KEYS
Key Fob
Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system. The ignition
system consists of a key fob with Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) and a START/STOP push button ignition system. The
Remote Keyless Entry system consists of a key fob and
Keyless Enter-N-Go feature.
NOTE:
The key fob may not be found if it is located next to a mobile
phone, laptop or other electronic device; these devices may
block the key fob’s wireless signal.
The key fob allows you to lock or unlock all doors, as well as
activate the Panic Alarm 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.
NOTE:
• In the ON/RUN position, all key fob buttons will work
until the vehicle reaches 3 mph (5 km/h).
• The key fob should not be placed next to the wireless
charging pad (if equipped). Key Fob
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 directions to
follow. 1 — Emergency Key
2 — Unlock
3 — Lock
4 — Remote Start
5 — PANIC 2

In a situation where the battery is low or fully depleted, a
back up method can be used to operate the ignition switch.
Put the nose side of the key fob (side opposite of the Emer -
gency Key) against the ENGINE START/STOP button and
push to operate the ignition switch.
To Unlock The Doors
Push and release the unlock button on the key fob once to
unlock the driver’s door. Push the unlock button twice
within five seconds to unlock all doors. The turn signal lights
will flash to acknowledge the unlock signal. The illuminated
entry system will also turn on.
NOTE:
The instrument cluster display or Uconnect Settings are
setup for driver door first, otherwise this will unlock all
doors.
To Lock The Doors
Push and release the lock button on the key fob to lock all
doors. The turn signal lights will flash and the horn will
chirp to acknowledge the signal. Sound Horn With Remote Key Lock
This feature will cause the horn to chirp when the doors are
locked with the key fob. This feature can be turned on or
turned off.
NOTE:
Pushing the lock button on the key fob while you are in the
vehicle will activate the vehicle security alarm system.
Opening a door with the vehicle security alarm system acti -
vated will cause the alarm to sound. Push the unlock button
to deactivate the vehicle security alarm system.
Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in “Getting To Know
Your Instrument Panel” for further information.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 25
The engine only runs in the ON/RUN ignition position or
from a remote start request.
In case the ignition switch does not change with the push of
a button, the key fob may have a low or dead battery. In this
situation, a back up method can be used to operate the igni -
tion switch. Put the nose side (side opposite of the emer -
gency key) of the key fob against the ENGINE START/STOP
button and push to operate the ignition switch. Back Up Starting Method
NOTE:
The key fob may not be able to be detected by the vehicle
keyless-go 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 keyless-go system
from starting the vehicle.
NOTE:
Refer to "Starting The Engine," in "Starting And Operating"
for further information.• Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in a
location accessible to children, and do not leave the
ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go in the ON/RUN mode. A child could
operate power windows, 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 vehicle is an invitation for thieves. Always
remove key fob from the vehicle and lock all doors when
leaving the vehicle unattended. WARNING! (Continued)
