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)

Proceed in one of the following ways to realign
the door lock device (only when the battery
charge has been restored):
Push the lock button on the key fob
Push the unlock button on the door panel
Unlock the driver’s door lock cylinder with the
emergency key
Operate the internal door handle
NOTE:
For the rear doors, if the Child Safety Locks are
engaged, and the previously described locking
procedure is carried out, operating the internal
handle will not open the door. Instead, it will only
realign the lock release device. To open the door,
the outside handle must be used. The door
central locking/unlocking buttons are not deacti-
vated when the emergency lock is engaged.
PASSIVE ENTRY SYSTEM
The Passive Entry system is an enhancement to
the vehicle’s key fob. This feature allows you to
lock and unlock the vehicle’s door(s) and trunk lid
without having to push the key fob lock or unlock
buttons.
NOTE:
Passive Entry may be programmed on/off
through the radio screen. Refer to the
Information and Entertainment System
Owner’s Manual Supplement for Passive Entry
settings.
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
system from locking/unlocking the vehicle.
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 (if equipped) will arm
the Vehicle Security system.
To Unlock From The Driver Or Passenger Side
With a valid Passive Entry key fob close to the
door handle, grab the handle to unlock the
vehicle. Grabbing the driver’s door handle will
unlock the driver door automatically. Grabbing
the passenger door handle will unlock all doors
and the trunk lid automatically.
Passive Entry Door Handle
NOTE:
Either the driver door only or all doors will
unlock when you grab hold of the front driver’s
door handle, depending on the selected
setting in the radio. Refer to the Information and Entertainment System Owner’s Manual
Supplement for Passive Entry settings.
All doors will unlock when the front passenger
door handle is grabbed regardless of the
driver’s door unlock preference setting.
Exterior Trunk Lid Release Switch (Vehicles With Passive Entry)
Frequency Operated Button Integrated Key
(FOBIK-Safe)
To minimize the possibility of unintentionally
locking a Passive Entry key fob inside your
vehicle, the Passive Entry system is equipped
with an automatic door unlock feature which will
function if the ignition switch is in the OFF
position.
The vehicle will not unlock the doors if an
unauthorized key fob has been detected close to
the outside of the vehicle.
If the Passive Entry function is disabled through
the radio screen, the protections to avoid
accidentally leaving the key fob inside the vehicle
are deactivated.

Until the temperature drastically changes within
the cabin, the climate control system will
continue to maintain the temperature while the
engine is off. By deactivating the Stop/Start
system with the button (located by the
headlight switch), the climate control system
operates normally according to the settings.
NOTE:
In harsh climate conditions, limit the use of the
Stop/Start system to prevent the compressor
from continuously switching on and off. This
will prevent rapid misting of the windows and
the accumulation of humidity in the passenger
compartment.
When the Stop/Start system is on, the climate
control system will always take air in from
outside, reducing the probability of the
windows fogging up.
System Maintenance
In winter months, the Climate Control system
must be turned on at least once a month for
approximately ten minutes.
Have the system inspected at an authorized
dealer before the summer.
INTERIOR STORAGE AND
EQUIPMENT

turns on to illuminate the inside of the
compartment.
NOTE:
If equipped with a lock, unlock the glove
compartment by placing the emergency key in
the lock on the handle.
Do not insert large objects that will prevent the
glove compartment from closing completely.

upper part of the center console.
Center Console
POWER OUTLET
Your vehicle is equipped with a 12 Volt (15 Amp)
power outlet that can be used to power cellular
phones, small electronics and other low powered
electrical accessories. The power outlet is labeled
with a key symbol to indicate how the outlet is
powered. Power outlets labeled with a key are
powered when the ignition is in the ON/RUN or
ACC position.

NOTE:
All accessories connected to powered outlets
should be removed or turned off when the vehicle
is not in use to protect the battery against
discharge.
115 Volt Power Inverter — If Equipped
The Power Inverter is located inside of the center
console. It can be used for small battery-powered
electrical appliances with powers up to 150 W
(e.g. cameras, video camera, tablets, razors,
etc.).
NOTE:
Do not connect devices with powers higher than
150 W to the socket. Do not damage the socket
by using unsuitable adapters.Center Console Power Outlet
CIGAR LIGHTER AND ASH TRAY —
I
F EQUIPPED
If equipped, the cigar lighter is located on the
bottom of the center stack, in front of the
cupholders.

If equipped, the ash tray is a removable plastic
container located inside the cupholder.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Only devices designed for use in this type of
outlet should be inserted into any 12 Volt
outlet.
Do not touch with wet hands.
Close the lid when not in use and while
driving the vehicle.
If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an
electric shock and failure.
CAUTION!
Power outlets are designed for accessory
plugs only. Do not insert any other object in
the power outlets as this will damage the
outlet and blow the fuse. Improper use of the
power outlet can cause damage not covered
by your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Many accessories that can be plugged in
draw power from the vehicle's battery, even
when not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.).
Eventually, if plugged in long enough, the
vehicle's battery will discharge sufficiently to
degrade battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.
Accessories that draw higher power (i.e.,
coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will
degrade the battery even more quickly. Only
use these intermittently and with greater
caution.
After the use of high power draw accessories,
or long periods of the vehicle not being
started (with accessories still plugged in), the
vehicle must be driven a sufficient length of
time to allow the generator to recharge the
vehicle's battery.
WARNING!
