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.

VEHICLE SECURITY 
SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security system monitors the vehicle 
doors, hood, liftgate, and the keyless push button 
ignition for unauthorized operation. It also 
monitors movement inside the passenger 
compartment (volumetric protection — if 
equipped), cutting of battery cables, and 
unexpected lifting/tilting of the vehicle (anti-lift 
protection — if equipped).
While the Vehicle Security system is armed, 
interior switches for door locks are disabled.
If something triggers the alarm, the Vehicle 
Security system will provide the following audible 
and visible signals:
The horn will pulse
The turn signals will flash
The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument 
cluster will flash
NOTE:
The Vehicle Security system is activated by the 
Engine Immobilizer system, which is automati-
cally activated when you get out of the vehicle 
with the key fob and lock the doors.
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. 2. Perform one of the following methods to lock
the vehicle:
• Push the lock button on the interior power 
door lock switch with the driver and/orpassenger door open.
• Push the lock button on the exterior
Passive Entry door handle with a valid keyfob available in the same exterior zone
Ú
page 26.
• Push the lock button on the key fob.
3. If any doors (or liftgate) 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 to unlock 
the door  
Ú
page 26.
Cycle the ignition out of the OFF position to 
disarm the system.
NOTE:
The driver's door key cylinder and liftgate 
button on the key fob cannot arm or disarm the 
Vehicle Security system. Use of the door key 
cylinder when the system is armed will sound 
the alarm when the door is opened.
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.
NOTE:
The alarm does not disarm when the doors are 
unlocked by inserting the blade of the emergency 
key (found inside the key fob) into the door 
handle lock cylinder.
VOLUMETRIC/ANTI-LIFT PROTECTION — 
I
F EQUIPPED
