2014 Ram 1500 keyless entry

KEY FOB
This feature allows the driver to operate the
ignition switch with the push of a button,
as long as the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter is in the passenger compart-
ment.
The Keyless Ignition Node (KIN) has four
operating positions, three of which are
labeled and will illuminate when in posi-
tion. The three positions are 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 trans-
mitter (Key Fob) may have a low or dead
battery. 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.
The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) operates
similar to an ignition switch. It has four
operating positions, three with detents
and one that is spring-loaded. The detent
positions are OFF, ACC, and ON/RUN. The
START position is a spring-loaded momen-
tary contact position. When released from
the START position, the switch automati-
cally returns to the ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go™, the Electronic Vehicle Infor-
mation Center (EVIC) will display the
ignition switch position (OFF/ACC/RUN).
Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) — If Equipped” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for fur-
ther information.

reasons. A child or others could be severely injured or killed. 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, or in a location accessible to children,
and do not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go™
in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child could start the vehicle, operate power
windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.

WARNING!
• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gascontains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon
Monoxide is poisonous and can cause you or others to be severely injured or
killed when inhaled.
• Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start
System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause you and others to be
severely injured or killed.
VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
To Arm:
• Lock the door using either the power door lock switch (one door must be open) orthe LOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter (doors can be
open or closed), and close all doors.
NOTE:
The Vehicle Security Alarm will not arm if you lock the doors with the manual door
lock plungers.
The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash for 16 seconds. This
shows that the Vehicle Security Alarm is arming. During this period, if a door is
opened, the ignition is cycled to ON/RUN, or the power door locks are unlocked in any
manner, the Vehicle Security Alarm will automatically disarm.
NOTE:
Once armed, the Vehicle Security Alarm disables the unlock switch on the driver door
trim panel and passenger door trim panel.
To Disarm The System:
• Push the Key Fob UNLOCK button or cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your vehicle; however, you can create
conditions where the Vehicle Security Alarm will give you a false alarm. If one of the
previously described arming sequences has occurred, the Vehicle Security Alarm 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 Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed and the battery becomes disconnected the
Vehicle Security Alarm will remain armed when the battery is reconnected. The exterior
lights will flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security
Alarm.
