KEYS
Key Fob
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. The
key fob also contains an emergency key,
which is stored in the rear of the key fob.
CAUTION!
The electrical components inside of the
key fob may be damaged if the key fob is
subjected to strong electrical shocks. In
order to ensure complete efficiency of the
electronic devices inside of the key fob,
avoid exposing the key fob to direct sun-
light.
Your vehicle may be equipped with a keyless
ignition system. The ignition system consists
of a key fob with Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
and a START/STOP push button ignition sys-
tem. The Remote Keyless Entry system con-
sists of a key fob and Keyless Enter-N-Go
feature if equipped.
NOTE:
The key fob may not be found if it is located
next to a mobile phone, laptop or other elec-
tronic device; these devices may block the
key fob’s wireless signal.

The key fob allows you to lock or unlock the
doors and liftgate from distances up to ap-
proximately 66 ft (20 m) using a handheld
key fob. The key fob does not need to be
pointed at the vehicle to activate the system.
This feature allows the driver to operate the
ignition switch with the push of a button as
long as the key fob is in the passenger com-
partment.
In case the ignition switch does not change
with the push of a button, the key fob may
have a low or fully depleted battery. A low key
fob battery can be verified by referring to the
instrument cluster, which will display direc-
tions to follow.In this situation, a back up method can be
used to operate the ignition switch. Put the
nose side (side opposite of the emergency
key) of the key fob against the ENGINE
START/STOP button and push to operate the
ignition switch.
NOTE:
Improper disposal of key fob batteries may be
harmful to the environment. Please see an
authorized dealer for proper battery disposal.
To Unlock The Doors And Liftgate
Push and release the unlock button on the
key fob once to unlock the driver's door or
twice within five seconds to unlock all doors
and the liftgate.
All doors can be programmed to unlock on
the first push of the unlock button. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in the
Owner’s Manual for further information.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is unlocked by a key fob, and no
door is opened within 60 seconds, the ve-
hicle will re-lock and if equipped, the secu-
