A WORD ABOUT YOUR
KEYSYour vehicle uses a keyless ignition
system. This system consists of a KeyFob with Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter and a Keyless Ignition
Node (KIN).Keyless Enter­N­Go™ Feature
This vehicle is equipped with the Key-
less Enter­N­Go™ feature, (refer to
"Keyless Enter-N-Go" in "Things To
Know Before Starting Your Vehicle"
for further information).
KEYLESS IGNITION NODE
(KIN)
This feature allows the driver to oper-
ate the ignition switch with the push
of a button, as long as the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is in
the passenger compartment.
The Keyless Ignition Node (KIN) has
four operating positions, three of
which are labeled and will illuminate
when in position. The three positionsare OFF, ACC, and ON/RUN. The
fourth position is START. During start
RUN will illuminate.
NOTE: In case the ignition switch
does not change with the push of a
button, the RKE transmitter (Key
Fob) may have a low or dead bat-
tery. In this situation a back up
method can be used to operate the
ignition switch. Put the nose side
(side opposite of the emergency
key) of the Key Fob against the
ENGINE START/STOP button and
push to operate the
ignition switch.
KEY FOB
The Key Fob also contains the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and
an emergency key, which stores in the
rear of the Key Fob.
The emergency key allows for entry
into the vehicle should the battery in
the vehicle or the Key Fob go dead. The
emergency key is also for locking the
glove box. You can keep the emergency
key with you when valet parking.
To remove the emergency key, slide the
mechanical latch on the back of the
Key Fob sideways with your thumb
and then pull the key out with your
other hand.NOTE:
You can insert the double-
sided emergency key into the lock
cylinders with either side up.

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™
system, 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 ignition is
cycled to the OFF position. Opening
either front door will cancel this fea-
ture. The time for this feature is pro-
grammable. Refer to “Uconnect
Touch™ Settings” in “Understand-
ing Your Instrument Panel” for fur-
ther information.
WARNING!
 When leaving the vehicle, always remove the Key Fob from the
vehicle 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 park-
ing brake, brake pedal or the shift
lever.
 Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location
accessible to children, and do not
leave Keyless Enter­N­Go™ in
the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A
child could operate power win-
dows, 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 car is an invitation to
thieves. Always remove the Key
Fob from vehicle, cycle the ignition
OFF and lock all doors when leav-
ing the vehicle unattended.
SENTRY KEY®
The Sentry Key® Immobilizer System
prevents unauthorized vehicle oper-
ation 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 with
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) trans-
mitter, a Keyless Ignition Node (KIN)
and a RF receiver to prevent unau-
thorized vehicle operation. Therefore,
only Key Fobs that are programmed
to the vehicle can be used to start and
operate the vehicle.After placing the ignition in the ON/
RUN position, the Vehicle Security
