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

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.

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,

passengers seat. The sensor may not
function properly because the
additional seat cushion could cause
sensor interference.
If a small child is seated on the
passengers seat, the warning beep
may not operate.
Mexico
If the vehicle speed exceeds about
12 MPH (20 km/h) with the driver or
passengers seat belt unfastened, a
warning beep sounds continuously. If
the seat belt remains unfastened, the
beep sound stops once and then
continues for about 90 seconds. The
beep stops after the driver or
passengers seat belt is fastened.
Until a seat belt is fastened or a given
period of time has elapsed, the beep
sound will not stop even if the vehicle
speed falls below 12 MPH (20 km/h).
Warning!
Placing heavy items on the front
passenger seat may cause the front
passenger seat belt warning function to
operate depending on the weight of the
item.
To allow the front passenger seat weight
sensor to function properly, do not place
and sit on an additional seat cushion on the
front passenger seat. The sensor may not
function properly because the additional
seat cushion could cause sensor
interference.
When a small child sits on the front
passenger seat, it is possible that the
warning beep will not operate.
Ignition Not Switched OFF
If the driver's door is opened while the
ignition is placed in the ACC position, a
continuous beep sound will be heard to
notify the driver that the ignition has not
been placed in the OFF position.
Left in this condition, the keyless entry
system will not operate, the car cannot
be locked, and the battery power will
be depleted.
Key Removed From Vehicle
Warning Beep
A beep sound will be heard 6 times
and the
warning light (red) will flash
continuously if the ignition has not been
placed in the OFF position, all the doors
are closed, and the key fob is removed
from the vehicle.
This is to notify the driver that the key
fob has been removed from the vehicle
and the ignition has not been placed in
the OFF position. Note:
Because the key fob uses
low-intensity radio waves, the
warning may activate if the key fob
is carried together with a metal object
or it is placed in a poor signal reception
area.
Request Switch Inoperable Warning
Beep — If Equipped With Advanced
Keyless Function
If the request switch on the exterior
door handle is pushed with a door
open, or the ignition has not been
placed in the OFF position, a beep will
be heard for about 2 seconds to
indicate that the doors, and trunk lid
cannot be locked.
Key Left-In-Trunk Compartment
Warning Beep — If Equipped With
Advanced Keyless Function
If the key fob is left in the trunk with all
doors locked and the trunk lid closed, a
beep sound is heard for about
10 seconds to remind the driver the key
fob has been left in the trunk.
If this happens, open the trunk lid by
pushing the electric trunk lid opener
and remove the key fob.
A key fob removed from the trunk may
not function because its functions may
have been temporarily suspended. To
restore the key fob function, perform
the applicable procedure (see
paragraph “Keys” in “Getting to know
your vehicle” chapter).

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

SEAT BELT
SYSTEMS
Buckle up even though you are an
excellent driver, even on short trips.
Someone on the road may be a poor
driver and could cause a collision that
includes you. This can happen far away
from home or on your own street.
Research has shown that seat belts
save lives, and they can reduce the
seriousness of injuries in a collision.
Some of the worst injuries happen
when people are thrown from the
vehicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility
of ejection and the risk of injury caused
by striking the inside of the vehicle.
Everyone in a motor vehicle should be
belted at all times.
Seat Belt Precautions
Seat belts help to decrease the
possibility of severe injury during
accidents and sudden stops. FCA
recommends that the driver and
passengers always wear seat belts.
Mexico
All the seats have lap/shoulder belts.
These belts have retractors with inertia
locks that keep them out of the way
when not in use.
The locks allow the belts to remain
comfortable on users, but they will lock
in position during a collision.Except Mexico
All of the seat belt retractors are
designed to keep the lap/shoulder belts
out of the way when not in use.
The driver's seat belt has no provisions
for child-restraint systems and has only
an emergency locking mode.
The driver may wear it comfortably, and
it will lock during a collision.
However, the passenger's seat
lap/shoulder belt retractor operates in
two modes: emergency locking mode,
and for child-restraint systems,
automatic locking mode. If you must
use the passenger seat for a child, slide
the passenger seat as far back as
possible and make sure any child
restraint system is secured properly.
Belt retraction may become difficult if
the belts and seat belt guides are
soiled, so try to keep them clean. Refer
to “Cleaning the lap/shoulder belt
webbing” in “Maintenance and care” for
further information.
Warning!
Relying on the air bags alone could lead
to more severe injuries in a collision. The air
bags work with your seat belt to restrain
you properly. In some collisions, the air
bags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your
seat belt even though you have air bags.
In a collision, you and your passengers
can suffer much greater injuries if you are
not properly buckled up. You can strike the
interior of your vehicle or other passengers,
or you can be thrown out of the vehicle.
Always be sure you and others in your
vehicle are buckled up properly.
It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area,
inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision,
people riding in these areas are more likely
to be seriously injured or killed.
