KEYS
Your vehicle uses either a key start ignition system or
keyless ignition system. The key start ignition system
consists of a Key Fob with a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter and an Ignition Node Module (IGNM). The
keyless ignition system consists of a Key Fob with
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and a Keyless
Ignition Node (KIN).
Key Fob With Remote Control
The Key Fob with Remote Control contains a Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. The RKE system allows
you to lock or unlock the doors and liftgate or activate the
Panic Alarm from distances up to approximately 66 ft (20
m) using a handheld Key Fob with a RKE transmitter.
The RKE transmitter does not need to be pointed at the
vehicle to activate the system.
NOTE:In the ON/RUN position, the LOCK button is
disabled. Only the UNLOCK button is enabled.

1st Push Of Key Fob Unlocks
This feature lets you program the system to unlock either
the driver’s door or all doors on the first push of the
UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter. To change the
current setting, refer to “Uconnect® SETTINGS” in “Mul-
timedia” for further information.
NOTE:If the vehicle is equipped with Passive Entry,
refer to “Keyless Enter-N-Go™” in “Getting To Know
Your Vehicle” for further information.
To Lock The Doors And Liftgate
The doors may be locked by inserting the vehicle key into
the exterior driver’s door lock cylinder.
Push and release the LOCK button on the RKE transmit-
ter to lock all doors and liftgate. The turn signal lights
will flash and the horn will chirp to acknowledge the
signal. Settings in radio can change to lights only, chirp
only, or both.
If the vehicle is equipped with Passive Entry, refer to
“Keyless Enter-N-Go™” in “Getting To Know Your Ve-
hicle” for further information.

NOTE:
•The current setting can be changed within the Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) menu or in
the Uconnect® Settings so that the system will allow/
inhibit the ability to lock the doors when one or more
of them are open.
•For more information, refer to “Multi-Functional Dis-
play (EVIC)” in “Getting To Know Your Instrument
Panel,” subsection “Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC)/ Driver Information Display (DID),” or
“Uconnect® Settings” in “Multimedia.”
Replacing The Battery In The Key Fob With
Remote Control
The recommended replacement battery is one CR2032
battery.
NOTE:
•Perchlorate Material — special handling may apply.
See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate
•Do not touch the battery terminals that are on the back
housing or the printed circuit board.

4. To assemble the RKE transmitter case, snap the two
halves together and insert the emergency key.
Programming Additional Transmitters
Programming Key Fobs or RKE transmitters may be
performed at an authorized dealer.
Request For Additional Key Fobs
NOTE:Only Key Fobs that are programmed to the
vehicle electronics can be used to start and operate the
vehicle. Once a Key Fob is programmed to a vehicle, it
cannot be programmed to any other vehicle.
CAUTION!
•Always remove the Key Fobs from the vehicle and
lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unat-
tended.
•For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go™,
always remember to place the ignition in the OFF
position.

At the time of purchase, the original owner is provided
with a four-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN).
Keep the PIN in a secure location. This number is
required for authorized dealer replacement of Key Fobs.
Duplication of Key Fobs may be performed at an autho-
rized dealer. This procedure consists of programming a
blank Key Fob to the vehicle electronics. A blank Key Fob
is one that has never been programmed.
NOTE:When having the Sentry Key® Immobilizer Sys-
tem serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to an
authorized dealer.
IGNITION SWITCH
Operation
Your vehicle uses either a key start ignition system or
keyless ignition system. The key start ignition system
consists of a Key Fob with a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter and an Ignition Node Module (IGNM). The
keyless ignition system consists of a Key Fob with
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and a Keyless
Ignition Node (KIN).
Models With Integrated Vehicle Key
The Ignition Node Module (IGNM) operates similar to an
ignition switch. It has three operating positions, two with
detents and one that is spring-loaded. The detent posi-
tions are STOP/OFF, MAR/RUN, and AVV/START. The
AVV/START position is a spring-loaded momentary
contact position. When released from the AVV/START
position, the switch automatically returns to the MAR/
RUN position.
