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
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 247.
To Lock/Unlock The Doors And Liftgate
Push and release the unlock button on the key
fob once to unlock the driver’s door or twice
within one second to unlock all doors and the
liftgate. To lock all the doors and the liftgate, push
the lock button once.
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.
The liftgate "independently" or "with doors". 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 liftgate is open, the doors
will lock. The doors will unlock again automati
-
cally if the key fob 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.
Opening The Liftgate
Rapidly push the button on the key fob twice to
open the liftgate. The turn signals will flash to
indicate that the liftgate has been opened.
Key Left Vehicle Feature — If Equipped
If a valid key fob is no longer detected inside the
vehicle while the vehicle’s ignition system is in the
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
20
NOTE:
The doors have to be open and then closed in
order for the vehicle to check for the presence
of a key fob; the Key Left Vehicle feature will
not activate until all of the doors are all closed.
These alerts will not be activated in situations
where the vehicle’s engine is left running with
the key fob inside.
Replacing The Battery In The Key Fob
The recommended replacement battery is one
CR2032 battery.
NOTE:
Customers are recommended to use a battery
obtained from Mopar®. Aftermarket coin
battery dimensions may not meet the original
OEM coin battery dimensions.
Perchlorate Material — special handling may
apply. See
www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/
perchlorate
for further information.
Do not touch the battery terminals that are on
the back housing or the printed circuit board.
To replace the battery, proceed as follows:
1. Push the sides of the key fob inward and extract the cover pulling downwards. Key Fob Cover Removal

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.

IGNITION SWITCH
KEYLESS PUSH BUTTON IGNITION
This feature allows the driver to operate the
ignition switch with the push of a button as long
as the key fob is in the passenger compartment.
The START/STOP ignition button has several
operating modes. These modes are OFF, ACC,
and ON/RUN.Keyless Ignition START/STOP Button
The push button ignition can be placed in the
following modes:
OFF
The engine is stopped
Steering is locked
Some electrical devices (e.g. central locking,
alarm, etc.) are still available
ACC
Engine is not started
Some electrical devices are available (e.g.
power windows) ON/RUN
The engine will start (when foot is on the brake
pedal)
All electrical devices are available (e.g. climate
controls, etc.)
If the ignition switch does not change the mode
by pushing the button, the key fob may have a low
or depleted battery. In this situation, a backup
method can be used to operate the ignition
switch. Proceed as follows:
1. Lift the front armrest.
2. Lay the key fob on the indicated spot in the bottom of the center console, positioning the
key fob as shown in the following image,
while pushing the START/STOP ignition
button to start the ignition.
Key Fob Placement Location
NOTE:
For more information on proper engine
starting procedures, see
Ú
page 81.
With the keyless ignition in the ACC position, if
30 minutes pass with the gear selector in
PARK and the engine stopped, the keyless
ignition will automatically reset to the OFF
position.
When opening the driver's door with the ignition
in the ACC position (engine not running), a chime
will sound to remind you to place the ignition in
the OFF position. In addition to the chime, the
message will display “Ignition Or Accessory On” in
the cluster
Ú
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.
Always remove key fob from the vehicle and
lock all doors when leaving the vehicle
unattended.
