GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
KEYS
KEY FOB
Your vehicle is equipped with a key fob which
supports Passive Entry, Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE), Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ (if equipped), Remote
Start (if equipped), and remote power liftgate
operation. The key fob allows you to lock or unlock
the doors and liftgate, optional power liftgate, left
power sliding door, and right power sliding door,
from distances up to approximately 66 ft (20 m).
When any button on the key fob is pushed, or when
any signal is being transferred between the key fob
and the vehicle, an LED light on the key fob will
flash as an indicator. 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 in the rear of the key fob.The emergency key allows for entry into the vehicle
should the battery in the vehicle or the key fob
become depleted. The emergency key is also for
locking/unlocking the glove compartment. You can
keep the emergency key with you when valet
parking.
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 performance.
If your vehicle is equipped with a Wireless
Charging Pad, the key fob may not be detected
if it is placed within 6 inches (15 cm) of the pad

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.
NOTE:
A low key fob battery condition may be indicated
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.
The key fob LED light brightness is designed for
indoor light viewing, so the LED light may not be
visible in direct sunlight Ú page 387.

flash and the illuminated entry system will be
activated. When the doors are locked, the turn
signals will flash and the horn will chirp. Settings in
the Uconnect system can change to lights only,
chirp only, or both. Vehicles Equipped With Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ —
Passive Entry
If one or more doors are open, or the liftgate is
open, the doors can be locked. The doors will

TO ARM THE SYSTEM
Follow these steps to arm the Vehicle Security
system:

1. Make sure the vehicle’s ignition is placed in
the OFF position
Ú
page 132.

For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter ‘n
Go™— Passive Entry, make sure the vehicle
ignition system is OFF.
2. Perform one of the following methods to lock the vehicle:
Push lock on the interior power door lock
switch with the driver and/or passenger
door open.
Push the lock button on the exterior Passive
Entry door handle with a valid key fob avail -
able in the same exterior zone Ú page 24.
Push the lock button on the key fob.
3. If any doors are open, close them.
TO DISARM THE SYSTEM
The Vehicle Security system can be disarmed using
any of the following methods:
Push the unlock button on the key fob.
Grab the Passive Entry door handle (if equipped)
Ú page 24.
Hands-Free Liftgate Passive Entry activation
(if equipped).
Cycle the vehicle ignition system out of the OFF
position.
For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter ‘n
Go™ — Passive Entry, push the keyless igni -
tion START/STOP ignition button (requires
at least one valid key fob in the vehicle).
NOTE:
The driver's door key cylinder and the liftgate
button on the key fob cannot arm or disarm the
Vehicle Security system.
The Vehicle Security system remains armed
during power liftgate entry. Pushing the liftgate
button will not disarm the Vehicle Security
system. If someone enters the vehicle through
the liftgate and opens any door, the alarm will
sound.
When the Vehicle Security system is armed, the
interior power door lock switches will not unlock
the doors. The Vehicle Security system is designed to protect
your vehicle. However, you can create conditions
where the system will give you a false alarm. If one
of the previously described arming sequences has
occurred, the Vehicle Security system 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 system.
If the Vehicle Security system is armed and the
battery becomes disconnected, the Vehicle
Security system will remain armed when the
battery is reconnected; the exterior lights will flash,
and the horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm the
Vehicle Security system.
REARMING OF THE SYSTEM
If something triggers the alarm and no action is
taken to disarm it, the Vehicle Security system will
turn the horn off after a 29 second cycle (with 5
seconds between cycles and up to 8 cycles if the
trigger remains active) and then rearm itself.

POWER DOOR LOCKS — IF EQUIPPED
A power door lock switch is on each front door trim
panel. Use this switch to lock or unlock the doors.
Driver Power Door Lock Switches

If you push the power door lock switch while the
ignition is in the ACC or ON/RUN position, and any
front door is open, the power locks will not operate.
This prevents you from accidentally locking your
keys in the vehicle. Placing the ignition in the OFF
position or closing the door will allow the locks to
operate. A chime will sound if the ignition is in the
ACC or ON/RUN position and a door is open, as a
reminder to place the ignition in the OFF position
and remove the key fob.
KEYLESS ENTER ‘N GO™ — PASSIVE
E
NTRY
The Passive Entry system is an enhancement to
the vehicle’s Remote Keyless Entry system and a
feature of Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ — Passive Entry.
This feature allows you to lock and unlock the
vehicle’s door(s) without having to push the key fob
lock or unlock buttons.
NOTE:
Passive Entry may be programmed on/off
through the Uconnect system Ú page 189.
The key fob may not be detected by the vehicle
passive entry system if it is located next to a
mobile phone, laptop, or other electronic device;
these devices may block the key fob’s wireless
signal and prevent the passive entry handle
from locking/unlocking the vehicle.
If set by the customer in the Uconnect Settings,
unlocking with Passive Entry will initiate illumi -
nated approach (low beams, license plate
lamp, position lamps) for the time 0, 30, 60 or
90 seconds. Passive Entry also initiates two
flashes of the turn lamps.
If wearing gloves, or if it has been raining/
snowing on the Passive Entry door handle, the
unlock sensitivity can be affected, resulting in a
slower response time.
If the vehicle is unlocked by Passive Entry and
no door is opened within 60 seconds, the
vehicle will relock and will arm the security
system (if equipped).
The sliding side doors can be unlocked from the
outside using the hands-free or Passive Entry
system.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing chil -
dren to be in a vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously 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 children, and do
not leave Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ Ignition in the
ACC or ON/RUN position. A child could operate
power windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.

Frequency Operated Button Integrated Key
(FOBIK-Safe)
To minimize the possibility of unintentionally
locking a key fob inside your vehicle, the Passive
Entry system is equipped with an automatic door
unlock feature.
There are three situations that trigger a
FOBIK-Safe search in any Passive Entry vehicle:
A lock request is made by a valid key fob while a
door is open.
A lock request is made by the Passive Entry door
handle while a door is open.
A lock request is made by the door panel switch
while the door is open.
When any of these situations occur, after all open
doors are shut, the FOBIK-Safe search will be
executed. If it detects a key fob inside the car, and
it does not detect any key fob outside the car, then
the car will unlock and alert the customer.
NOTE:The vehicle will only unlock the doors when a valid
Passive Entry key fob is detected inside the
vehicle, and no valid key fob is detected outside
the vehicle. The vehicle will not unlock the doors
when any of the following conditions are met:
The doors are manually locked using the door
lock knobs.
Three attempts are made to lock the doors
using the door panel switch and then the doors
are closed.
There is a valid Passive Entry key fob outside the
vehicle and within 5 ft (1.5 m) of either Passive
Entry door handle.
NOTE:On the third attempt ALL doors will lock and the key
fob can be locked in the vehicle.

liftgate, cycle the handle to open the liftgate and
pull the liftgate open.
To Lock The Vehicle’s Doors And Liftgate
With one of the vehicle’s key fobs within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the driver or passenger front door
handle, push the door handle lock button to lock all
four doors and the liftgate.
