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 Remote
Keyless Entry system consists 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 electronic
device; these devices may block the key fob’s
wireless signal.
The key fob allows you to lock or unlock the
doors and trunk from distances up to
approximately 66 feet (20 m). The key fob does
not need to be pointed at the vehicle to activate
the system. NOTE:
SRT vehicles, equipped with the 6.2L Super
-
charged engine, come with three key fobs (two
red and one black) that allow for different
engine power levels.
NOTE:
In the ON/RUN position, key fob commands are
disabled if the vehicle is at or above 2 mph
(4 km/h).

20_LD_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 12

Key Fob
The key fob also contains an emergency key,
which is stored in the rear of the key fob.

with you when valet parking. To remove the emergency key, slide the
mechanical release button on the back of the
key fob sideways with your thumb and then pull
the key out with your other hand.

Emergency Key Removal Process

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 display, which will display directions to

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

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. 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.

When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer system
serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to an
authorized dealer.General Information
