KEYS

Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system. The ignition system consists of a key fob with Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and a START/STOP push button ignition system. The RKE system consists of a key fob and Keyless Enter-N-Go feature (if equipped).

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.

The key fob allows you to lock or unlock the doors and lift- gate 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.

NOTE:

With ignition on and the vehicle moving at 2 mph (4 km/h), all RKE commands are disabled.

Separating Case With A Coin Key Fob Battery Replacement

Remove the battery by turning the back cover over (battery facing downward) and tapping it lightly on a solid surface such as a table or similar 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 autho- rized dealer.

NOTE:

Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be repurposed and reprogrammed to another vehicle.

NOTE:

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.

NOTE:

Black Keys (6.4 L) must be replaced with Black Keys and Red Keys (6.2 L) must be replaced with Red Keys.
