In this section, you will find important information
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
trunk operation. The key fob allows you to lock or
unlock the doors and trunk lid. 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 performance.
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 directions to follow

Ú
page 238.
To Lock/Unlock The Doors And Trunk
Push and release the unlock button on the key
fob once to unlock the driver’s door, or twice
within five seconds to unlock all the doors and the
trunk lid. To lock all the doors and the trunk lid,
push the lock button once. If the trunk lid is open
when the lock button is pushed, the trunk lid will
lock when it is closed.
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. 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 trunk lid is open, the
doors will lock. The doors will unlock again auto
-
matically 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.
Trunk Lid Opening
Rapidly push the trunk lid key fob button twice to
open the trunk lid. The turn signals will flash to
indicate that the trunk lid has been opened.
Locking/Unlocking Doors From The Outside In An
Emergency
If the battery is discharged or the key fob is
inoperable, you can lock or unlock the doors from
the outside by inserting the blade of the
emergency key, found inside the key fob, into the
door handle lock cylinder and turn the emergency
key as follows.
Lock — Turn the emergency key to the right
(clockwise)
Unlock — Turn the emergency key to the left
(counterclockwise)
22_GA_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 19

21

Proceed in reverse order to reassemble the key
fob.
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 repurposed and reprogrammed 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.

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
unauthorized vehicle operation by disabling the
engine. The system does not need to be armed 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 operation. 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 238.
WARNING!
The integrated key fob contains a coin cell
battery. Do not ingest the battery; there is a
chemical burn hazard. If the coin cell battery
is swallowed, it can cause severe internal
burns in just two hours and can lead to
death.
If you think a battery may have been
swallowed or placed inside any part of the
body, seek immediate medical attention.
Keep new and used batteries away from
children. If the battery compartment does
not close securely, stop using the product
and keep it away from children.
CAUTION!
The battery replacement operation must be
done with care, in order not to damage the
electronic key.
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 position.
CAUTION!
The Engine Immobilizer system is not compati -
ble with some aftermarket Remote Start sys -
tems. Use of these systems may result in
vehicle starting problems and loss of security
protection.

control of the vehicle. Failure to follow this
warning may result in serious injury or death.
Do not place any objects on the steering
wheel (e.g. permanently fixed covers of any
type or material) which could interfere with
the capacitive hand detection sensor on the
steering wheel of the Active Blind Spot Assist
(ABSA), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Traffic
Jam Assist (TJA) or Highway Assist (HAS)
systems (if equipped).
WARNING!
It is absolutely forbidden to carry out any
after-market operation involving steering sys -
tem or steering column modifications (e.g.
installation of anti-theft device) that could
adversely affect performance. Doing so could
void the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, cause
SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEMS INCLUDING
INJURY, and could result in the vehicle not
meeting applicable government
safety regulations.
WARNING!
Persons who are unable to feel pain to the
skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion, or other
physical conditions must exercise care when
using the steering wheel heater. It may
cause burns even at low temperatures,
especially if used for long periods.
Do not place anything on the steering wheel
that insulates against heat, such as a

same as the front heated seat controls.
Rear Heated Seat Buttons

NOTE:
To preserve the battery charge, this function
cannot be activated when the engine is off.
HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of
injury by restricting head movement in the event
of a rear impact. Head restraints should be
adjusted so that the top of the head restraint is
located above the top of your ear.
WARNING!
Persons who are unable to feel pain to the
skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion or other
physical condition must exercise care when
using the seat heater. It may cause burns
even at low temperatures, especially if used
for long periods of time.
Do not place anything on the seat or
seatback that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion. This may cause the
seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat that
has been overheated could cause serious
burns due to the increased surface
temperature of the seat.
WARNING!

A loose head restraint thrown forward in a
collision or hard stop could cause serious injury
or death to occupants of the vehicle. Always
securely stow removed head restraints in a
location outside the occupant compartment.
