To Lock/Unlock The Doors
To lock all of the doors, push and release the lock
button once. Push and release the front unlock
button on key fob once to unlock only the front
doors (figure 1) or push and release the unlock
button on key fob once to unlock all doors (figure
2). Push and release the cargo unlock button on
key fob once to unlock the cargo area (rear lateral
sliding doors and rear door). The doors can also
be locked and unlocked manually by using the
mechanical key.

When the doors are unlocked, the turn signals will
flash. When the doors are locked, the turn signals will
flash and the horn will chirp (if equipped and activated
through the Uconnect Settings
Ú
page 120). If a door
is open when the lock button is pushed, the turn signal
lights will flash at an increased rate to indicate that a
door is still open.

Key Left Vehicle Feature
If a valid key fob is no longer detected inside the
vehicle while the vehicle’s ignition system is in the
ON/RUN or START position, the message “Key Fob
Has Left The Vehicle” will be shown in the
instrument cluster display along with an interior
chime. An exterior audible and visual alert will also
be activated to warn the driver. The vehicle’s horn will rapidly chirp three times
along with a single flash of the vehicle’s exterior
lights.
NOTE:
The doors have to be open and then closed in
order for the vehicle to check for the presence of
a key fob; the Key Left Vehicle feature will not
activate until all of the doors are closed.
These alerts will not be activated in situations
where the vehicle’s engine is left running with
the key fob inside.
Replacing The Battery In The Key Fob
The replacement battery is one CR2032 battery.
NOTE:
Customers are recommended to use a battery
obtained from Mopar®. Aftermarket coin
battery dimensions may not meet the original
OEM coin battery dimensions.

Perchlorate Material — special handling may apply.
See
www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/
perchlorate
for further information.

Do not touch the battery terminals that are on
the back housing or the printed circuit board.
1. Remove the emergency key (2) by sliding the
emergency key release (1) on the back of the
key fob and pulling the emergency key out
with your other hand.

VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security system monitors the vehicle
doors and ignition for unauthorized operation.
When the Vehicle Security system is activated,
interior switches for door locks are disabled. The
system provides both audible and visible signals.
For the first three minutes, the horn will sound, and
the turn signal lights will flash. For an additional
15 minutes, only the turn signal lights will flash.
TO ARM THE SYSTEM
Follow these steps to arm the Vehicle Security
system:

1. Make sure the vehicle’s ignition is placed in
the OFF position.

2. If any doors are open, close them.
3. Perform one of the following methods to lock the vehicle:
Push the lock button on the exterior Passive
Entry door handle with a valid key fob avail -
able in the same exterior zone Ú page 21.
Push the lock button on the key fob.
When the Vehicle Security system is armed, the
Vehicle Security Light (on the central lock\unlock
button in the dashboard) will begin to flash every
three seconds until it is disarmed.
NOTE:If a door or the hood is not properly shut, the
system will be armed.
TO DISARM THE SYSTEM
The Vehicle Security system can be disarmed using
any of the following methods:
Push the unlock button on the key fob.
Push the Passive Entry button next to the door
handle to unlock the door Ú page 21.
Cycle the ignition out of the OFF position to
disarm the system.
The Vehicle Security system is designed to protect
your vehicle. However, you can create conditions
where the system will give you a false alarm. If one
of the previously described arming sequences has
occurred, the Vehicle Security system will arm
regardless of whether you are in the vehicle or not.
If you remain in the vehicle and open a door, the
alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle
Security system.
REARMING OF THE SYSTEM
If the system has not been disabled, the Vehicle
Security system will rearm itself after the
15 additional minutes of turn lamps flashing.
If the condition which initiated the alarm is still
present, the system will ignore that condition and
monitor the remaining doors and ignition.
SECURITY SYSTEM MANUAL OVERRIDE
The Vehicle Security system will not arm if you lock
the doors using the manual door lock. The Vehicle
Security system will not disarm if you unlock the
doors using the manual door unlock.
DOORS
POWER DOOR LOCKS

The central lock/unlock button has an LED that
indicates whether the doors are locked or unlocked.

will also turn off. Cornering Lights

The cornering lights are a feature to improve visibility at
night while turning the vehicle. When activated, a light
incorporated in the front fog light will illuminate on the

166SAFETY
If you do have a collision which deploys the air
bags, any or all of the following may occur:

The air bag material may sometimes cause abra -
sions and/or skin reddening to the occupants as
the air bags deploy and unfold. The abrasions are
similar to friction rope burns or those you might
get sliding along a carpet or gymnasium floor.
They are not caused by contact with chemicals.
They are not permanent and normally heal
quickly. However, if you haven’t healed signifi -
cantly within a few days, or if you have any blis -
tering, see your doctor immediately.

As the air bags deflate, you may see some
smoke-like particles. The particles are a normal
by-product of the process that generates the
non-toxic gas used for air bag inflation. These
airborne particles may irritate the skin, eyes,
nose, or throat. If you have skin or eye irritation,
rinse the area with cool water. For nose or throat
irritation, move to fresh air. If the irritation
continues, see your doctor. If these particles
settle on your clothing, follow the garment
manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have
deployed. If you are involved in another collision,
the air bags will not be in place to protect you.
NOTE:

Air bag covers may not be obvious in the interior
trim, but they will open during air bag deployment.

After any collision, the vehicle should be taken
to an authorized dealer immediately.
Fuel Cut Off Switch
Your vehicle is equipped with a Fuel Cut Off switch.
In the event of an accident, if the communication
network remains intact, and the power remains
intact, depending on the nature of the event, the
Fuel Cut Off Switch may perform the following
functions:
Cut off fuel to the engine and turn off the
engine.
Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has
power or until the hazard light button is pressed.
The hazard lights can be deactivated by
pressing the hazard light button.
Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as
long as the battery has power.
Unlock the power door locks.
NOTE:
After an accident, remember to cycle the ignition to
the STOP (OFF/LOCK) position and remove the key
from the ignition switch to avoid draining the battery.
Carefully check the vehicle for fuel leaks in the
engine compartment and on the ground near the
engine compartment and fuel tank before resetting
the system and starting the engine. If there are no
fuel leaks or damage to the vehicle electrical devices
(e.g. headlights) after an accident, reset the Fuel Cut
Off Switch by following the procedure described
below. If you have any doubt, contact an authorized
dealer.

WARNING!

Deployed air bags and seat belt pretensioners
cannot protect you in another collision. Have the air
bags, seat belt pretensioners, and the seat belt
retractor assemblies replaced by an authorized
dealer immediately. Also, have the Occupant
Restraint Controller System serviced as well.
