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), and
Remote Start (if equipped). The key fob allows you
to lock or unlock all doors, 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
can be used by pushing the emergency key release
button.
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
Úpage 48.
With the ignition in the ON position and the
vehicle moving at 2 mph (4 km/h), all RKE
commands are disabled.

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 detect 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.
Replacing The Battery In The Key Fob
The 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.

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 more information on normal engine starting,
see Úpage 76.
When opening the driver's door and the ignition
is in the ON/RUN position (engine not running),

chime, the message “Vehicle ON” will display
in the cluster.
The ignition will automatically switch to the OFF
position if the following vehicle conditions last
for 30 minutes: ignition placed in ON/RUN posi -
tion, gear is in PARK and engine is off.
WARNING!
When exiting 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. Chil -
dren 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
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.

doors and ignition for unauthorized operation.
When the Vehicle Security system is activated,
interior switches for door locks are disabled.
The system provides both audible and visible
signals. For the first three minutes, the horn will
sound, and the turn signal lights will flash. For an
additional 15 minutes, only the turn signal lights
will flash.
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. If any doors are open, close them.
3. Perform one of the following methods to lock the vehicle:
Push the lock button on the exterior Passive
Entry door handle with a valid key fob avail -
able in the same exterior zone Ú page 22.
Push the lock button on the key fob.

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.
REARMING OF THE SYSTEM

If the system has not been disabled, the
Vehicle Security system will rearm itself after
the 15 additional minutes of the turn signals
flashing. If the condition which initiated the alarm is
still present, the system will ignore that condition
and monitor the remaining doors and ignition.
