following modes:
OFF
The engine is stopped.
Some electrical devices (e.g. power locks,
alarm, etc.) are still available.

TO EXIT REMOTE START MODE
To drive the vehicle after starting the Remote Start
system, either push and release the unlock button
on the key fob to unlock the doors, or unlock the
vehicle using Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ — Passive Entry
via the door handles, and disarm the Vehicle
Security system (if equipped). Then, prior to the
end of the 15 minute cycle, push and release the
START/STOP ignition button.
The Remote Start system will turn the engine off if
the Remote Start button on the key fob is pushed
again, or if the engine is allowed to run for the
entire 15 minute cycle. Once the ignition is placed
in the ON/RUN position, the climate controls will
resume the previously set operations
(temperature, blower control, etc.).
NOTE:
To avoid unintentional shutdowns, the system
will disable for two seconds after receiving a
valid Remote Start request.
For vehicles equipped with the Keyless
Enter ‘n Go™ — Passive Entry feature, the
message “Remote Start Active — Push Start
Button” will show in the instrument cluster
display until you push the START/STOP ignition
button.
Remote Start will also cancel if any of the following
occur:
The engine stalls or engine speed exceeds
2500 RPM.
Any engine warning lights come on.
The Low Fuel Light turns on.
The hood is opened.
The hazard switch is pushed.
The gear selector is moved out of PARK.
The brake pedal is pressed.
WARNING!
Do not start or run an engine in a closed
garage or confined area. Exhaust gas contains
Carbon Monoxide (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.

laptop, or other electronic device, the wireless
signal may get blocked, and the driver’s door may
not unlock automatically.
If a door is open with the ignition either placed in
the ACC or ON/RUN (engine not running) position,
a chime will sound as a reminder.
KEYLESS ENTER ‘N GO™ — PASSIVE

Enter ‘n Go™. This feature allows you to lock and
unlock the vehicle’s door(s) without having to push
the key fob lock or unlock buttons.
NOTE:
Passive Entry may be programmed on/off
through Uconnect Settings Ú page 123.
The key fob may not be detected by the vehicle
Passive Entry system if it is located next to a
mobile phone, laptop or other electronic device;
these devices may block the key fob’s wireless
signal and prevent the Passive Entry handle
from locking/unlocking the vehicle.
WARNING!
For personal security and safety in the event
of a collision, lock the vehicle doors before you
drive as well as when you park and leave the
vehicle.
Before exiting a vehicle, always shift the auto -
matic transmission into PARK or the manual
transmission into FIRST gear or REVERSE,
apply the parking brake, place the ignition in
the OFF position, remove the key fobs from
the vehicle and lock all doors, and lock your
vehicle.
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the
key from the ignition and lock your vehicle.
Unsupervised use of vehicle equipment may
cause severe personal injuries and death.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing chil -
dren to be in a vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously or fatally injured.
Children should be warned not to touch the
parking brake, brake pedal or 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 Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ in the ACC or
ON/RUN position. A child could operate power
