Radio Transmitters And Mobile Phones
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB radios, amateur radio etc.) cannot be used inside the vehicle unless a separate antenna
is mounted externally.
Transmission and reception of these devices may be affected by the shielding effect of the vehicle body. As far as the use of approved mobile
phones is concerned, follow the usage instructions provided by the mobile phone manufacturer.
CAUTION!
The use of these devices inside the passenger compartment (without an external antenna) may cause the electrical systems to malfunction.
This could compromise the safety of the vehicle in addition to constituting a potential hazard for passengers' health.
If mobile phones/laptops/smartphones/tablets are inside the vehicle and/or close to the electronic key, a reduced performance of the Passive
Entry/Keyless Start system may occur.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
In this section, you will find important informa-
tion to help you become familiar with the
features needed to operate your vehicle, and
how they function.
KEYS
Key Fob
Your vehicle is equipped with a key fob which
supports Passive Entry, Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE), Remote Start (if equipped), and remote
liftgate operation. The key fob allows you to
lock or unlock the doors and liftgate. The key
fob does not need to be pointed at the vehicle
to activate the system. The key fob also
contains an emergency key, which is stored
inside the key fob.

NOTE:

The key fob’s wireless signal may be
blocked if the key fob is located next to a
mobile phone, laptop, or other electronic
device. This may result in poor perfor -
mance.
With ignition in the ON position and the
vehicle moving at 2 mph (4 km/h), all RKE commands are disabled. 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 direc -
tions to follow
Ú
page 268.
To Lock/Unlock The Doors And Liftgate
Push and release the unlock button on the key
fob once to unlock the driver’s door or twice
within one second to unlock all doors and the
liftgate. To lock all the doors and the liftgate,
push the lock button once.
The current unlock setting can be changed
through the radio system menu, so that the
system unlocks:
All doors on the first push of the key fob
unlock button.
The driver door on the first push of the key
fob unlock button.
The liftgate "independently" or "with doors". When the doors are locked/unlocked, the turn
signals will flash and the illuminated entry
system will be activated.

NOTE:

If one or more doors are open when the lock
button is pushed, or the liftgate is open, the
doors will lock. The doors will unlock again
automatically if the key is left inside the
passenger compartment, otherwise the doors
will stay locked.
Flashing of the turn signals upon locking/
unlocking the doors, and activation of the
courtesy light upon unlocking the doors, can
be activated or deactivated through the radio
system. For further information, refer to the
Information and Entertainment System
Owner’s Manual Supplement.
Opening The Liftgate
Rapidly push the button on the key fob twice to
open the liftgate. The turn signals will flash to
indicate that the liftgate has been opened.
Replacing The Battery In The Key Fob
The recommended replacement battery is one
CR2032 battery.

NOTE:

Customers are recommended to use a
battery obtained from Mopar. Aftermarket
coin battery dimensions may not meet the
original OEM coin battery dimensions.

Programming And Requesting 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 re-purposed and repro-
grammed to another vehicle.
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
Ú
page 268.
NOTE:

When having the Engine Immobilizer
system serviced, bring all vehicle keys with
you to an authorized dealer.
For Quadrifoglio models, if you need a
replacement key fob, contact an authorized
dealer.
ENGINE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
The Engine Immobilizer system prevents unau-
thorized use of the vehicle by disabling engine
starting. The system does not need to be
enabled 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 oper
-
ation. Therefore, only key fobs that are
programmed to the vehicle can be used to
start and operate the vehicle. The system will
shut the engine off in two seconds if an invalid
key fob is used to start the engine.
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 used an
invalid key fob to start the engine. Either of
these conditions will result in the engine being
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.
All of the key fobs provided with your new
vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle
electronics.

NOTE:

A key fob that has not been programmed is
also considered an invalid key
Ú

page 268.
IGNITION SWITCH
Keyless Push Button 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 START/STOP ignition button has several
operating modes. These modes are OFF, ACC,
and ON/RUN.
WARNING!
Always remove the key fobs from the
vehicle and lock all doors when leaving
the vehicle unattended.
Always remember to place the ignition in
the OFF mode.
CAUTION!
The Engine Immobilizer system is not
compatible with some aftermarket remote
starting systems. Use of these systems may
result in vehicle starting problems and loss
of security protection.

If the ignition switch does not change the
mode by pushing the 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. Proceed as follows:
1. Lift the front armrest.
2. Lay the key fob on the indicated spot in the
bottom of the center console, positioning
the key fob as shown in the following
image, while pushing the START/STOP

if 30 minutes pass with the gear selector in
PARK and the engine stopped, the keyless
ignition will automatically reset to the OFF
position.
When opening the driver's door with the
ignition in the ACC position (engine not
running), a chime will sound to remind you
to place the ignition in the OFF position. In addition to the chime, the message will
display “Ignition Or Accessory On” in the
cluster
Ú

page 268.
WARNING!
When exiting the vehicle, always make
sure the ignition is in the OFF mode,
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 seri -
ously 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 ON/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.
