To Arm The System
Follow these steps to arm the vehicle security
alarm:
1. Remove the key from the ignition system(refer to "Starting The Engine" in "Starting
And Operating" for further information).
• For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go — Ignition, make sure the
vehicle ignition system is "OFF."
• For vehicles not equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go — Ignition, make sure the
vehicle ignition system is "OFF" and
the key is physically removed from the
ignition.
2. Perform one of the following methods to lock the vehicle:
• Push lock button on the interior power door lock switch with the driver and/or
passenger door open.
• Push the lock button on the exterior Passive Entry Door Handle with a valid
key fob available in the same exterior zone (refer to "Keyless Enter- N-Go —

Vehicle" for further information).
• Push the lock button on the key fob.
3. If any doors are open, close them.
The vehicle security alarm will set when you
use the power door locks, or use the key fob to
lock the doors. After all the doors are locked
and closed, the vehicle security light, in the
instrument panel cluster, will flash rapidly for
about 16 seconds to indicate that the alarm
is being set. After the alarm is set, the vehicle

The vehicle security alarm is designed to
protect your vehicle. However, you can create
conditions where the system will give you a
false alarm. If one of the previously described
arming sequences has occurred, the vehicle
security alarm will arm regardless of whether
you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in
the vehicle and open a door, the alarm will
sound. If this occurs, disarm the vehicle
security alarm.
If the vehicle security alarm is armed and the
battery becomes disconnected, the vehicle
security alarm will remain armed when theGETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

battery is reconnected; the exterior lights will
flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs,
disarm the vehicle security alarm.
DOORS
Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive
Entry
The Passive Entry system is an enhancement
to the vehicle’s Remote Keyless Entry system
and a feature of Keyless Enter-N-Go. This
feature allows you to lock and unlock the
vehicle’s door(s) without having to push the
key fob lock or unlock buttons.
NOTE:
•
Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia”
in the Owner’s Manual at
www.mopar.com/
en-us/care/owners-manual.html (U.S.
Residents) or www.owners.mopar.ca
(Canadian Residents) for further information.
• If wearing gloves on your hands, or if it has been raining/snowing on the Passive Entry
door handle, the unlock sensitivity can be
affected, resulting in a slower response
time. • If the vehicle is unlocked by Passive Entry
and no door is opened within 60 seconds,
the vehicle will re-lock and if equipped will
arm the security alarm.
• The vehicles security alarm can be armed/ disarmed by pushing the passive entry key
fob lock/unlock buttons (if equipped).
• The key fob may not be able to be detected by the vehicle passive entry system if it is
located next to a mobile phone, laptop or
other electronic device; these devices may
block the key fob's wireless signal and pre-
vent the passive entry handle from locking/
unlocking the vehicle.
To Unlock From The Driver's Side:
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the driver door handle, grab the
front driver door handle to unlock the driver's
door automatically. The interior door panel
lock knob will raise when the door is un-
locked. NOTE:
If “Unlock All Doors 1st Press” is pro-
grammed, all doors will unlock when you grab
hold of the front driver’s door handle. To
select between “Unlock Driver Door 1st
Press” and “Unlock All Doors 1st Press,”
refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in
the Owner’s Manual at
www.mopar.com/en-us/
care/owner-manual.html (U.S. Residents) or
www.owners.mopar.ca (Canadian Residents)
for further information.
Grab The Door Handle To Unlock

To Unlock From The Passenger Side:
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the passenger door handle, grab
the front passenger door handle to unlock all
doors automatically. The interior door panel
lock knob will raise when the door is un-
locked.
NOTE:
All doors will unlock when the front passen-
ger door handle is grabbed regardless of the
driver’s door unlock preference setting (“Un-
lock Driver Door 1st Press” or “Unlock All
Doors 1st Press”).
Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of Passive Entry
Key Fob In Vehicle:
To minimize the possibility of unintentionally
locking a Passive Entry key fob inside your
vehicle, the Passive Entry system is equipped
with an automatic door unlock feature which
will function if the ignition switch is in the
OFF position.
If one of the vehicle doors is open and the
door panel switch is used to lock the vehicle,
once all open doors have been closed the
vehicle checks the inside and outside of thevehicle for any valid Passive Entry key fobs. If
one of the vehicle's Passive Entry key fobs is
detected inside the vehicle, and no other
valid Passive Entry key fobs are detected
outside the vehicle, the Passive Entry System
automatically unlocks all vehicle doors and
chirps the horn three times (on the third
attempt ALL doors will lock and the Passive
Entry key fob can be locked in the vehicle).
To Lock The Vehicle’s Doors:
With one of the vehicle’s Passive Entry key
fobs within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the driver or
passenger front door handles, push the door
handle lock button to lock all doors.
Do NOT grab the door handle when pushing
the door handle lock button. This could un-
lock the door(s).
NOTE:
• After pushing the door handle lock button,
you must wait two seconds before you can
lock or unlock the doors, using either Pas-
sive Entry door handle. This is done to allow
you to check if the vehicle is locked by
pulling the door handle, without the vehicle
reacting and unlocking.
• The Passive Entry system will not operate if the key fob battery is dead.

Easy Entry/Exit Seat
This feature provides automatic driver’s seat
positioning to enhance driver mobility when
entering and exiting the vehicle.
The distance the driver’s seat moves depends
on where you have the driver’s seat positioned
when you remove the key fob from the igni-
tion (or change the ignition to OFF, for ve-
hicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go). • When you remove the key fob from the
ignition (or change the ignition to OFF, for
vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-
Go), the driver’s seat will move about
2.4 inches (60 mm) rearward if the driver’s
seat position is greater than or equal to
2.7 inches (67.7 mm) forward of the rear
stop. The seat will return to its previously
set position when you place the ignition
into the ACC or RUN position.
• When you remove the key fob from the ignition (or change the ignition to OFF, for
vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-
Go), the driver’s seat will move to a position
0.3 inches (7.7 mm) forward of the rear
stop if the driver’s seat position is between
0.9 inches and 2.7 inches (22.7 mm and
67.7 mm) forward of the rear stop. The seat
will return to its previously set position
when you place the ignition to the ACC or
RUN position.
• The Easy Entry/Easy Exit feature is disabled when the driver’s seat position is less than
0.9 inches (22.7 mm) forward of the rear
stop. At this position, there is no benefit to
the driver by moving the seat for Easy Exit
or Easy Entry.

key fob or the memory switch on the driver’s
door trim panel to return the adjustable
pedals to pre-programmed positions. Refer
to “Driver Memory Seat” in “Getting To
Know Your Vehicle” for further information.
WARNING!

is moving. You could lose control and have
an accident. Always adjust the pedals
while the vehicle is parked.
CAUTION!

trols. Pedal travel may become limited if
movement is stopped by an obstruction in
the adjustable pedal's path.
MIRRORS
Power Folding Outside Mirrors For
Standard And Trailer Tow —
If Equipped

second time and the mirrors will return to the
normal driving position.
If the mirror is manually folded after electri-
cally cycled, a potential extra button push is
required to get the mirrors back to the home
position. If the mirror does not electrically
fold, check for ice or dirt build up at the pivot
area which can cause excessive drag. Resetting The Power Folding Outside Mirrors
You may need to reset the power folding
mirrors if the following occurs:
• The mirrors are accidentally blocked while
folding.
• The mirrors are accidentally manually folded/unfolded.
• The mirrors come out of the unfolded posi- tion.
