2. Separating key fob halves requires screw removal (ifequipped) and gently prying the two halves of the
key fob apart with the emergency key. Make sure not
to damage the seal during removal.
3. Remove the battery by turning the back cover over (battery facing downward) and tapping it lightly on
a solid surface such as a table or similar surface.
Then, replace the battery.
When replacing the battery, match the + sign on the
battery to the + sign on the inside of the battery clip,
located on the back cover. Avoid touching the new
battery with your fingers. Skin oils may cause battery deterioration. If you touch a battery, clean it with
rubbing alcohol.
To assemble the key fob case, snap the two halves
together and insert the emergency key.

NOTE:
Only key fobs that are programmed to the
vehicle electronics can be used to start and operate the
vehicle. Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, it
cannot be programmed to any other vehicle.

engine to crank if an invalid key fob tries to start the
engine.
After placing the ignition to the ON/RUN position, if
there is a problem with the system, the vehicle security
light will turn on. This condition will result in the
engine being shut off after two seconds.
Should this occur, have the vehicle serviced as soon as
possible by an authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
•Do not make modifications or alterations to the
immobilizer system. Modifications or alterations
to the immobilization system may result in a loss
of security protection.
• The Sentry Key Immobilizer system is not com-
patible with some aftermarket remote starting
systems. Use of these systems may result in
vehicle starting problems and loss of security
protection.

Auto On Comfort — If Equipped
If the external temperature is below 40 °F (5 °C) at each
start-up of the vehicle the heated steering wheel func-
tionality is turned on.
WARNING!
•Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin
because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabe-
tes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use,
exhaustion, or other physical conditions must
exercise care when using the steering wheel
heater. It may cause burns even at low tempera-
tures, especially if used for long periods.
• Do not place anything on the steering wheel that
insulates against heat, such as a blanket or steer-
ing wheel covers of any type and material. This
may cause the steering wheel heater to overheat.
MIRRORS
Inside Day/Night Mirror
The mirror can be adjusted up, down, left, and right.
The mirror should be adjusted to center on the view
through the rear window. Headlight glare from vehicles behind you can be reduced by moving the lever under
the mirror to the night position (toward the rear of the
vehicle). The mirror should be adjusted while the lever
under the mirror is set in the day position (toward the
windshield).
NOTE:
The mirror will automatically release in the
event of heavy contact with a passenger.
Auto Dimming Mirror — If Equipped
This mirror automatically adjusts for headlight glare
from vehicles behind you. You can turn the feature on
or off by pushing the button at the base of the mirror. A
light to the left of the button will illuminate to indicate

Folding Mirror
The exterior mirrors are hinged to allow the mirror to
pivot forward or rearward to help avoid damage. The
mirror has three detent positions: full forward, normal
and full rearward.
Heated Mirrors — If Equipped
These mirrors are heated to melt frost or ice. This
feature can be activated whenever you turn on
the Rear Window Defroster.
BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) — IF
EQUIPPED
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system uses two
radar-based sensors, located inside the rear bumper
fascia, to detect highway licensable vehicles (automo-
biles, trucks, motorcycles, etc.) that enter the blind spot
zones from the rear/front/side of the vehicle.
When the vehicle is started, the BSM warning light will
momentarily illuminate in both outside rear view mir-
rors to let the driver know that the system is opera-
tional. The BSM system sensors operate when the

vehicle is in any forward gear or REVERSE and enters
stand-by mode when the vehicle is in PARK.
The BSM detection zone covers approximately one lane
width on both sides of the vehicle, 10 ft (3 m). The zone
length starts at the outside mirror and extends approxi-
mately 20 ft (6 m) beyond the rear bumper of the
vehicle. The BSM system monitors the detection zones
on both sides of the vehicle when the vehicle speed
reaches approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or higher and
will alert the driver of vehicles in these areas.
NOTE:
•The BSM system does NOT alert the driver about
rapidly approaching vehicles that are outside the
detection zones.
• If a trailer is connected to the vehicle, it is necessary
to deactivate BSM system manually by settings menu
to avoid a miss-detection. Refer to “Uconnect Set-
tings” in “Multimedia” for further information.
The area on the rear fascia where the radar sensors are
located must remain free of snow, ice, and dirt/road
contamination so that the BSM system can function properly. Do not block the radar sensors located on the
rear fascia with foreign objects (bumper stickers, bicycle
racks, etc.).
The BSM system notifies the driver of objects in the
detection zones by illuminating the BSM warning light
located in the outside mirrors in addition to sounding
an audible (chime) alert and reducing the radio volume.
Refer to “Modes Of Operation” in this section for
further information.

Overtaking Traffic
If you pass another vehicle slowly with a relative speed
less than 15 mph (25 km/h) and the vehicle remains in
the blind spot for approximately 1.5 seconds, the warn-
ing light will be illuminated. If the difference in speed
between the two vehicles is greater than 15 mph
(25 km/h), the warning light will not illuminate.

Mode Of Operation
Three selectable modes of operation are available in the
Uconnect System. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in
“Multimedia” for further information.
Blind Spot Alert Lights Only
When operating in Blind Spot Alert mode, the BSM
system will provide a visual alert in the appropriate
side view mirror based on a detected object. However,
when the system is operating in Rear Cross Path (RCP)
mode, the system will respond with both visual and
audible alerts when a detected object is present. When-
ever an audible alert is requested, the radio is muted.
Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime
When operating in Blind Spot Alert Lights/Chime
mode, the BSM system will provide a visual alert in the
appropriate side view mirror based on a detected object.
If the turn signal is then activated, and it corresponds to
an alert present on that side of the vehicle, an audible
chime will also be sounded. Whenever a turn signal and
detected object are present on the same side at the same
time, both the visual and audible alerts will be issued.
In addition to the audible alert, the radio (if on) will also
be muted.NOTE:
Whenever an audible alert is requested by the
BSM system, the radio is also muted.
When the system is in RCP, the system will respond
with both visual and audible alerts when a detected
object is present. Whenever an audible alert is re-
quested, the radio is also muted. Turn/hazard signal
status is ignored; the RCP state always requests the
chime.
Blind Spot Alert Off
When the BSM system is turned off, there will be no
visual or audible alerts from either the BSM or RCP
systems.
NOTE: The BSM system will store the current operating
mode when the vehicle is shut off. Each time the vehicle
is started the previously stored mode will be recalled
and used.
