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 elec -
tronics 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 Sentry Key Immobilizer system
serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to an autho -
rized dealer.
 Keys must be ordered to the correct key cut to match
the vehicle locks.
KeySense Features — If Equipped
This feature provides the vehicle owner with the ability to
customize vehicle settings that can be applied to
determine the driving experience for other drivers of the
vehicle. The vehicle settings are protected by a unique
4-digit PIN, which the vehicle owner creates when
accessing the specific settings for the first time.
KeySense also has additional features that are always
enabled when the specific key fob is in use that cannot be
set by the vehicle owner. While this specific key fob is in
use, the vehicle will respond accordingly to the customized
vehicle settings and mandatory features. This includes enhanced driving assistance features, increased driver
alerts, and the locking of certain optional features. These
settings can be selected within the Uconnect system
Úpage 157.

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 chil -
dren.
WARNING!
 Always remove the key fobs from the vehicle and lock
all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.
 For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ Igni -
tion, always remember to place the ignition in the
OFF position when exiting the vehicle.

The push button ignition can be placed in the following
modes:
OFF
 The engine is stopped
 Some electrical devices (e.g. power locks, alarm, etc.)
are still available
ACC
 The engine is stopped
 Some electrical devices are available (e.g. power
windows)
ON/RUN
 Driving position
 All electrical devices are available (e.g. climate
controls, etc.)
START
 The engine will start (when foot is on the brake pedal)
The engine only runs with the ignition in the ON/RUN
ignition position, or from a Remote Start request.
In case the ignition switch does not change with the push
of a 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. Put the nose side (side
opposite of the emergency key) of the key fob against the
START/STOP ignition button and push to operate the
ignition switch.

Backup Starting Method
NOTE:

The key fob may not be detected by the vehicle Keyless
Enter ‘n Go™ 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
Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ system from starting the vehicle.
 For the proper engine starting procedure, see
Úpage 111.
REMOTE START — IF EQUIPPED
If applicable, refer to the “Hybrid Supplement” for
additional information.
This system uses the key fob to start the engine
conveniently from outside the vehicle while still
maintaining security. The system has a range
of 328 ft (100 m).
Remote Start is used to defrost windows in cold weather
and to reach a comfortable climate in all ambient
conditions before the customer enters the vehicle.
NOTE:Obstructions between the vehicle and key fob may reduce
this range Úpage 312.
WARNING!
 When leaving the vehicle, always 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 Enter ‘n Go™ 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 vehi -
cles in hot weather. Interior heat buildup may cause
serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
An unlocked car is an invitation for thieves. Always
remove the key fobs from the vehicle and lock all doors
when leaving the vehicle unattended.

vehicle will start and then shut down after 10 seconds. 
The parking lights will turn on, and remain on, during
Remote Start mode.
 For security, power window and power sunroof (if
equipped) operation are disabled when the vehicle is in
the Remote Start mode.
 The ignition must be placed in the ON/RUN position
before the Remote Start sequence can be repeated for
a third cycle.
All of the following conditions must be met before the
