To remove the emergency key, slide the mechanical latch
on the backside of the key fob sideways with your thumb
and then pull the key out with your other hand.
NOTE:When using the emergency key to gain access to
your vehicle, be aware that the security alarm may be

gency key) of the key fob against the ENGINE START/
STOP button and push to disarm the security system. NOTE:
You can insert the double-sided emergency key
into the door lock cylinder with either side up.
The Remote Keyless Entry system allows you to lock or
unlock all doors, tailgate, and the RamBox (if equipped) as
well as activate the Panic Alarm from distances up to
approximately 66 ft (20 m) using a key fob with integrated

to activate the system. Push and release the lock button on
the key fob to lock all doors, the tailgate and the RamBox
(if equipped). The turn signal lights will flash and the horn
will chirp to acknowledge the signal.

tings are setup for driver door first, otherwise this will
unlock all doors.

doors, the tailgate and the RamBox (if equipped). The turn
signal lights will flash and the horn will chirp to acknowl-
edge the signal.

This feature will cause the horn to chirp when the doors are
locked with the key fob. This feature can be turned on or
turned off. To change the current setting, proceed as
follows:
•For vehicles not equipped with a touchscreen radio,
refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in “Getting To
Know Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
• For vehicles equipped with a touchscreen radio, refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further infor-
mation.
NOTE: Pushing the lock button on the key fob while you
are in the vehicle will activate the vehicle security alarm
system. Opening a door with the vehicle security alarm
system activated will cause the alarm to sound. Push the
unlock button to deactivate the vehicle security alarm
system.

To turn the Panic Alarm feature on or off, push the Panic
button on the key fob. When the Panic Alarm is activated,
the turn signals will flash, the horn will pulse on and off,
and the interior lights will turn on.
The Panic Alarm will stay on for three minutes unless you
turn it off by either pushing the Panic button a second time
or drive the vehicle at a speed of 15 mph (24 km/h) or
greater.
NOTE:
• The interior lights will turn off if you place the ignition
in the ACC or ON/RUN position while the Panic Alarm
is activated. However, the exterior lights and horn will
remain on.
• You may need to be less than 35 ft (11 m) from the
vehicle when using the key fob to turn off the Panic
Alarm due to the radio frequency noises emitted by the
system.
