Key Fob
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 directions to follow.
NOTE:
A low key fob battery condition may be indi
-
cated by a message in the instrument cluster 
display, or by the LED light on the key fob. If 
the LED key fob light no longer illuminates 
from key fob button pushes, then the key fob 
battery requires replacement.
The key fob LED light brightness is designed 
for indoor light viewing, so the LED light may 
not be visible in direct sunlight. In a situation where the battery is low or fully 
depleted, a back up method can be used to 
operate the ignition switch. Put the nose side of 
the key fob (side opposite of the Emergency 
Key) against the START/STOP ignition button 
and push to operate the ignition switch.

WARNING!
For personal security and safety in the 
event of a collision, lock the vehicle doors 
before you drive as well as when you park 
and leave the vehicle.
Never use the PARK position as a substi -
tute for the parking brake. Always apply the 
parking brake fully when parked to guard 
against vehicle movement and possible 
injury or damage.
When exiting the vehicle, always make sure 
the keyless ignition node is in the “OFF” 
mode, remove the key fob from the vehicle 
and lock the 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

position and a door is open, as a reminder to 
place the ignition in the OFF position and 
remove the key fob.
Unlock Doors Automatically On Exit — If 
Equipped
The Unlock Doors Automatically On Exit feature 
unlocks all of the vehicle doors when any door 
is opened. This will occur only after the gear 
selector has been placed into the PARK 
position, after the vehicle has been driven (the 
gear selector has been placed out of PARK and 
all doors closed).
The Unlock Doors Automatically On Exit feature 
will not operate if there is any manual operation 
of the door locks (lock or unlock).
For further information, refer to “Uconnect 
Settings” in “Multimedia”.
Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry
The Passive Entry system is an enhancement to 
the vehicle’s Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) 
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:
Passive Entry may be programmed on/off. 
Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” 
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 will arm the security 
alarm (if equipped).
The sliding side doors can be unlocked from 
the outside using the hands free or Passive 
Entry system.
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.
If set by the customer in the Uconnect 
Settings, unlocking with Passive Entry will 
initiate illuminated approach (low beams, 
license plate lamp, position lamps) for the 
time 0, 30 (default), 60 or 90 seconds.
