GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

KEYS

KEY FOBS

Your vehicle is equipped with a keyless ignition key fob.

The keyless ignition key fob supports Passive Entry,
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE), Keyless Enter ‘n Go™
(if equipped), Remote Start (if equipped), and remote
power liftgate operation. The keyless ignition key fob
supports vehicles equipped with a START/STOP ignition
button. The keyless ignition key fob also includes an
emergency key, which is stored in the rear of the key
fob.

The key fob allows you to lock or unlock the doors and
liftgate 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.

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.

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 can be verified
by referring to the instrument cluster, which will display
directions to follow

To Unlock/Lock The Doors And Liftgate

Push and release the unlock button on the key fob once
to unlock the driver’s door. If selected within Uconnect
Settings, pushing the unlock button twice within five
seconds will unlock all the doors and the liftgate. To
lock all the doors and the liftgate, push the lock button
once

When the doors are unlocked, the turn signals will flash
and the illuminated entry system will be activated.
When the doors are locked, the turn signals will flash
and the horn will chirp.

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 detect a key fob. The Key Left
Vehicle feature will activate when the first door is
closed and no key fob is detected in the vehicle. If
the warning has been activated, and the other doors
are closed, no other warnings will be issued.

•

These alerts will not be activated in situations where
either the vehicle’s engine is left running with the
key fob inside, or the key fob’s wireless signals are
blocked.

Replacing The Battery In The Key Fob

The replacement battery is one CR2032 battery.

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

•

Do not touch the battery terminals that are on the
back housing or the printed circuit board.

Key Fob:

1. Remove the emergency key (2) by sliding the emer-

gency key release (1) on the back of the key fob and
pulling the emergency key out with your other hand.

2. Separate the key fob halves using a #2 flat-blade

screwdriver or a coin, and gently pry the two halves
of the key fob apart. Make sure not to damage the
seal during removal.

3. Remove the back cover to access and replace the

battery. When replacing the battery, match the (+)
sign on the battery to the (+) sign on the inside of
the battery clip, located on the back cover. Avoid

touching the new battery with your fingers. Skin oils

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING!

•

Always remove the key fobs from the vehicle and
lock all doors when leaving the vehicle
unattended.

•

For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter ‘n Go™
Ignition, always remember to place the ignition in
the OFF position when exiting the vehicle.

Duplication of key fobs may be performed at an autho-
rized 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 unauthor-
ized vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The sys-
tem 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 unau-
thorized 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 elec-
tronics. 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 elec-
tronics. Should this occur, have the vehicle serviced as
soon as possible by an authorized dealer.

CAUTION!

The Sentry Key Immobilizer system is not compatible
with some aftermarket Remote Start systems. Use of
these systems may result in vehicle starting problems
and loss of security protection.

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 consid-
ered an invalid key.

IGNITION SWITCH

KEYLESS ENTER ‘N GO™ IGNITION

This feature allows the driver to operate the ignition
with the push of a button as long as the key fob is in the
passenger compartment.

The START/STOP ignition button has three operating
modes. The three modes are OFF, ON/RUN, and START.

The push button ignition can be placed in the following
modes:

OFF

•

The engine is stopped.

•

Some electrical devices (e.g. power locks, alarm,
etc.) are still available.

START/STOP Ignition Button

1 — OFF
2 — ON/RUN

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

ON/RUN

•

•

All electrical devices are available (e.g. climate con-
trols, heated seats, etc.).

START

•

The engine will start.

NOTE:

If the ignition state/mode does not change with the
push of a button, the key fob may have a low or
depleted battery. In this situation, a backup method can
be used to operate the ignition switch. Put the nose
side (side opposite of the emergency key) of the key fob
against the START/STOP ignition button and push to
operate the ignition.

WARNING!

•

When exiting the vehicle, always remove the key
fob from the vehicle and lock your vehicle.

•

Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle.

(Continued)

WARNING!

•

Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or oth-
ers could be seriously or fatally injured. Children
should be warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the gear selector.

•

Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or
in a location accessible to children, and do not
leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with Key-
less Enter ‘n Go™ in the ON/RUN position. A child
could operate power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.

•

Do not leave children or animals inside parked
vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat buildup may
cause serious injury or death.

CAUTION!

An unlocked vehicle is an invitation for thieves.
Always remove key fob from the vehicle and lock all
doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.

NOTE:

•

For information on normal starting, see

page 83.

•

When opening the driver's door and the ignition is in
the ON/RUN (engine not running) position, a chime
will sound to remind you to place the ignition in the
OFF position. In addition to the chime, the “Vehicle
On” message will display in the cluster.

REMOTE START — IF EQUIPPED

This system uses the key fob to start the
engine conveniently from outside the vehicle
while still maintaining security. The system has
a range of approximately 328 ft (100 m).

Remote Start is used to defrost windows in cold
weather and to reach a comfortable climate in all ambi-
ent conditions before the customer enters the vehicle.

NOTE:

Obstructions between the vehicle and key fob may
reduce this range

WARNING!

•

Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or
confined area. Exhaust gas contains carbon mon-
oxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon
monoxide is poisonous and can cause serious
injury or death when inhaled.

•

Keep key fobs away from children. Operation of the
Remote Start system, windows, door locks or other
controls could cause serious injury or death.

HOW TO USE REMOTE START

Push and release the Remote Start button on the key
fob twice within five seconds. The vehicle doors will
lock, the parking lights will flash, and the horn will chirp
twice (if programmed). Then, the engine will start, and
the vehicle will remain in the Remote Start mode for a
15 minute cycle. Pushing the Remote Start button a
third time shuts the engine off.

VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM

The Vehicle Security system monitors the vehicle doors,
hood, liftgate, and the Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ Ignition for
unauthorized operation. While the Vehicle Security sys-
tem is armed, interior switches for door locks and lift-
gate release are disabled. If something triggers the sys-
tem, the Vehicle Security system will provide the
following audible and visible signals:

•

The horn will pulse

•

The turn signals will flash

•

The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster
will flash

NOTE:

•

The Vehicle Security system is factory adjusted to
standards from different countries.

•

The Vehicle Security system is a complementary
security system developed to hinder the occurrence
of vehicle theft and prevent vandalism. It does not
prevent the theft of your vehicle; the system is a
deterrent.

•

The Vehicle Security system does not monitor glass
breakage or the movement of objects or people
inside the vehicle. The alarm does not intervene in
the case of vehicle tilt variations when it is parked.

TO ARM THE SYSTEM

Follow these steps to arm the Vehicle Security system:

1. Make sure the vehicle’s ignition is placed in the OFF

position.

○

TO DISARM THE SYSTEM

The Vehicle Security system can be disarmed using any
of the following methods:

•

Push the unlock button on the key fob.

•

Grab the Passive Entry door handle to unlock the
door

page 21.

•

Cycle the ignition out of the OFF position to disarm
the system.

NOTE:

•

The driver's door key cylinder and the liftgate button
on the key fob cannot arm or disarm the Vehicle
Security system.

•

The Vehicle Security system remains armed during
power liftgate entry. Pushing the liftgate button will
not disarm the Vehicle Security system. If someone
enters the vehicle through the opened liftgate, then
opens any door, the alarm will sound.

•

When the Vehicle Security system is armed, the inte-
rior power door lock switches will not unlock the
doors.

The Vehicle Security system is designed to protect your
vehicle. However, you can create conditions where the
system will give you a false alarm. If one of the previ-
ously described arming sequences has occurred, the
Vehicle Security system will arm regardless of whether
you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle
and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this occurs,
disarm the Vehicle Security system.

If the Vehicle Security system is armed and the battery
becomes disconnected, the Vehicle Security system will
remain armed when the battery is reconnected; the
exterior lights will flash, and the horn will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security system.

REARMING OF THE SYSTEM

If something triggers the alarm, and no action is taken
to disarm it, the Vehicle Security system will turn the
horn off after approximately 90 seconds, and then the
Vehicle Security system will rearm itself.

SECURITY SYSTEM MANUAL
OVERRIDE

The Vehicle Security system will not arm if you lock the

you from accidentally locking the key fob in the vehicle.
Placing the ignition in the OFF position or closing the
doors and liftgate will allow the locks to operate.

KEYLESS ENTER ‘N GO™ —
PASSIVE ENTRY

The Passive Entry system is an enhancement to the
vehicle’s Remote Keyless Entry system and a feature of
Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ — Passive Entry. This feature
allows you to lock and unlock the vehicle’s door(s) with-
out having to push the key fob lock or unlock buttons.

NOTE:

•

Passive Entry may be programmed on/off through
Uconnect Settings

•

The key fob may not detect the Passive Entry system
if it is located next to a mobile phone, laptop or

key fob’s wireless signal and prevent the Passive
Entry system from locking and unlocking the vehicle.

•

If wearing gloves, if it has been raining/snowing, or
there is salt/dirt covering the Passive Entry door
handle, the unlock sensitivity can be affected,
resulting in a slower response time.

•

The doors may unlock when water is sprayed on the
Passive Entry door handles, if the key fob is located
outside of the vehicle within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the handle.

•

If the vehicle is unlocked by Passive Entry and no door
is opened within 60 seconds, the vehicle will relock
and, if equipped, will arm the Vehicle Security system.

To Unlock From The Driver's Side Or Passenger’s Side

With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of
either front door handle, grab the door handle to unlock
the door automatically.

Power Door Lock Switch

Grab The Door Handle To Unlock

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

•

Either the driver door only or all doors will unlock
when you grab hold of the front driver’s door handle,

system

•

All doors and the liftgate will unlock when the front
passenger door handle is grabbed regardless of the
driver’s door unlock preference setting.

Frequency Operated Button Integrated Key
(FOBIK-Safe)

To minimize the possibility of unintentionally locking a
Passive Entry key fob inside your vehicle, the Passive
Entry system is equipped with an automatic door
unlock feature which will function if the ignition switch
is in the OFF position.

There are three situations that trigger a FOBIK-Safe
search in any Passive Entry vehicle:

•

A lock request is made by a valid Passive Entry key
fob while a door is open.

•

A lock request is made by the Passive Entry door
handle while a door is open.

•

A lock request is made by the door panel switch
while the door is open.

When any of these situations occur, after all open doors
are shut, the FOBIK-Safe search will be executed. If it
detects a Passive Entry key fob inside the vehicle and it
does not detect any Passive Entry key fobs outside the
vehicle, then the vehicle will unlock and alert the
customer.

NOTE:

The vehicle will only unlock the doors when a valid Pas-
sive Entry key fob is detected inside the vehicle. The
vehicle will not unlock the doors when any of the follow-
ing conditions are true:

•

The doors are manually locked using the door lock
knobs.

•

Three attempts are made to lock the doors using
the door panel switch and then the doors are
closed.

•

There is a valid Passive Entry key fob outside the
vehicle and within 5 ft (1.5 m) of either Passive
Entry door handle.

To Lock The Vehicle’s Doors And Liftgate
