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
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 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

ON/RUN or START position, the message “Key
Fob Has Left The Vehicle” will be shown in the
instrument cluster display along with an interior
chime. An exterior audible and visual alert will
also be activated to warn the driver.
The vehicle’s horn will rapidly chirp three times
along with a single flash of the vehicle’s exterior
lights.
22_GU_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 19

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 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 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 247.
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
compatible with some aftermarket remote
starting systems. Use of these systems may
result in vehicle starting problems and loss of
security protection.

page 247.

WARNING!

When exiting the vehicle, always make sure the
ignition is in the OFF position, 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
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 the Keyless Push
Button Ignition in the ON/RUN position. 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
buildup may cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
An unlocked vehicle is an invitation for thieves.
