IGNITION OR ACCESSORY
ON MESSAGE
Opening the driver's door when the
ignition is in ACC or ON (engine not
running), a chime will sound to re-
mind you to cycle the ignition to OFF.
In addition to the chime, the ignition
or accessory on message will display
in the cluster.
NOTE:
With the Uconnect Touch™
system, the power window switches,
radio, power sunroof (for versions/
markets, where provided), and
power outlets will remain active for
up to 10 minutes after the ignition is
cycled to the OFF position. Opening
either front door will cancel this fea-
ture. The time for this feature is pro-
grammable. Refer to “Uconnect
Touch™ Settings” in “Understand-
ing Your Instrument Panel” for fur-
ther information.
WARNING!
 When leaving the vehicle, always remove the Key Fob from the
vehicle and lock your vehicle.
 Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an un-
locked vehicle.
 Allowing children to be in a ve- hicle 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 park-
ing brake, brake pedal or the shift
lever.
 Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location
accessible to children, and do not
leave Keyless Enter­N­Go™ in
the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A
child could operate power win-
dows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
Do not leave children or animals
inside parked vehicles in hot
weather. Interior heat build-up
may cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
An unlocked car is an invitation to
thieves. Always remove the Key
Fob from vehicle, cycle the ignition
OFF and lock all doors when leav-
ing the vehicle unattended.
SENTRY KEY®
The Sentry Key® Immobilizer System
prevents unauthorized vehicle oper-
ation by disabling the engine. The
system does not need to be armed or
activated. Operation is automatic,
regardless of whether the vehicle is
locked or unlocked.
The system uses a Key Fob with
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) trans-
mitter, a Keyless Ignition Node (KIN)
and a RF receiver to prevent unau-
thorized vehicle operation. Therefore,
only Key Fobs that are programmed
to the vehicle can be used to start and
operate the vehicle.After placing the ignition in the ON/
RUN position, the Vehicle Security

Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of
Passive Entry RKE Transmitter In
Vehicle
To minimize the possibility of unin-
tentionally locking a Passive Entry
RKE transmitter inside your vehicle,
the Passive Entry system is equipped
with an automatic door unlock fea-
ture 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 in-
side 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 detected
outside the vehicle, the Passive Entry
System automatically unlocks all ve-
hicle 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). NOTE: The vehicle will only un-
lock the doors when the doors are
locked using the door panel
switch, a valid Passive Entry RKE
transmitter is detected inside the
vehicle, and no valid Passive Entry
RKE transmitter is detected out-
side the vehicle. The vehicle will
not unlock the doors when any of
the following conditions are true:
 The doors are locked using the
RKE transmitter.
 The doors are locked using the LOCK button on the Passive En-
try door handles.
 The doors are manually locked using the door lock knobs.
 There is a valid Passive Entry RKE transmitter outside the ve-
hicle and within 1.5 m of either
Passive Entry door handle.
 Three attempts are made to lock the doors using the door panel
switch and then close the doors.

NOTE: For vehicles equipped
with the Uconnect Touch™, the
power window switches will re-
main active for up to 10 minutes
after the ignition is cycled to the
OFF position. Opening either front
door will cancel this feature. The
time is programmable. Refer to
“Uconnect Touch™ Settings” in
“Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.WARNING!
Never leave children in a vehicle
with the Key Fob. Occupants, par-
ticularly unattended children, can
become entrapped by the windows
while operating the power window
switches. Such entrapment may re-
sult in serious injury or death.
AUTO-Down FeatureThe driver door power window switch
and some model passenger door power
window switches have an AUTO-down
feature. Press the window switch to the
second detent, release, and the window
will go down automatically.
To open the window part way, press
the window switch to the first detent
and release it when you want the
window to stop.
To stop the window from going all the
way down during the AUTO-down
operation, pull up on the switch
briefly.
AUTO-Up Feature With
Anti-Pinch Protection
(for versions/markets, where
provided)
Lift the window switch to the second
detent, release, and the window will
go up automatically.
To stop the window from going all the
way up during the AUTO-up opera-
tion, push down on the switch briefly.
To close the window part way, lift the
window switch to the first detent and
release it when you want the window
to stop. NOTE:

If the window runs into any ob-
stacle during auto-closure, it will
reverse direction and then go
back down. Remove the obstacle
and use the window switch again
to close the window. Any impact due to rough road
conditions may trigger the auto-
reverse function unexpectedly
during auto-closure. If this hap-
pens, pull the switch lightly to
the first detent and hold to close
the window manually.WARNING!
There is no anti-pinch protection
when the window is almost closed.
Be sure to clear all objects from the
window before closing.

