Keyless Entry System
The Keyless Entry System is an
enhancement that allows you to
lock/unlock the doors, trunk lid, fuel
filler door, and opens the trunk lid with
the slow and careful push of a button .
The Keyless Entry System allows the
driver to START/STOP the ignition with
the push of a button as long as the key
fob is in the passenger compartment.
If equipped, the Vehicle Security Alarm
System may be armed/disarmed with
the push of the lock/unlock button
located on the key fob.
System Malfunctions/Warnings
System malfunctions or warnings are
indicated by the following warning lights
or beeps (refer to “Knowing Your
Instrument Panel” for further
information) :
Warning Light (Red)
Ignition Not Turned OFF Warning
Beep
Key Fob Removed From Vehicle
Warning Beep
If you have a problem with the key fob,
or the key fob is lost or stolen, contact
an Authorized Dealership as soon as
possible for a replacement and to make
the lost or stolen key fob inoperative.
Note:
Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
Note:
The Keyless Entry System
operational range may vary due to
local weather conditions.
The Keyless Entry System is fully
operational (door/trunk lid/fuel filler
door lock/unlock) when the ignition is
placed in the OFF position. The
Keyless Entry System does not
operate if the ignition is placed to any
position other than the OFF position.
If the key fob does not operate
when pushing a button, the operational
range becomes too small, or warning
light may not illuminate or flash the
battery may be weak or discharged. To
install a new battery, refer to “Key Fob
Battery Replacement.”
Battery life is about one year.
Replace the battery with a new one if
the
Warning light (green) flashes in
the instrument cluster. Replacing the
battery about once a year is
recommended because the
Warning light may not illuminate or
flash if the battery is low or discharged.
Additional key fobs may be
obtained at an Authorized Dealership.
Up to six key fobs may be used with
the Keyless Entry System per vehicle.
Bring all key fobs to an Authorized
Dealership when additional keys are
required.

radio waves, it may not function
correctly under the following conditions:

phones.
The key fob contacts or is covered
by a metal object.
The key fob is near electronic
devices such as personal computers.
Non-FCA genuine electronic
equipment is installed in the vehicle.
There is equipment which discharges
radio waves near the vehicle.
The key fob may consume battery
power excessively if it receives
high-intensity radio waves. Do not place
the key fob near electronic devices
such as televisions or personal
computers.
To avoid damage to the key fob,
DO NOT:
Drop the key fob.
Get the key fob wet.
Disassemble the key fob.

temperatures on places such as the
instrument panel or engine
compartment, under direct sunlight.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
IGNITION SWITCH
Push Button Start
Positions
The system operates only when the key
fob is within operational range.
Each time the keyless ignition
START/STOP button is pushed, the
ignition cycles in the order of OFF, ACC,
and ON. Pushing the START/STOP
button again from ON position cycles
the ignition to the OFF position.
Note:
The engine starts by pushing the
keyless ignition START/STOP button
while depressing the clutch pedal
(manual transmission) or the brake
pedal (automatic transmission). To
change the ignition position, push the keyless ignition START/STOP button
without depressing the clutch or brake
pedal.
Do not leave the ignition in the ON
position while the engine is not
running, doing so could result in the
battery being discharged. If the ignition
is left in ACC position (for automatic
transmission, the gear selector is in the
P position, and the ignition is in ACC),
the ignition cycles to the OFF position
automatically after about 25 minutes.
OFF
The power supply to electrical devices
turns off and the keyless ignition start
indicator light (amber) also turns off. In
the OFF position, the steering wheel is
locked.
ACC (Accessory)
Some electrical accessories will operate
and the indicator light (amber)
illuminates. In the ACC position, the
steering wheel is unlocked.
The Keyless Entry System does not
function while the keyless ignition has
been placed in the ACC position, and
the doors will not lock/unlock even if
they have been locked manually.
ON
This is the normal running position after
the engine is started. Note:
The indicator light (amber) turns off (the
indicator light amber illuminates when
the ignition has been placed in the ON
position and the engine is not running).
Some indicator lights/warning lights
should be inspected before the engine
is started.
When the keyless ignition has been
placed in the ON position, the sound of
the fuel pump motor operating near the
fuel tank can be heard. This does not
indicate an abnormality.
Warning!
Never use the PARK position as a
substitute for the parking brake. Always
apply the parking brake fully when parked
to guard against vehicle movement and
possible injury or damage.
When leaving the vehicle, always make
sure the ignition is in the OFF mode,
remove the key fob from the vehicle, and
lock your vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle,
or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle
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 transmission gear
selector.
