IGNITION SWITCH
Push Button Start
Positions
The system operates only when the key
fob is within operational range.
Each time the keyless ignition
START/STOP button is pushed, the
ignition cycles in the order of OFF, ACC,
and ON. Pushing the START/STOP
button again from ON position cycles
the ignition to the OFF position.
Note:
The engine starts by pushing the
keyless ignition START/STOP button
while depressing the clutch pedal
(manual transmission) or the brake
pedal (automatic transmission). To
change the ignition position, push the keyless ignition START/STOP button
without depressing the clutch or brake
pedal.
Do not leave the ignition in the ON
position while the engine is not
running, doing so could result in the
battery being discharged. If the ignition
is left in ACC position (for automatic
transmission, the gear selector is in the
P position, and the ignition is in ACC),
the ignition cycles to the OFF position
automatically after about 25 minutes.
OFF
The power supply to electrical devices
turns off and the keyless ignition start
indicator light (amber) also turns off. In
the OFF position, the steering wheel is
locked.
ACC (Accessory)
Some electrical accessories will operate
and the indicator light (amber)
illuminates. In the ACC position, the
steering wheel is unlocked.
The Keyless Entry System does not
function while the keyless ignition has
been placed in the ACC position, and
the doors will not lock/unlock even if
they have been locked manually.
ON
This is the normal running position after
the engine is started. Note:
The indicator light (amber) turns off (the
indicator light amber illuminates when
the ignition has been placed in the ON
position and the engine is not running).
Some indicator lights/warning lights
should be inspected before the engine
is started.
When the keyless ignition has been
placed in the ON position, the sound of
the fuel pump motor operating near the
fuel tank can be heard. This does not
indicate an abnormality.
Warning!
Never use the PARK position as a
substitute for the parking brake. Always
apply the parking brake fully when parked
to guard against vehicle movement and
possible injury or damage.
When leaving the vehicle, always make
sure the ignition is in the OFF mode,
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.
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 transmission 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 in
the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.
Be sure the parking brake is fully
disengaged before driving; failure to do so
can lead to brake failure and a collision.
Always fully apply the parking brake
when leaving your vehicle, or it may roll
and cause damage or injury. Also be
certain to leave the transmission in PARK.
Failure to do so may allow the vehicle to
roll and cause damage or injury.
Driving the vehicle with the parking
brake engaged, or repeated use of the
parking brake to slow the vehicle may
cause serious damage to the brake
system.

Modifications And
Add-On Equipment
FCA cannot guarantee the immobilizer
and the Security Alarm System
operation if the system has been
modified or if any add-on equipment
has been installed.
Note:To avoid damage to the vehicle,
do not modify the system or install any
add-on equipment to the immobilizer
and the Security Alarm System or the
vehicle.
Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system allows the
engine to start only with a key fob the
system recognizes.
If someone attempts to start the engine
with an unrecognized key fob, the
engine will not start, thereby helping to
prevent unlawful vehicle use.
If you have a problem with the
immobilizer system or the key fob,
contact an Authorized Dealership.
To avoid damage to the key fob, do not:
Drop the key fob.
Get the key fob wet.
Expose the key fob to any kind of
magnetic field.
Expose the key fob to high
temperatures on places such as the
instrument panel, hood, or under direct
sunlight.
Note:
Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void
the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
If the engine does not start with the
correct key fob, and thewarning
light keeps illuminating or flashing, the
system may have a malfunction.
Contact an Authorized Dealership.
The key fobs carry a unique
electronic code. For this reason, and to
assure your safety, obtaining a
replacement key fob can only be done
through your Authorized Dealership,
and will require some waiting time.
Always keep a spare key fob in
case one is lost. If a key fob is lost,
contact an Authorized Dealership as
soon as possible.
If you lose a key fob, an Authorized
Dealership will reset the electronic
codes of your remaining key fobs and
immobilizer system. Bring all the
remaining key fobs to an Authorized
Dealership to reset. Starting the vehicle
with a key fob that has not been reset
is not possible. Operation
The engine may not start and
warning light may illuminate or flash
if the key fob is placed in an area where
it is difficult for the system to detect the
signal, such as on the instrument panel.
Move the key fob to a location within
the signal range, cycle the ignition off,
and then restart the engine.
Note: Signals from a TV, radio station,
transceiver, or mobile telephone could
interfere with your immobilizer system. If
you are using the proper key fob and
the engine fails to start, check the
warning light.
Arming
The system is armed when the ignition
is cycled from the ON to OFF position.
The
warning light in the instrument
cluster flashes every two seconds until
the system is disarmed.
Disarming
The system is disarmed when the
ignition is placed in the ON position with
the correct programmed key fob. The
warning light illuminates for about
three seconds and then turns off. If the
engine does not start with the correct
key fob, and the
warning light
remains illuminated or flashing, try the
following:
Make sure the key fob is within the
operational range for signal
transmission.
