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.
21_GU_OM_EN_USC_t.book  Page 20

Keyless Ignition START/STOP Button
The push button ignition can be placed in the
following modes:
OFF  
The engine is stopped
Steering is locked
Some  electrical  devices  (e.g.  central
locking, alarm, etc.) are still available
ACC  
Engine is not started
Some  electrical  devices  are  available  (e.g.
power windows)
ON/RUN  
The  engine  will  start  (when  foot  is  on  the
brake pedal)
All  the  electrical  devices  are  available  (e.g.
climate controls, etc.)
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
ignition button to start the ignition.
Key Fob Placement Location
NOTE:
For  more  information  on  proper  engine
starting procedures, see  
Ú
 page 86.
With the keyless ignition in the ACC position,
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.
