key fob once to unlock all doors (figure 2). Push and
release the cargo unlock button on key fob once to
unlock the cargo area (rear lateral sliding doors and
rear door). The doors can also be locked and

signals will flash and the horn will chirp (if equipped
and activated through the Uconnect Settings

Ú
page 134). If a door is open when the lock button
is pushed, the turn signal lights will flash at an
increased rate to indicate that a door is still open.

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 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.
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.
1. Remove the emergency key (2) by sliding the
emergency key release (1) on the back of the
key fob and pulling the emergency key out
with your other hand.

Remote Start Canceled — Fuel Low
Remote Start Canceled — Rear Cargo Door Open
Remote Start Canceled — Too Cold
Remote Start Canceled — Time Expired
Remote Start Canceled — System Fault
Remote Start Disabled — Start Vehicle to Reset
The message will stay active until the ignition is
placed in the ON/RUN position.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security system monitors the vehicle
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.
When the Vehicle Security system is armed, the
Vehicle Security Light (on the lock/unlock button
on the instrument panel) will begin to flash every
three seconds until it is disarmed.
NOTE:If a door or the hood is not properly closed, the
system will not be armed.
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.
Push the Passive Entry button next to the door
handle to unlock the door Ú page 22.
Cycle the ignition out of the OFF position to
disarm the system.
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.
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.
