— Emergency Key

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 power liftgate operation. The key fob allows you to lock or unlock the doors and liftgate 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 395.

To Lock/Unlock The Doors And Liftgate Push and release the unlock button on the key fob once to unlock the driver’s door, or twice

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 re-lock and the security system will arm (if equipped).

If one or more doors are open, or the liftgate is open, the doors will lock. The doors will unlock again automatically if the key 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 171.
