2017 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN buttons

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
This system allows you to lock or unlock the doors and
liftgate, and activate the Panic Alarm, optional power
liftgate, left power sliding door, and right power sliding
door from distances up to approximately 66 ft (20 m) using
a handheld Remote Keyless Entry key fob. The key fob
does not need to be pointed at the vehicle to activate the
system.
NOTE:Inserting the key fob into the ignition switch
disables the system from responding to any button pushes
from that key fob. Driving at speeds 5 mph (8 km/h) and
above disables the system from responding to all key fob
buttons for all key fobs.
Two key fobs may be supplied with the vehicle. Vehicles
built without the powered options will be equipped from
the factory with three-button key fobs, and those built with
power options will be equipped with up to seven-button
key fobs.
Using The Key Fob
Three-button key fobs will provide basic UNLOCK, LOCK,
and PANIC functions.
Seven-button key fobs will provide functions that allow the
same basic operation as the three-button, but may also be
used to operate the power liftgate (optional), power sliding
doors, and Remote Start feature (optional). Some features
can be programmed to the customers preferences. For
example, lights flash, or sound horn on lock.

audible beeps will occur to signal that the liftgate is
opening or closing.
WARNING!
During power operation, personal injury or cargo
damage may occur. Ensure the liftgate travel path is
clear. Make sure the liftgate is closed and latched
before driving away.NOTE:
•
If anything obstructs the power liftgate while it is
closing or opening, the liftgate will automatically re-
verse to the closed or open position, provided it meets
sufficient resistance.
• There are also pinch sensors attached to the side of the
liftgate opening. Light pressure anywhere along these
strips will cause the liftgate to return to the open
position.
• During power operation, whether liftgate is fully open
or fully closed, the liftgate chime will beep several times
indicating power operation is in progress.
• The power liftgate must be in the full open or close
positions for any of the buttons to operate. If the liftgate
is not in the full open or close positions, it must be
opened or closed manually.
