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™ 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.
SENTRY KEY®
The Sentry Key® Immobilizer System
prevents unauthorized vehicle opera-
tion by disabling the engine. The sys-
tem does not need to be armed or
activated. Operation is automatic, re-
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
on after the bulb check, it indicates
13

Therefore, make sure the Key Fob is
not inside the vehicle before closing
the door.WARNING!
 For personal security and safetyin the event of an accident, lock
the vehicle doors before you drive
as well as when you park and
leave the vehicle.
 When leaving the vehicle, always
remove 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 vehicle
unattended is dangerous for a
number of reasons. A child or oth-
ers could be seriously or fatally in-
jured. 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. POWER DOOR LOCKS
A power door lock switch is on each
front door trim panel. Use this switch
to lock or unlock the doors.
The doors can also be locked and un-
locked with the Keyless Enter-N-Go
(Passive Entry) system. For further
information, refer to “Keyless Enter-
N-Go” in “Things To Know Before
Starting Your Vehicle”.
If you press the power door lock
switch while the ignition is in the ACC
or ON/RUN position, and any front
door is open, the power locks will not
operate. This prevents you from acci-
dentally locking the Key Fob in the
vehicle. Cycling the ignition to the
OFF position or closing the door will
allow the locks to operate. If a door is
open, and the ignition is in the ACC or ON/RUN position, a chime will sound
as a reminder to remove the Key Fob.
Automatic Door Locks (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
When enabled, the door locks will
lock automatically when the vehicle's
speed exceeds 24 km/h. The auto
door lock feature can be enabled or
disabled by your authorized dealer
per written request of the customer.
Please see your authorized dealer for
service.
Automatic Unlock Doors On Exit

on vehicles with power door locks if:
1. The Automatic Unlock Doors On
Exit feature is enabled.
2. The transmission was in gear and
the vehicle speed returned to 0 km/h.
3. The transmission is in NEUTRAL
or PARK.

ment Panel” for further infor-
mation.
 If wearing gloves on your hands, or if it has been raining on the
Passive Entry door handle, the
unlock sensitivity can be af-
fected, resulting in a slower re-
sponse time.

try and no door goes ajar within
60 seconds, the vehicle will re-
lock and for versions/markets,
where provided will arm the
theft alarm.Child-Protection Door Lock Function
