GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
KEYS
Key Fobs
Your vehicle uses either a key start ignition
system or keyless ignition system. The igni-
tion system consists of a key fob with a
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and an ignition
switch. The keyless ignition system consists
of a key fob and Keyless Enter-N-Go button.
NOTE:
The key fob may not be found if it is located
next to a mobile phone, laptop or other elec -
tronic device; these devices may block the
key fob’s wireless signal. The key fob allows you to lock or unlock the
doors and liftgate from distances up to
approximately 66 ft (20 m) using a handheld
key fob. The key fob does not need to be
pointed at the vehicle to activate the system.
Keyless Ignition Key Fob Key Fob With An Integrated Vehicle Key
NOTE:
In case the ignition switch does not change
with the push of a button, the key fob may
have a low or fully depleted battery. A low key
fob battery can be verified by referring to the
instrument cluster, which will display direc -
tions to follow.
The keyless ignition key fob also includes an
emergency key, which stores in the rear of
the key fob.
CAUTION!
The electrical components inside of the
key fob may be damaged if the key fob is
subjected to strong electrical shocks. In
order to ensure complete efficiency of the
electronic devices inside of the key fob,
avoid exposing the key fob to direct
sunlight.

The emergency key allows for entry into the
vehicle should the battery in the vehicle or
the key fob become depleted. The emer-
gency key is also for locking the glove
compartment. You can keep the emergency
key with you when valet parking.
To remove the emergency key from the
keyless ignition key fob, slide the mechan -
ical latch at the top of the key fob sideways
with your thumb and then pull the key out
with your other hand.
To Unlock The Doors And Liftgate
Push and release the unlock button on the
key fob once to unlock the driver's door or
twice within five seconds to unlock all doors
and the liftgate.
All doors can be programmed to unlock on
the first push of the unlock button. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in the
Owner’s Manual for further information.
To Lock The Doors And Liftgate
Push and release the lock button on the key
fob to lock all doors and liftgate.
Request For Additional Key Fobs
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.
NOTE:
Used batteries may be harmful to the envi -
ronment if not disposed of correctly. Always
dispose of used batteries by specialized
battery disposal container, or by taking used
batteries to an authorized dealer. Duplication of key fobs may be performed at
an authorized dealer. This procedure
consists of programming a blank key fob to
the vehicle electronics. A blank key fob is
one that has never been programmed.
NOTE:
When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer
System serviced, bring all vehicle keys with
you to an authorized dealer.
IGNITION SWITCH
Keyless Enter-N-Go — Ignition (If
Equipped)
This feature allows the driver to operate the
ignition with the push of a button as long as
the key fob is in the passenger compartment.
The START/STOP push button ignition has
three operating modes. The three modes are
OFF, ON/RUN, and START.
NOTE:
If the ignition state/mode does not change
with the push of a button, the key fob may
have a low or depleted battery. In this situa
-
tion, a back up method can be used to
operate the ignition switch. Put the nose side
WARNING!
Push the Mechanical Key Release Button
only with the key fob facing away from
your body, especially your eyes and objects
that may be damaged, such as clothing. WARNING!
Always remove the key fobs from the
vehicle and lock all doors when leaving
the vehicle unattended.
For vehicles equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go — Ignition, always
remember to place the ignition in the
OFF mode.

PREMIUM VEHICLE
SECURITY ALARM — IF
EQUIPPED
The premium vehicle security alarm system
monitors the doors, hood latch, and liftgate
for unauthorized entry and the ignition
switch for unauthorized operation. The
system also includes a dual function intru -
sion sensor and vehicle tilt sensor. The intru -
sion sensor monitors the vehicle interior for
motion. The vehicle tilt sensor monitors the
vehicle for any tilting actions (tow away, tire
removal, ferry transport, etc). A siren with
battery backup which senses interruptions of
power and communications is also included.
If a perimeter violation triggers the security
system, the siren will sound for 29 seconds
and the exterior lights will flash followed by
approximately five seconds of no activity.
This will continue for eight cycles if no action
is taken to disarm the system.
