KEYS
Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system. The ignition system consists of a key fob and a START/STOP push button ignition system. The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system consists of a key fob and Keyless Enter-N-Go feature.
The key fob may not be found if it is located next to a mobile phone, laptop or other electronic device; these devices may block the key fob’s wireless signal.
The key fob allows you to lock or unlock all doors, tailgate, and the RamBox (if equipped), as well as release the tailgate, and 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.

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.
In a situation where the battery is low or fully depleted, a back up method can be used to operate the ignition switch. Put the nose side of the key fob (side opposite of the emergency key) against the START/STOP ignition button and push to operate the ignition switch.
Push and release the unlock button on the key fob once to unlock the driver’s door. Push the unlock button twice within five seconds to unlock all doors, the tailgate and the RamBox (if equipped). The turn signal lights will flash to acknowledge the unlock signal. The illuminated entry system will also turn on.
All doors can be programmed to unlock on the first push of the unlock button. Refer to “Ucon- nect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further infor- mation.
Push and release the lock button on the key fob to lock all doors, the tailgate, and the RamBox (if equipped). The turn signal lights will flash and the horn will chirp to acknowledge the signal.
This feature will cause the horn to chirp when the doors are locked with the key fob. This feature can be turned on or turned off through the Uconnect settings.
Pushing the lock button on the key fob while you are in the vehicle will activate the vehicle secu- rity alarm system. Opening a door with the vehicle security alarm system activated will cause the alarm to sound. Push the unlock button to deactivate the vehicle security alarm system.
Refer to “Vehicle Security Alarm” in this chapter for further information.
To turn the Panic Alarm feature on or off, push the Panic button on the key fob. When the Panic Alarm is activated, the turn signals will flash, the horn will pulse on and off, and the interior lights will turn on. The Panic Alarm 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. The interior lights will turn off if you place the ignition in the ACC or ON/RUN position while the Panic Alarm is activated. However, the exterior lights and horn will remain on. You may need to be less than 35 ft (11 m) from the vehicle when using the key fob to turn off the Panic Alarm due to the radio frequency noises emitted by the system. The replacement battery model is one CR2032 battery.Perchlorate Material — special handling may apply.
