To Lock/Unlock The Doors

To lock all of the doors, push and release the lock
button once. Push and release the front unlock
button on key fob once to unlock only the front doors
(figure 1) or push and release the unlock button on
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
unlocked manually by using the mechanical key.
When the doors are unlocked, the turn signals
will flash. When the doors are locked, the turn
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/

for further information.

Do not touch the battery terminals that are on
the back housing or the printed circuit board.

REMOTE START — IF EQUIPPED
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 approximately
300 ft (91 m).
Remote Start is used to defrost windows in cold

ambient conditions before the driver enters the
vehicle.
NOTE:Obstructions between the vehicle and the key fob
may reduce this range Ú page 280.
HOW TO USE REMOTE START
Push and release the Remote Start button on the
key fob twice within five seconds. The vehicle
doors will lock, the parking lights will flash, and the
horn will chirp twice (if programmed). Then, the
engine will start, and the vehicle will remain in the
Remote Start mode for a 15 minute cycle.
Pushing the Remote Start button a third time shuts
the engine off.

15 minutes.
Remote Start can only be used twice.
If an engine fault is present or fuel level is low,
the vehicle will not start.
The parking lights will turn on and remain on
during Remote Start mode.
For security, power window is disabled when the
vehicle is in the Remote Start mode.
The ignition must be placed in the ON/RUN posi -
tion before the Remote Start sequence can be
repeated for a third cycle.
All of the following conditions must be met before
the engine will Remote Start:
Gear selector in PARK
