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™ sys-
tem, 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 igni-
tion is cycled to the OFF position.
Opening either front door will can-
cel this feature. The time for this
feature is programmable. Refer to
“Uconnect Touch™ Settings” in
“Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.
WARNING!
When leaving the vehicle, alwaysremove the key fob 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 parking
brake, brake pedal or the shift
lever.
Do not leave the key fob in or near
the vehicle, and do not leave Key-
less Enter-N-Go in the ACC or
ON/RUN mode. A child could op-
erate power windows, other con-
trols, 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 leaving the
vehicle unattended.

prevents unauthorized vehicle opera-
tion by disabling the engine. The sys-
tem does not need to be armed or

gardless of whether the vehicle is
locked or unlocked.
The system uses a Key Fob with Re-
mote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmit-
ter, a Keyless Ignition Node (KIN) and
a RF receiver to prevent unauthorized
vehicle operation. Therefore, only
Key Fobs that are programmed to the
vehicle can be used to start and oper-
ate the vehicle.
After placing the ignition in the ON/
RUN position, the Vehicle Security
Light will turn on for three seconds
for a bulb check. If the light remains

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 lockthe 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 unlock the
doors when the doors are locked
using the door panel switch, a
valid Passive Entry RKE transmit-
ter is detected inside the vehicle,
and no valid Passive Entry RKE
transmitter is detected outside the
vehicle. The vehicle will not un-
lock the doors when any of the fol-
lowing conditions are true:
The doors are locked using the
RKE transmitter.Grabbing The Driver's Door Handle

There are single window controls on
each passenger door trim panel,
which operate the passenger door
windows. The window controls will
operate only when the ignition is in
the ACC or ON/RUN position.

Uconnect Touch™, the power win-
dow switches will remain active
for up to 10 minutes after the igni-
tion is cycled to the OFF position.
Opening either front door will can-
cel this feature. The time is pro-
grammable. Refer to “Uconnect
Touch™ Settings” in “Under-
standing 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 Feature

and some model passenger door
power window switches have an
AUTO-down feature. Press the win-
dow switch to the second detent, re-
lease, 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 win-
dow to stop.

will reverse direction and then
go back down. Remove the ob-
stacle and use the window
switch again to close the win-
dow.
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.

open positions. This is a normal oc-
currence and can be minimized. If the
buffeting occurs with the rear win-
dows open, then open the front and
