GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

KEYS

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 trunk release. The

key fob allows you to lock or unlock the doors and

trunk 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:



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.



With 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 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

page 296.

To Lock/Unlock The Doors And Trunk

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 trunk. To

lock all the doors and the trunk, push the lock

button once.
When the doors are unlocked, the turn signals will

flash and the illuminated entry system will be

activated. When the doors are locked, the turn

signals will flash and the horn will chirp.
NOTE:



If the vehicle is unlocked with the key fob, and

no door is opened within 60 seconds, the

vehicle will relock and the security system will

arm (if equipped).



If one or more doors are open, or the trunk is

open, the doors will lock. The doors will unlock

automatically if the key fob is left inside the

passenger compartment, otherwise the doors

will stay locked.

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.

To Unlatch The Trunk

Push the trunk button on the key fob two times

within five seconds to unlatch the trunk.

Replacing The Battery In The Key Fob

The recommended 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/hazard

ouswaste/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

3. Remove the back cover to access and replace

the battery. When replacing the battery, match

the (+) sign on the battery to the (+) sign on the

inside of the battery clip, located on the back

cover. Avoid touching the new battery with your

fingers. Skin oils may cause battery deterio

ration. If you touch a battery, clean it with

rubbing alcohol.

4. To assemble the key fob case, snap the two

halves together.

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 electronics 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

authorized dealer.



Keys must be ordered to the correct key cut to

match the vehicle locks.

SENTRY KEY

The Sentry Key Immobilizer system prevents

unauthorized vehicle operation by disabling the

engine. The system does not need to be armed or

activated. Operation is automatic, regardless of

whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked.
The system uses a key fob, keyless push button

ignition and a Radio Frequency (RF) receiver to

prevent unauthorized vehicle operation. Therefore,

only key fobs that are programmed to the vehicle

can be used to start and operate the vehicle. The

system cannot reprogram a key fob obtained from

another vehicle.

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 swal

lowed or placed inside any part of the body,

seek immediate medical attention.



Keep new and used batteries away from chil

dren. If the battery compartment does not

close securely, stop using the product and

keep it away from children.

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™ Ignition, always remember to

place the ignition in the OFF position.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

After placing the ignition in the ON/RUN position,

the Vehicle Security Light will turn on for three

seconds for a bulb check. If the light remains on

after the bulb check, it indicates that there is a

problem with the electronics. In addition, if the light

begins to flash after the bulb check, it indicates

that someone attempted to start the engine with

an invalid key fob. In the event that a valid key fob

is used to start the engine but there is an issue

with the vehicle electronics, the engine will start

and shut off after two seconds.
If the Vehicle Security Light turns on during normal

vehicle operation (vehicle running for longer than

10 seconds), it indicates that there is a fault in the

electronics. Should this occur, have the vehicle

serviced as soon as possible by an authorized

dealer.

All of the key fobs provided with your new vehicle

have been programmed to the vehicle electronics

page 296.

NOTE:

A key fob that has not been programmed is also

considered an invalid key.
