KEYS 
Key Fob
Key FobYour  vehicle  uses  a  keyless  ignition  system.
The ignition system consists of a key fob with
Keyless Go  and a START/STOP push button
ignition  system.  The  Remote  Keyless  Entry
(RKE)  system  consists  of  a  key  fob  with  a
mechanical  key  and  Keyless  Enter-N-Go
feature (if equipped).
NOTE:
The  key  fob  may  not  be  detected  by  the
vehicle 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  swing  gate  from  distances  up  to
approximately  66 ft  (20 m).  The  key  fob
does not need to be pointed at the vehicle to
activate the system. NOTE:
With  the  ignition  in  the  ON/RUN  position
and  with  the  vehicle  doors  open,  the  lock
button will be disabled, and only the unlock
button  will  be  enabled.  All  RKE  commands
will  be  disabled  once  the  vehicle  begins
moving at 2 mph (4 km/h) or above.
Backup Mode Starting
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.
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.

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
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. NOTE:
When  having  the  Sentry  Key  Immobilizer
System  serviced,  bring  all  vehicle  keys
with you to an authorized dealer.
Keys  must  be  ordered  to  the  correct  key
cut to match the vehicle locks.
IGNITION SWITCH  
Keyless Enter-N-Go — Ignition
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
compartment.
The Keyless Push Button Ignition has several
operating  modes  that  are  labeled  and  will
illuminate  when  in  position.  These  modes
are OFF, ACC, RUN, and START.
NOTE:
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 situa
-
tion,  a  back  up  method  can  be  used  to
operate the ignition switch. Put the nose side
of the key fob (side with the mechanical key)
against the START/STOP ignition button and
push to operate the ignition switch.

REMOTE STARTING 
SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED  
This  system  uses  the  key  fob  to
start  the  engine  conveniently  from
outside the vehicle while still main-
taining  security.  The  system  has  a
range of 328 ft (100 m).
The  Remote  Starting  System  also  activates
the  Climate  Control,  vented  seats  (if
equipped)  in  temperatures  above  80°F
(26.7°C), the heated seats (if equipped), and
heated  steering  wheel  (if  equipped)  in
temperatures  below  40°F  (4.4°C).  Refer  to
“Heated  Seats”  in  “Getting  To  Know  Your
Vehicle”  in  the  Owner’s  Manual  for  further
information.
NOTE:
The  vehicle  must  be  equipped  with  an
automatic  transmission  to  be  equipped

Obstructions between the vehicle and key
fob may reduce this range.
How To Use Remote Start
Push  the  Remote  Start  button on  the  key
fob twice within five seconds. Pushing the
Remote Start button a third time shuts the
engine off.
To  drive  the  vehicle,  push  the  unlock
button,  and  place  the  ignition  in  the  ON/
RUN position.
With remote start, the engine will only run
for  15 minutes  (timeout)  unless  the  igni -
tion key is placed in the ON/RUN position.
The  vehicle  must  be  started  with  the  key
after two consecutive timeouts.
All  of  the  following  conditions  must  be  met
before the engine will remote start:
Gear Selector in PARK
Doors closed
Hood closed
Swing Gate closed
Hazard switch off

To Disarm The System
The  vehicle  security  alarm  can  be  disarmed
using any of the following methods:
Push the unlock button on the key fob.
Grasp  the  Passive  Entry  Unlock  Door
Handle.  Refer  to  "Keyless  Enter-N-Go"  in
“Doors”  in  this  chapter  for  further  infor-
mation.
Cycle  the  vehicle  ignition  system  out  of
the  OFF  position  by  pushing  the  Keyless
Enter-N-Go  START/STOP  ignition  button
(requires  at  least one  valid  key fob in  the
vehicle).
NOTE:
The driver's door key cylinder and the lift -
gate  button  on  the  key  fob  cannot  arm or
disarm the vehicle security alarm.
The vehicle security alarm remains armed
during  power  liftgate  entry.  Pushing  the
liftgate  button will not disarm the  vehicle
security  alarm.  If  someone  enters  the
vehicle through the liftgate and opens any
door the alarm will sound.
When the vehicle security alarm is armed,
the  interior  power  door  lock  switches  will
not unlock the doors.
The  ultrasonic  intrusion  sensor  (motion
detector)  actively  monitors  your  vehicle
every time you arm the security system. If
you prefer, you can turn off the ultrasonic
intrusion sensor when arming the security
system. To do so, push the lock button on
the key fob three times within 15 seconds
of  arming  the  system  (while  the  vehicle
security light is flashing rapidly).
The  vehicle  security  alarm  is  designed  to
protect your vehicle; however, you can avoid
conditions where the system may give you a
nuisance  alarm.  Conditions  include  any
person,  or  pet,  left  inside  the  vehicle  or
hanging items that may sway (e.g. from rear
view  mirrors,  visors,  etc).  Windows  and  roof
panels  should  be  closed  to  prevent  wind,
leaves,  and  other  debris  from  blowing  into
the vehicle. Items left in the vehicle that may
shift over a period of time (e.g. plastic bags,
clothes,  or  groceries),  could  result  in  a
nuisance alarm. Additionally,  extreme  environmental  condi
-
tions  (wind,  rain,  hail,  thunder,  etc.),  or
extreme noise  (audio  systems, traffic condi -
tions,  trains,  etc.),  or  direct  impacts  to  the
vehicle  may  result  in  a  nuisance  alarming
condition.
If  one  of  the  previously  described  arming
sequences has occurred, the vehicle security
alarm will arm regardless of whether you are
in  the  vehicle  or  not.  If  you  remain  in  the
vehicle  and  open  a  door,  the  alarm  will
sound.  If  this  occurs,  disarm  the  vehicle
security alarm.
If the vehicle security alarm is armed and the
battery  becomes  disconnected,  the  vehicle
security  alarm  will  remain  armed  when  the
battery is reconnected; the exterior lights will
flash,  the  horn  will  sound.  If  this  occurs,
disarm the vehicle security alarm.
Security System Manual Override
The system will not arm if you lock the doors
using the manual door lock.
