KEYLESS ENTER-N-GO™
The Passive Entry system is an enhancement to the
vehicle’s Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system and a
feature of Keyless Enter-N-Go™. This feature allows
you to lock and unlock the vehicle’s door(s) without
having to press the RKE transmitter lock or unlock
buttons.
NOTE:
• Passive Entry may be programmed ON/OFF; refer to“Uconnect® Settings” in “Knowing Your Vehicle” 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 the RKE transmitter or Passive Entry and no door goes ajar within 60 sec-
onds, the vehicle will re-lock and will arm the theft
alarm. To Unlock From The Driver's Side:
With a valid Passive Entry RKE transmitter within
1.5 m of the driver's door handle, grab the driver's
front door handle to unlock the driver's door auto-
matically. The interior door panel lock knob will raise
when the door is unlocked.
(fig. 99)
NOTE:
If “Unlock All Doors 1st Press” is pro-
grammed all doors will unlock when you grab hold of
the driver’s front door handle. To select between
“Unlock Driver Door 1st Press” and “Unlock All
Doors 1st Press”, refer to “Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC)/Personal Settings (Customer-
Programmable Features)” in “Knowing Your Vehicle”

Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of Passive
Entry RKE Transmitter In Vehicle
To minimize the possibility of unintentionally locking a
Passive Entry RKE transmitter inside your vehicle, the
Passive Entry system is equipped with an automatic
door unlock feature which will function if the ignition
switch is in the OFF position.
If one of the vehicle doors is open and the door panel
switch is used to lock the vehicle, once all open doors
have been closed the vehicle checks the inside and
outside of the vehicle for any valid Passive Entry RKE
transmitters. If one of the vehicle's Passive Entry RKE
transmitters is detected inside the vehicle, and no
other valid Passive Entry RKE transmitters are de-
tected outside the vehicle, the Passive Entry System
automatically unlocks all vehicle doors and chirps the
horn three times (on the third attempt ALL doors will
lock and the Passive Entry RKE transmitter can be
locked in the vehicle).To Lock The Vehicle’s Doors
With one of the vehicle’s Passive Entry RKE transmit-
ters within 1.5 m of the driver or passenger front door
handle, press the door handle LOCK button to lock all
four doors and liftgate.

Do NOT grab the door handle, when pressing the door
handle lock button. This could unlock the door(s).
(fig. 102)
NOTE:
• After pressing the door handle LOCK button, youmust wait two seconds before you can lock or unlock
the doors, using either Passive Entry door handle.
This is done to allow you to check if the vehicle is
locked by pulling the door handle, without the ve-
hicle reacting and unlocking.
• If Passive Entry is disabled using Uconnect® System, the key protection described in "Preventing Inadver-
tent Locking of Passive Entry RKE Transmitter in
Vehicle" remains active/functional.
• The Passive Entry system will not operate if the RKE transmitter battery is dead.
The vehicle doors can also be locked by using the RKE
transmitter lock button or the lock button located on
the vehicle’s interior door panel.

windows down, or the sunroof (for versions/markets,
where provided) in certain open or partially open
positions. This is a normal occurrence and can be
minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the rear win-
dows open, then open the front and rear windows
together to minimize the buffeting. If the buffeting
occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof
opening to minimize the buffeting or open any window.

• Driving with the liftgate open can al-
low poison

ous exhaust gases into your
vehicle. These fumes could injure you and your
passengers. Keep the liftgate closed when you are
operating the vehicle.
• If you are required to drive with the liftgate
open, make sure that all windows are closed, and
the blower switch on the climate control is set at
high speed. Do not use the recirculation mode.

To prevent possible damage:
•Before closing hood, make sure the
hood prop rod is fully seated into its
storage retaining clips.
• Do not slam the hood to close it . Use a firm
downward push at the center front edge of the
hood to ensure that both latches engage. Never
drive your vehicle unless the hood is fully closed,
with both latches engaged.
WARNING!
Be sure the hood is fully latched before
driving y

our vehicle. If the hood is not
fully latched, it could open when the vehicle is in
motion and block your vision. Failure to follow
this warning could result in serious injury or
death.
ROOF LUGGAGE RACK
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
The roof rack side rails on your vehicle are NOT
designed to carry a load without the addition of cross-
bars. Metal Crossbars can be purchased from your
FIAT dealer to provide a functional roof rack system.
External racks do not increase the total load carrying
capacity of the vehicle. Be sure that the total occupant
and luggage load inside the vehicle plus the load on the
luggage rack do not exceed the maximum vehicle load
capacity.
The roof rack cross rails and side rails together are
designed to carry cargo weight. The load must not
exceed 150 pounds or 68 kg, and it should be distrib-
uted uniformly over the cross rails.
WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied before driv-
ing y our

vehicle. Improperly secured
loads can fly off the vehicle, particularly at high
speeds, resulting in personal injury or property
damage. Follow the roof rack cautions when
carrying cargo on your roof rack.

WARNING!
• Riding the brakes can lead to brake
failure an

d possibly a collision. Driving
with your foot resting or riding on the brake
pedal can result in abnormally high brake tem-
peratures, excessive lining wear, and possible
brake damage.You would not have your full brak-
ing capacity in an emergency.
• Driving a vehicle with the “Brake Warning
Light” on is dangerous. A significant decrease in
braking performance or vehicle stability during
brakingmayoccur.Itwilltakeyoulongertostop
the vehicle or will make your vehicle harder to
control. You could have a collision. Have the ve-
hicle checked immediately. ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
This system aids the driver in maintaining vehicle con-
trol under adverse braking conditions. The system
controls hydraulic brake pressure to prevent wheel
lock-up to help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces
during braking. Refer to “Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS)” under “Knowing Your Vehicle/Electronic Brake
Control System” for further information.
WARNING!
The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws
of physi cs

from acting on the vehicle, nor
can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing
road conditions. ABS cannot prevent accidents,
including those resulting from excessive speed in
turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydro-
planing. The capabilities of an ABS-equipped
vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or
dangerous manner, which could jeopardize the
user's safety or the safety of others.

ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL
SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced electronic
brake control system commonly referred to as ESC.
This system includes Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS),
Brake Assist System (BAS), Traction Control System
(TCS), Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM), Electronic
Stability Control (ESC), Trailer Sway Control (TSC)
and Hill Start Assist (HSA). These systems work to-
gether to enhance both vehicle stability and control in
various driving conditions.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) provides increased
vehicle stability and brake performance under most
braking conditions. The system automatically “pumps”
the brakes during severe braking conditions to prevent
wheel lock-up.
When the vehicle is driven over 11 km/h, you may also
hear a slight clicking sound as well as some related
motor noises. These noises are the system performing
its self check cycle to ensure that the ABS is working
properly. This self check occurs each time the vehicle is
started and accelerated past 11 km/h.ABS is activated during braking under certain road or
stopping conditions. ABS-inducing conditions can in-
clude ice, snow, gravel, bumps, railroad tracks, loose
debris, or panic stops.
You also may experience the following when the brake
system goes into Anti-lock:
• The ABS motor running (it may continue to run for a
short time after the stop)
• The clicking sound of solenoid valves
• Brake pedal pulsations
• A slight drop or fall away of the brake pedal at the end of the stop
These are all normal characteristics of ABS.
WARNING!
•
The ABS contains sophisticated elec-
tronic equipment that may be susceptible
to interference caused by improperly installed or
high output radio transmitting equipment . This
interference can cause possible loss of anti-lock
braking capability. Installation of such equipment
should be performed by qualified professionals.
