns on during normal vehicle

operation (vehicle running for longer than 10 seconds), it

indicates that there is a fault in the electronics. Should

this occur, have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible

by an authorized dealer.

All of the key fobs provided with your new vehicle have

been programmed to the vehicle electronics

NOTE:

A key fob that has not been programmed is also

considered an invalid key.
