dealer knows your vehicle best, has factory-trained tech-
nicians and genuine MOPAR® parts, and cares about

WARNING!(Continued)
•Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children 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 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
Keyless Enter-N-Go in the ACC or ON/RUN mode.
A child could operate power windows, other con-
trols, or move the vehicle.
Power Door Locks
The power door lock switch is located on each front door
panel. Push the switch to lock or unlock the doors.
If the lock knob is down when the door is closed, the door
will lock. Therefore, make sure the key fob is not inside
the vehicle before closing the door.

If you push the door lock switch while the key fob is in
the ignition switch and the driver ’s door is open, the
doors will not lock.
For the Police vehicle, both rear passenger doors are
inoperable from the rear seat position, inside of the
vehicle.
Automatic Unlock On Exit Feature — If Equipped
If Auto Unlock is enabled, this feature will unlock all the
doors when any door is opened if the vehicle is stopped
and in PARK. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
PASSIVE ENTRY SYSTEM
The Passive Entry system is an enhancement to the
vehicle’s Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system. This fea-
ture allows you to lock and unlock the vehicle’s door(s)
without having to push the RKE Key Fob lock or unlock
buttons.NOTE:
•
Passive Entry may be programmed ON/OFF; refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/ Per-
sonal Settings (Customer-Programmable Features)” in
“Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
• If wearing gloves on your hands, or if it has been
raining on the Passive Entry door handle, the unlock
sensitivity can be affected, resulting in a slower re-
sponse time.
• If the vehicle is unlocked by Passive Entry and no door
goes ajar within 60 seconds, the vehicle will re-lock
and will arm the theft alarm (if equipped).
