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:

NOTE:
You must press and hold the brake pedal
while shifting out of PARK.
Ignition Park Interlock
Vehicles with push button start:
This vehicle is equipped with an Ignition
Park Interlock which requires the transmis-
sion to be in PARK before the ignition can be
turned to the OFF mode. This helps the
driver avoid inadvertently leaving the vehicle
without placing the transmission in PARK.
This system also locks the transmission in
PARK whenever the ignition is in the OFF
mode.
Vehicles with mechanical key:
This vehicle is equipped with a Key Ignition
Park Interlock which requires the transmis -
sion to be in PARK before the ignition can be
turned to the OFF (key removal) position. The
key can only be removed from the ignition when the ignition is in the OFF position, and
the transmission is locked in PARK whenever
the ignition is in the OFF position.
If the vehicle's battery becomes discharged,
the key will be trapped in the ignition even
when the gear selector is in PARK. Recharge
the battery to allow key removal.
Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock
System
This vehicle is equipped with a Brake Trans
-
mission Shift Interlock system (BTSI) that
holds the transmission gear selector in PARK
unless the brakes are applied. To shift the
transmission out of PARK, the ignition must
be in the ON/RUN mode (whether the engine
is running or not), and the brake pedal must
be pressed. The brake pedal must also be
pressed to shift from NEUTRAL into DRIVE
or REVERSE when the vehicle is stopped or
moving at low speeds.
Nine-Speed Automatic Transmission
The transmission gear range (PRND) is
displayed both beside the gear selector and
in the instrument cluster. To select a gear
range, push the lock button on the gear
selector and move the selector rearward or
forward. You must also press the brake pedal
Never leave children alone in a vehicle,
or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unat -
tended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seri -
ously or fatally injured. Children should
be warned not to touch the park 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 a vehicle equipped with push button
start) in the ON/RUN mode. A child
could operate power windows, other
controls, or move the vehicle.
CAUTION!
Damage to the transmission may occur if
the following precautions are not observed:
Shift into or out of PARK or REVERSE
only after the vehicle has come to a
complete stop.
Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE,
NEUTRAL, or DRIVE when the engine is
above idle speed.
WARNING! (Continued)
Before shifting into any gear, make sure
your foot is firmly pressing the brake
pedal.

tions), the transmission may use SECOND
gear (rather than FIRST gear) during
launches, to minimize wheel slippage.
SAND: For off-road driving or use on
surfaces with poor traction, such as dry
sand. The transmission is set to provide
maximum traction.
MUD: For off-road driving or use on
surfaces with poor traction, such as roads
covered by mud or wet grass.
ROCK (Trailhawk only): This mode is only
available in 4WD LOW range. The device
sets the vehicle to maximize traction and
allow the highest steering capacity for
off-road surfaces. This mode gives you the
maximum performance off-road. Use for
low speed obstacles such as large rocks,
deep ruts, etc.
NOTE:
Rock mode is only available on the vehi -
cles equipped with the Off-Road package.
Activate the Hill Descent Control for steep
downhill control. See “Electronic Brake
Control System” in “Safety” for further
information.
STOP/START SYSTEM — IF
EQUIPPED
The Stop/Start function is developed to
reduce fuel consumption. The system will
stop the engine automatically during a
vehicle stop if the required conditions are
met. Releasing the brake pedal, clutch pedal
or pressing the accelerator pedal will auto -
matically re-start the engine.
Operating Modes
Engine Stopping Mode
Models equipped with a manual transmis -
sion:
With the vehicle stopped, the engine stops
with transmission in neutral and clutch
pedal released.
Models equipped with an automatic trans -
mission:
With vehicle at a standstill and brake pedal
pressed, the engine switches off if the gear
selector is in a position other than REVERSE.
In the event of stops uphill, the engine
switching will be disabled to activate the
"Hill Start Assist" function (works only with
the engine running).
The warning light on the instrument panel
switches on to signal that the engine was
stopped.
WARNING!
Before opening the hood, make sure that
the engine is off and that the ignition is in
the OFF mode. Follow the indications on
the plate underneath the hood. We
recommend that you remove the key fob if
other people remain in the vehicle. The
vehicle should only be exited after the key
fob has been removed and the ignition is
in the OFF mode. During refueling, make
sure that the engine is off (ignition device
in the OFF mode).
CAUTION!
When replacing the battery, always contact
your authorized dealer. Replace the battery
with the same type (HEAVY DUTY) and
with the same specifications.
