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.

timedia" in the Owner’s Manual for further
information.
To Lock The Doors And Liftgate
Push and release the lock button on the key
fob to lock all doors and liftgate.
Vehicles Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go —
Passive Entry
If one or more doors are open, or the liftgate is
open, the doors will lock. The doors will
unlock again automatically if the key is left
inside the passenger compartment, otherwise
the doors will stay locked.
Request For Additional Key Fobs
NOTE:
Only key fobs that are programmed to the
vehicle electronics can be used to start and
operate the vehicle. Once a key fob is pro-
grammed to a vehicle, it cannot be pro-
grammed to any other vehicle.
WARNING!
• Always remove the key fobs from the
vehicle and lock all doors when leaving
the vehicle unattended.
• For vehicles equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go — Ignition, always remem-
ber to place the ignition in the OFF
mode.
NOTE:
Used batteries may be harmful to the envi-
ronment if not disposed of correctly. Always
dispose of used batteries by specialized bat-
tery disposal container, or by taking used
batteries to an authorized dealer.
Duplication of key fobs may be performed at
an authorized dealer. This procedure consists
of programming a blank key fob to the vehicle
electronics. A blank key fob is one that has
never been programmed.
NOTE:
When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer Sys-
tem serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you
to an authorized dealer.
IGNITION SWITCH
Ignition Node Module (IGNM) — If
Equipped
The Ignition Node Module (IGNM) operates
similar to an ignition switch. It has four
operating positions, three with detents and
one that is spring-loaded. The detent posi-
tions are OFF, ACC, and ON/RUN. The START
position is a spring-loaded momentary con-
tact position. When released from the START
position, the switch automatically returns to
the ON/RUN position.

ignition switch with the push of a button as
long as the key fob is in the passenger com-
partment.
The push button ignition operating modes are
OFF, ACC, ON/RUN, and START.

If the ignition switch does not change with
the push of a button, the key fob may have a
low or dead battery. In this situation, a back
up method can be used to operate the igni-
tion 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.The push button ignition can be placed in the
following modes:

the vehicle and open a door, the alarm 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 — Pas-
sive Entry. This feature allows you to lock and
unlock the vehicle’s door(s) and fuel door
without having to push the key fob lock or
unlock buttons.

OFF; refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Mul-
timedia” in the Owner’s Manual for further

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 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
prevent the passive entry handle from
locking/unlocking the vehicle.
• Passive Entry activates illuminated ap-
proach for the time set by the customer (0,
30, 60, or 90 seconds), and flashes the
turn signal lights. Refer to “Uconnect Set-
tings” in “Multimedia in the Owner’s
