KEYS

KEY FOB

— Unlock
— Trunk Open 3 — Lock

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.

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.

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 341.

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.

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, other- wise the doors will stay locked.

All doors can be programmed to unlock on the first push of the unlock button through Uconnect Settings page 138.

Push the trunk button on the key fob two times within five seconds to unlatch the trunk.

The recommended replacement battery is one CR2032 battery.

Customers are recommended to use a battery obtained from Mopar®. Aftermarket coin battery dimensions may not meet the original OEM coin battery dimensions.

Key Fob Battery Replacement

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 deterioration. If you touch a battery, clean it with rubbing alcohol.
To assemble the key fob case, snap the two halves together.

 

Programming the key fob may be performed by an authorized dealer.

Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be re-purposed 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.

When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer system serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to an authorized dealer.
