GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
KEYS
KEY FOB
Your vehicle is equipped with a key fob which supports
Passive Entry, Remote Keyless Entry (RKE), Keyless
Enter ‘n Go™, Remote Air Suspension Lowering, and
Remote Start. The key fob allows you to lock or unlock
all doors and liftgate, as well as activate the Panic
Alarm 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 an
emergency key, which is stored in the rear of the key
fob.
NOTE:
In vehicles equipped with Remote Start, the key fob will
operate at distances up to 328 ft (100 m).
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.
•
If your vehicle is equipped with a Wireless Charging
Pad, the key fob may not be detected if it is placed
within 6 inches (15 cm) of the pad
page 77.
•
With the ignition in the ON position and the vehicle
moving at 2 mph (4 km/h), all RKE commands are
disabled.
In case the ignition switch does not change positions
with the push of a button, the key fob may have a low or
fully depleted battery. A low key fob battery can be veri-
fied by referring to the instrument cluster, which will
display directions to follow.
For more information on ignition positions, see
page 21.
NOTE:
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 lon-
ger illuminates after a key fob button is pushed, then
the key fob battery requires replacement
page 348.
To Lock/Unlock The Doors And Liftgate
Push and release the unlock button on the key fob once
to unlock the driver’s door, or twice within five seconds
to unlock all the doors and liftgate. To lock all the doors
and 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.
NOTE:
•
If the vehicle is equipped with the Auto Relock fea-
ture, and is unlocked with the key fob, and no door
is opened within 60 seconds, the vehicle will relock
and the Vehicle Security system will arm
(if equipped). This feature can be enabled/disabled
within Uconnect Settings.
•
If one or more doors are open, or the liftgate is
open, the doors will lock. The doors will unlock
again automatically if the key fob is left inside the
passenger compartment, otherwise the doors will
stay locked.

Using The Panic Feature
To turn the Panic feature on or off, push the Panic but-
ton on the key fob. When the Panic feature is activated,
the turn signals will flash, the horn may pulse on and
off (if equipped with horn alarm), and the interior lights
will turn on.
The Panic feature will stay on for three minutes unless
you turn it off by either pushing the Panic button a sec-
ond time or drive the vehicle at a speed of 15 mph
(24 km/h) or greater.
NOTE:
•
The interior lights will turn off if you place the igni-
tion in the ON/RUN position while the Panic feature
is activated. However, the exterior lights and horn
(if equipped with horn alarm) will remain on.
•
You may need to be closer than 66 ft (20 m) from
the vehicle when using the key fob to turn off the
Panic feature due to the radio frequency noises
emitted by the system.
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.
Air Suspension (Remote Lowering Of
The Vehicle) — If Equipped
For easy entry and loading, your vehicle can
be lowered to Entry/Exit height by pushing
the key fob air suspension button two times.
When air suspension lowering is requested
using the key fob, the vehicle will send a series of
chirps and flashes (when enabled within Uconnect Set-
tings) to alert the customer that the operation has
begun and will continue these alerts until it success-
fully lowers.
The following conditions must be met for the vehicle to
lower remotely:
•
The vehicle must not already be in Entry/Exit (Park)
ride height.
•
The vehicle battery must be fully charged.
•
All doors must be closed.
•
The key fob must be out of the vehicle.
NOTE:
Ensure the vehicle is clear of all objects, pets, and
people prior to remote lowering.
Canceling Remote Lowering
Vehicle lowering can be canceled at anytime. When
vehicle lowering is canceled, the vehicle will raise up to
the next defined level and lock out the remote lowering
feature for five seconds before a new request can be
made.
To cancel vehicle lowering, push the key fob air suspen-
sion button one time during the lowering process. When
vehicle lowering is canceled, the horn will chirp two
times and the turn signals will flash four times. Once
raising is completed, the horn will chirp one time.
NOTE:
For more information on Air Suspension, see
page 125.
Replacing The Battery In The Key Fob
The replacement battery model is one CR2450 battery.
