KEYS
Key Fobs
Your vehicle uses either a wireless ignition node system or
keyless ignition system. The ignition system consists of a
key fob with a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and an ignition
switch. The keyless ignition system consists of a key fob
and Keyless Enter-N-Go button.
NOTE:The key fob may not be found if it is located next to
a mobile phone, laptop or other electronic device; these
devices may block the key fob’s wireless signal.
The key fob operates the ignition switch. Insert the square
end of the key fob into the ignition switch located on the
instrument panel and rotate to the desired position. It also
contains the key fob and an emergency key, which stores in
the rear of the key fob.
The emergency key allows for entry into the vehicle should
the battery in the vehicle or the key fob go dead. You can
keep the emergency key with you when valet parking.
To remove the emergency key, slide the mechanical latch at
the top 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
triggered. Insert the key into the ignition and place the
ignition in the ON/RUN mode to disarm the security
system.
This Keyless Push Button Ignition key fob allows the driver
to operate the ignition switch with the push of a button, as
long as the key fob is in the passenger compartment. The
Keyless Push Button Ignition has four operating positions,
three of which are labeled and will illuminate when in
position. The three positions are OFF, ACC, and ON/RUN.

The fourth position is START, during start RUN will
illuminate. It also contains the key fob and an emergency
key, which stores in the rear of the key fob.
The emergency key allows for entry into the vehicle should
the battery in the vehicle or the key fob go dead. You can
keep the emergency key with you when valet parking.
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
triggered. Put the nose side (side opposite of the emer-
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, and the tailgate as well as activate the
Panic Alarm from distances up to approximately 66 ft (20
m) using a key fob with integrated key. The key fob does
not need to be pointed at the vehicle to activate the system.
Push and release the lock button on the key fob to lock all
doors, and the tailgate. The turn signal lights will flash and
the horn will chirp to acknowledge the signal.

NOTE:Inserting the key fob with integrated key 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.
To Unlock The Doors And Tailgate
Push and release the unlock button on the key fob once to
unlock the driver ’s door. Push the unlock button twice
within five seconds to unlock all doors, and the tailgate.
The turn signal lights will flash to acknowledge the unlock
signal. The illuminated entry system will also turn on.
NOTE: The instrument cluster display or Uconnect Set-
tings are setup for driver door first, otherwise this will
unlock all doors.

To Lock The Doors And Tailgate
Push and release the lock button on the key fob to lock all
doors, and the tailgate. The turn signal lights will flash and
the horn will chirp to acknowledge the signal.
Sound Horn With Remote Key Lock
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.
Using The Panic Alarm
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.
