KEYS
Key Fob
Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system. The
ignition system consists of a key fob and a
START/STOP push button ignition system. The
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system consists of
a key fob and Keyless Enter-N-Go feature.
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 all
doors, tailgate, and the RamBox (if equipped),
as well as release the tailgate, and activate the
Panic Alarm 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:
In the ON/RUN position, all key fob buttons
will work until the vehicle reaches 2 mph
(4 km/h).
The key fob should not be placed next to the
wireless charging pad (if equipped).

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.
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.
To Unlock The Doors And Tailgate
Push and release the unlock button on the key
fob once to unlock the driver’s door. Push the
unlock button twice within five seconds to
unlock all doors, the tailgate and the RamBox (if
equipped). The turn signal lights will flash to
acknowledge the unlock signal. The illuminated
entry system will also turn on.
NOTE:
All doors can be programmed to unlock on the
first push of the unlock button. Refer to “Ucon
-
nect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further infor -
mation.

REMOTE START — IF EQUIPPED
(GASOLINE)
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
approximately 300 ft (91 m).
NOTE:
Obstructions between the vehicle and the key
fob may reduce this range.
How To Use Remote Start
All of the following conditions must be met
before the engine will remote start:
Gear selector in PARK
Doors closed
Hood closed
Hazard switch off
Brake switch inactive (brake pedal not
pushed)
Battery at an acceptable charge level
PANIC button not pushed
Fuel meets minimum requirement
System not disabled from previous remote
start event
Vehicle security alarm not active
Malfunction Indicator Light is not illuminated
Remote Start Abort Message
The following messages will display in the
instrument cluster display if the vehicle fails to
remote start or exits remote start prematurely:
Remote Start Cancelled — Door Open
Remote Start Cancelled — Hood Open
Remote Start Cancelled — Fuel Low
Remote Start Cancelled — System Fault
Remote Start Disabled — Start Vehicle to
Reset
The instrument cluster display message stays
active until the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN
position.
To Enter Remote Start Mode
Push and release the Remote Start
button on the key fob twice within five
seconds. The parking lights will flash,
vehicle doors will lock, and the horn
will chirp twice (if programmed). Once the
vehicle has started, the engine will run for
15 minutes.
WARNING!
Do not start or run an engine in a closed
garage or confined area. Exhaust gas
contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is
odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is
poisonous and can cause serious injury or
death when inhaled.
Keep key fobs away from children. Opera -
tion of the Remote Start System, windows,
door locks or other controls could cause
serious injury or death.
