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:
The key fob is carried with
communication devices such as cellular
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.

VEHICLE SECURITY
ALARM SYSTEM — IF
EQUIPPED
Modifications And
Add-On Equipment
FCA cannot guarantee the immobilizer
and the Security Alarm System
operation if the system has been
modified or if any add-on equipment
has been installed.
Note:To avoid damage to the vehicle,
do not modify the system or install any
add-on equipment to the immobilizer
and the Security Alarm System or the
vehicle.
Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system allows the
engine to start only with a key fob the
system recognizes.
If someone attempts to start the engine
with an unrecognized key fob, the
engine will not start, thereby helping to
prevent unlawful vehicle use.
If you have a problem with the
immobilizer system or the key fob,
contact an Authorized Dealership.
To avoid damage to the key fob, do not:
Drop the key fob.
Get the key fob wet.
Expose the key fob to any kind of
magnetic field.
Expose the key fob to high
temperatures on places such as the
instrument panel, hood, or under direct
sunlight.
Note:
Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void
the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
If the engine does not start with the
correct key fob, and thewarning
light keeps illuminating or flashing, the
system may have a malfunction.
Contact an Authorized Dealership.
The key fobs carry a unique
electronic code. For this reason, and to
assure your safety, obtaining a
replacement key fob can only be done
through your Authorized Dealership,
and will require some waiting time.
Always keep a spare key fob in
case one is lost. If a key fob is lost,
contact an Authorized Dealership as
soon as possible.
If you lose a key fob, an Authorized
Dealership will reset the electronic
codes of your remaining key fobs and
immobilizer system. Bring all the
remaining key fobs to an Authorized
Dealership to reset. Starting the vehicle
with a key fob that has not been reset
is not possible. Operation
The engine may not start and
warning light may illuminate or flash
if the key fob is placed in an area where
it is difficult for the system to detect the
signal, such as on the instrument panel.
Move the key fob to a location within
the signal range, cycle the ignition off,
and then restart the engine.
Note: Signals from a TV, radio station,
transceiver, or mobile telephone could
interfere with your immobilizer system.
If you are using the proper key fob and
the engine fails to start, check the
warning light.
Arming
The system is armed when the ignition
is cycled from the ON to OFF position.
The
warning light in the instrument
cluster flashes every two seconds until
the system is disarmed.
Disarming
The system is disarmed when the
ignition is placed in the ON position with
the correct programmed key fob. The
warning light illuminates for about
three seconds and then turns off. If the
engine does not start with the correct
key fob, and the
warning light
remains illuminated or flashing, try the
following:
Make sure the key fob is within the
operational range for signal
transmission.
24
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Cycle the ignition off, and then restart
the engine. If the engine does not start
after three or more tries, contact an
Authorized Dealership.
Note:
If thewarning light flashes
continuously while you are driving, do
not turn the engine OFF. Contact an
Authorized Dealership and have it
checked. If the engine is shut off while
the
warning light is flashing, you
will not be able to restart it.
Because the electronic codes are
reset when the immobilizer system is
repaired, the keys are needed. Make
sure to bring all the key fobs to an
Authorized Dealership so that they can
be programmed.
Vehicle Security Alarm
System — If Equipped
If the Vehicle Security Alarm System
detects an inappropriate entry into the
vehicle or the intrusion sensor detects
movement in the vehicle which could
result in the vehicle or its contents
being stolen, the alarm alerts the
