KEYS
Key Fob
Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system. The ignition
system consists of a key fob with Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) and a START/STOP push button ignition system.
The Remote Keyless Entry system consists of a key fob and
Keyless Enter-N-Go feature if equipped.
NOTE:The key fob may not be found if it is located next to
a mobile phone, laptop or other electronic device; these
devices may block the key fob’s wireless signal.
The key fob allows you to lock or unlock the doors and
trunk from distances up to approximately 66 feet (20 m)
using a handheld key fob. The key fob does not need to be
pointed at the vehicle to activate the system.
NOTE: SRT vehicles, equipped with the 6.2L Super-
charged engine, come with three key fobs (two red and one
black) that allow for different engine power levels. Please
refer to the “Drive Mode Supplement” for further descrip-
tions. NOTE:
In the ON/RUN position, key fob commands are
disabled if the vehicle is at or above 5 MPH.

The key fob also contains an emergency key, which is
stored in the rear of the key fob.
The emergency key allows for entry into the vehicle should
the battery in the vehicle or the key fob go dead. The
emergency key is also for locking/unlocking the glove
compartment. You can keep the emergency key with you
when valet parking.
To remove the emergency key, slide the mechanical release
button on the back of the key fob sideways with your
thumb and then pull the key out with your other hand.NOTE:
In case the ignition switch does not change with the
push of a button, the key fob may have a low or dead
battery. In this situation, a backup method can be used to
operate the ignition switch. Put the nose side of the key fob
(side opposite of the Emergency Key) against the ENGINE
START/STOP button and push to operate the ignition
switch.
