KEYS 
Key Fob
Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system. The 
ignition system consists of a key fob with 
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and a START/STOP 
push button ignition system. The RKE system 
uses a receiver module in the vehicle that 
wirelessly links with the key fob.
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.
This system allows you to lock or unlock the 
doors and liftgate, activate the Panic Alarm, 
optional power liftgate, left power sliding door, 
and right power sliding door from distances up 
to approximately 66 ft (20 m) using a key fob. 
When any button on the key fob is pushed, or  when any signal is being transferred between 
the key fob and the vehicle, an LED light on the 
key fob will flash as an indicator. The key fob 
does not need to be pointed at the vehicle to 
activate the system.
NOTE:
The emergency key allows for entry into the 
vehicle should the battery in the vehicle or the 
key fob become depleted. The emergency key is 
also for locking/unlocking the glove compart
-
ment. You can keep the emergency key with you 
when valet parking.

acknowledge the unlock signal. The illuminated 
entry system will be activated.
This feature lets you program the system to 
unlock either the driver's side doors or all doors 
on the first push of the unlock button on the key 
fob. To change the current setting, refer to 
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further 
information.
NOTE:
Your vehicle is equipped with Passive Entry; 
refer to “Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry” in 
this chapter for further information.
Emergency Key Feature
The key fob also contains an emergency key. 
The emergency key is stored in the bottom of 
the key fob.
Mechanical Latch To Release Emergency Key
 The emergency key allows for entry into the 
vehicle should the battery in the vehicle or the 
key become depleted. The emergency key is 
also for locking/unlocking the glove 
compartment. You can keep the emergency key 
with you when valet parking.
To remove the emergency key, press the 
mechanical button on the side of the key fob 
with your thumb and pull the emergency key out 
with your other hand while pushing the 
mechanical button.
To Lock The Doors And Liftgate
Push and release the lock button on the key fob 
to lock all doors and liftgate. The hazard lights 
will flash once and the horn will chirp once to 
acknowledge the signal. Settings in radio can 
change to lights only, chirp only, or both.
Refer to “Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry” in 
this chapter for further information.
Key Fob With Remote Control And Integrated 
Vehicle Key
If one or more doors are open or the liftgate is 
open, the doors can be locked. This is signaled 
by a quick flash of the turn signals.
Vehicles Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go — 
Passive Entry
If one or more doors are open, or the liftgate is 
open, the doors can be locked. The doors will 
unlock again only if the key is inside the 
passenger compartment.
Key Fob Battery Replacement
The recommended replacement battery is one 
CR2032 battery.
NOTE:
Batteries contain harmful chemicals. 
Dispose old batteries by placing them in 
correct containers according to the law or by 
taking them to a dealership, where they will 
be handled appropriately.
Perchlorate Material — special handling may 
apply. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazard
-
ouswaste/perchlorate for further informa -
tion.
Do not touch the battery terminals that are 
on the back housing or the printed circuit 
board.

1. Remove the emergency key by pushing the 
mechanical release button on the side of 
the key fob with your thumb and then pull 
the key out with your other hand.
Emergency Key Removal
2. Insert a coin, a flat blade screw driver, or the  tip of your emergency key into the now 
exposed slot and carefully pry on both sides 
to disengage the snaps. Gently remove the 
back cover from the fob, being careful not to 
damage any of the snaps.
 Separating The Key Fob Case
3. Remove the battery by sliding the battery  rearward in its pocket until the battery lifts 
up. Remove the depleted battery from the 
battery pocket and dispose appropriately.
4. Fit a new CR2032 battery ensuring that the  positive (+) side is facing upwards. Push the 
battery into the pocket until it is firmly 
seated in place and secured under both 
tabs.
5. Align the back cover into its original position  and snap it back in place by pushing it 
against the fob until it is seated all around.Programming Additional Key Fobs 
Programming the key fob may be performed by 
an authorized dealer.
NOTE:
Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, it 
cannot be repurposed and reprogrammed to 
another vehicle.
Request For Additional Remote Controls
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 
programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be 
programmed to any other vehicle.
CAUTION!
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 remember to 
place the ignition in the OFF position.

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.

Start the vehicle
The engine only runs in the ON/RUN ignition 
position or from a remote start request.
In case the ignition switch does not change with 
the push of a button, the key fob may have a low 
or depleted battery. 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 
START/STOP ignition button and push to 
operate the ignition switch.
Backup Starting Method
 NOTE:
The key fob may not be able to be detected by 
the vehicle keyless-go 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 keyless-go 
system from starting the vehicle.
NOTE:
For further information, refer to "Starting The 
Engine" in "Starting And Operating."
REMOTE STARTING SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED   
If applicable, refer to the “Hybrid Supplement” 
for additional information.
This system uses the key fob to start the 
engine conveniently from outside the 
vehicle while still maintaining security. 
The system has a range of 328 ft (100 m).
WARNING!
When leaving the vehicle, always remove 
the key fob from the vehicle and lock your 
vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or 
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unat -
tended is dangerous for a number of 
reasons. A child or others could be seriously 
or fatally injured. Children should be 
warned not to touch the parking brake, 
brake pedal or the gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the 
vehicle, or in a location accessible to chil-
dren, and do not leave the ignition of a 
vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go 
in the RUN mode. A child could operate 
power windows, other controls, or move the 
vehicle.
Do not leave children or animals inside 
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior 
heat build-up may cause serious injury or 
death.
CAUTION!
An unlocked car is an invitation. Always 
remove the key fobs from the vehicle and lock 
all doors when leaving the vehicle 
unattended.

SENTRY KEY
The Sentry Key Immobilizer system prevents 
unauthorized vehicle operation by disabling the 
engine. The system does not need to be armed 
or activated. Operation is automatic, regardless 
of whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked. The system uses a key fob, keyless push button 
ignition and a Radio Frequency (RF) receiver to 
prevent unauthorized vehicle operation. 
Therefore, only key fobs that are programmed 
to the vehicle can be used to start and operate 
the vehicle. The system cannot reprogram a key 
fob obtained from another vehicle.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON/RUN 
position, the vehicle security light will turn on for 
three seconds for a bulb check. If the light 
remains on after the bulb check, it indicates 
that there is a problem with the electronics. In 
addition, if the light begins to flash after the 
bulb check, it indicates that someone 
attempted to start the engine with an invalid key 
fob. In the event that a valid key fob is used to 
start the engine but there is an issue with the 
vehicle electronics, the engine will start and 
shut off after two seconds.
If the vehicle security light turns on during 
normal vehicle operation (vehicle running for 
longer than 10 seconds), it indicates that there 
is a fault in the electronics. Should this occur, 
have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible by 
an authorized dealer.