Reset Auto-Up
Should the Auto Up feature stop
working, the window probably needs
to be reset. To reset Auto Up:
1.
Pull the window switch up to close
the window completely and continue
to hold the switch up for an additional
two seconds after the window is closed.
2. Push the window switch down
firmly to the second detent to open the
window completely and continue to
hold the switch down for an addi-
tional two seconds after the window is
fully open.
Window Lockout Switch
The window lockout switch on the
driver's door trim panel allows you to
disable the window controls on the
rear passenger doors and the rear sun-
screen (for versions/markets, where
provided). To disable the window
controls and the rear sunscreen, press
and release the window lockout but-
ton (setting it in the DOWN position).
To enable the window controls and
the rear sunscreen, press and release
the window lockout button again (set-
ting it in the UP position). WIND BUFFETING
Wind buffeting can be described as the
perception of pressure on the ears or a
helicopter-type sound in the ears. Your
vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting
with the windows down, or the sunroof
(for versions/markets, where pro-
vided) in certain open or partially open
positions. This is a normal occurrence
and can be minimized. If the buffeting
occurs with the rear windows open,
then open the front and rear windows
together to minimize the buffeting. If
the buffeting occurs with the sunroof
open, then adjust the sunroof opening
to minimize the buffeting.
TRUNK LOCK AND
RELEASE
The trunk lid can be released from
inside the vehicle by pressing the
TRUNK RELEASE button located on
the instrument panel to the left of the
steering wheel.
NOTE: The transmission must be
in PARK before the button will op-
erate.
The trunk lid
can be released
from outside
the vehicle by
pressing the
TRUNK button
on the Remote
Keyless Entry
(RKE) trans-
mitter twice
within five seconds or by using the
external release switch located on the
underside of the decklid overhang. The
release feature will function only when
the vehicle is in the unlock condition.

Service Active Hood System
If the ORC has deployed the Active
Hood, or if it detects a malfunction in
any part of the system, it turns on the
Air Bag Warning Light and it will
display the “SERVICE ACTIVE
HOOD” message in the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC),
for versions/markets, where pro-
vided. A single chime will sound if the
Air Bag Warning Light comes on
again after initial startup. It also in-
cludes diagnostics that will illuminate
the Air Bag Warning Light if a mal-
function is noted that could affect the
Active Hood system. The diagnostics
also record the nature of the malfunc-
tion. If the Air Bag Warning Light is
illuminated, or if “SERVICE ACTIVE
HOOD” appears in the EVIC, see
your authorized dealer.In the event of an Active Hood deploy-
ment, the vehicle should be serviced by
an authorized dealer. The hood hinges
must be serviced and the actuator as-
semblies replaced to restore system
functionality.
Following an Active Hood deploy-
ment, the hood position can be tem-
porarily reset by pushing down at the
rear edge over the hood hinges as the
internal pressure of each actuator is
relieved. The temporary hood reset
position is intended to improve for-
ward driving visibility over the hood
until the vehicle can be serviced. The
temporary hood reset position will
leave the hood approximately 5 mm
above the fender surface.
The front bumper assembly may af-
fect proper operation of the Active
Hood system. The front bumper com-
ponents should be inspected for dam-
age and replaced if necessary in the
event of a frontal impact, even if it
occurs at a low rate of speed.NOTE: After any Active Hood
deployment, the vehicle should
be taken to an authorized dealer
immediately.
CAUTION!To prevent possible damage, do not
slam the rear of the hood to reset it.
Press the rear of the hood down until
it is approximately 5 mm above the
fender. This should secure both hood
hinge reset mechanisms.WARNING!
Ignoring the Air Bag Warning
Light in your instrument panel or
the “SERVICE ACTIVE HOOD”
message in the EVIC could mean
you won’t have the Active Hood to
enhance pedestrian protection. If
the light does not come on as a
bulb check when the ignition is
first turned on, stays on after you
start the vehicle, or if it comes on
as you drive, see your authorized
dealer.
