Using The Panic Alarm
To turn the Panic Alarm feature on or off, push the Panic
button on the key fob. When the Panic Alarm is activated, the
turn signals will flash, the horn will pulse on and off, and the
interior lights will turn on.
The Panic Alarm will stay on for three minutes unless you
turn it off by either pushing the Panic button a second time
or drive the vehicle at a speed of 15 mph (24 km/h) or
greater.
NOTE:
• The interior lights will turn off if you place the ignition inthe ACC or ON/RUN position while the Panic Alarm is
activated. However, the exterior lights and horn will
remain on.
• You may need to be less than 35 ft (11 m) from the vehicle when using the key fob to turn off the Panic Alarm due to
the radio frequency noises emitted by the system.
Air Suspension (Remote Lowering Of The Vehicle) — If
Equipped For easy entry and loading, your vehicle can be
lowered by pushing the key fob air suspension
lowering button two times. When key fob lowering is requested, the vehicle will send a series of chirps and flashes
to alert the customer that the operation has begun and will
continue these alerts until it successfully lowers.
The following conditions must be met for the vehicle to
lower remotely:
• The vehicle must not already be in Entry/Exit (Park) ride
height.
• The vehicle battery must be fully charged.
• All doors must be closed.
• The key fob must be out of the vehicle.
NOTE:
Ensure the vehicle is clear of all objects, pets, and people
prior to remote lowering.
Canceling Remote Lowering
Vehicle lowering can be cancelled at anytime. When vehicle
lowering is cancelled, the vehicle will raise up to the next
defined level and lock out the remote lowering feature until
the ignition has been cycled ON/OFF.

SENTRY KEY
The Sentry Key Immobilizer system prevents unauthorized
vehicle operation 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, keyless push button ignition and
a Radio Frequency (RF) receiver to prevent unauthorized
vehicle operation. Therefore, only key fobs that are
programmed to the vehicle can be used to start and operate
the vehicle. The system cannot reprogram a key fob obtained
from another vehicle.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON/RUN position,
the vehicle security light will turn on for three seconds for a
bulb check. If the light remains on after the bulb check, it
indicates that there is a problem with the electronics. In addi-
tion, if the light begins to flash after the bulb check, it indi -
cates that someone attempted to start the engine with an
invalid key fob. In the event that a valid key fob is used to
start the engine but there is an issue with the vehicle elec -
tronics, the engine will start and shut off after two seconds. If the vehicle security light turns on during normal vehicle
operation (vehicle running for longer than ten seconds), it
indicates that there is a fault in the electronics. Should this
occur, have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible by an
authorized dealer.
All of the key fobs provided with your new vehicle have
been programmed to the vehicle electronics.
Key Programming
Programming key fobs may be performed at an authorized
dealer.
CAUTION!
The Sentry Key Immobilizer system is not compatible
with some aftermarket remote starting systems. Use of
these systems may result in vehicle starting problems
and loss of security protection.

Replacement Keys
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:
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.
When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer System serviced,
bring all vehicle keys with you to an authorized dealer.

Power Side Steps — If Equipped
The Power Side Steps will extend a step for easier entry and
exit of the vehicle.
When configured for “Auto” mode, the Power Side Steps
will deploy when any of the doors are opened, or when the
deploy setting is activated through the touchscreen. When
configured for “Store” mode, the steps will stay in their posi-
tion but can also be deployed manually through the radio.
If the vehicle speed exceeds 5 mph (8 km/h), or if the retract
setting is selected in the touchscreen, the steps will retract.
Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for additional
information.
Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry
The Passive Entry system is an enhancement to the vehicle’s
Remote Keyless Entry 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 push the key fob lock or
unlock buttons. NOTE:
• Passive Entry may be programmed on/off. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further informa -
tion.
• If wearing gloves on your hands, or if it has been raining/ snowing on the Passive Entry door handle, the unlock
sensitivity can be affected, resulting in a slower response
time.
• If the vehicle is unlocked by Passive Entry and no door is opened within 60 seconds, the vehicle will re-lock and if
equipped will arm the security alarm.
• The vehicles security alarm can be armed/disarmed by pushing the passive entry key fob lock/unlock buttons (if
equipped).
• The key fob may not be able to be detected by the vehicle passive entry system if it is located next to a mobile phone,
laptop or other electronic device; these devices may block
the key fob's wireless signal and prevent the passive entry
handle from locking/unlocking the vehicle.

Do NOT grab the door handle when pushing the door
handle lock button. This could unlock the door(s).Do NOT Grab The Door Handle When Locking
NOTE:
• After pushing the door handle lock button, you must 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 vehicle reacting and unlocking.
• The Passive Entry system depends on a key fob that is not fully discharged of its coin battery capacity. • The LED light on the key fob will not blink if the key fob
battery is low or fully depleted, but a low key fob battery
condition will still support the Passive Entry system func -
tionality. When the key fob battery is low, the instrument
cluster will display a message indicating that the key fob
battery is low. Refer to “Keys” in this chapter for further
information.
The vehicle doors can also be locked by using the key fob
lock button or the lock button located on the vehicle’s inte -
rior door panel.
