GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
KEYS
KEY FOB
Your vehicle is equipped with a key fob which
supports Passive Entry, Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE), Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ (if equipped), Remote
Start (if equipped), and remote power liftgate (if
equipped) operation. The key fob allows you to lock
or unlock all doors and liftgate, as well as activate
the Panic Alarm from distances up to
approximately 66 ft (20 m). 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 in the rear of the key fob.
NOTE:In vehicles equipped with Remote Start, the key
fob will operate at distances up to 328 ft (100 m).
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.
If your vehicle is equipped with a Wireless
Charging Pad, the key fob may not be detected
if it is placed within 6 inches (15 cm) of the pad
Ú page 80.
With the 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
positions 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.
For more information on ignition positions, see
Ú
page 22.
NOTE:A low key fob battery condition may be indicated by
a message in the instrument cluster display, or by
the LED light on the key fob. If the LED key fob light
no longer illuminates after a key fob button is
pushed, then the key fob battery requires
replacement Ú page 408.
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 five
seconds to unlock all the doors and the liftgate. To
lock all the doors and the liftgate, push the lock
button once.
If enabled within the Uconnect system, the turn
signals will flash and other illuminated entry
features will be activated when the doors are
unlocked. When the doors are locked, the turn
signals will flash and the horn will chirp.

the interior lights will turn on.
The Panic feature will stay on for three minutes
unless you turn it off by either pushing the Panic
button a second time or drive the vehicle at a
speed of 15 mph (24 km/h) or greater.
NOTE:
The interior lights will turn off if you place the
ignition in the ON/RUN position while the Panic
feature is activated. However, the exterior lights
and horn (if equipped with horn alarm) will
remain on.
You may need to be closer than 66 ft (20 m)
from the vehicle when using the key fob to turn
off the Panic feature due to the radio frequency
noises emitted by the system.
Key Left Vehicle Feature
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.
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 closed.
These alerts will not be activated in situations
where the vehicle’s engine is left running with
the key fob inside.
