Keys

KEY FOB

Your vehicle is equipped with a key fob which supports Passive Entry, Remote Keyless Entry (RKE), Keyless Enter ‘n Go™, Remote Air Suspension Lowering, and Remote Start. The key fob allows you to lock or unlock all doors, liftgate, and fuel door, as well as 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. The key fob also contains an emergency key, which is stored in the rear of the key fob.

Note:

In vehicles equipped with Remote Start, the key fob will operate at distances up to 328 ft (100 m).

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.

• If your vehicle is equipped with a Wireless Charging Pad, the key fob may not be detected if it is placed within 6 inches (15 cm) of the pad Wireless Charging Pad — If Equipped.

• With the 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 positions 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.

For more information on ignition positions, see IGNITION SWITCH.

Note:

A low key fob battery condition may be indicated by a message in the instrument cluster display, or by the LED light on the key fob. If the LED key fob light no longer illuminates after a key fob button is pushed, then the key fob battery requires replacement General Information.

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 within five seconds to unlock all the doors, liftgate, and fuel door. To lock all the doors, liftgate, and fuel door, 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 equipped with the Auto Relock feature, and is unlocked with the key fob, and no door is opened within 60 seconds, the vehicle will relock and the Vehicle Security system will arm (if equipped). This feature can be enabled/disabled within Uconnect Settings.

• 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 fob is left inside the passenger compartment, otherwise the doors will stay locked.

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

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.

AIR SUSPENSION (REMOTE LOWERING OF THE VEHICLE) — IF EQUIPPED

For easy entry and loading, your vehicle can be lowered to Entry/Exit height by pushing the key fob air suspension button two times. When air suspension lowering is requested using the key fob, the vehicle will send a series of chirps and flashes (when enabled within Uconnect Settings) to alert the customer that the operation has begun and will continue these alerts until it successfully lowers.

The following conditions must be met for the vehicle to lower remotely:

• The vehicle must not already be in Entry/Exit (Park) ride height.

• The vehicle battery must be fully charged.

• All doors must be closed.

• The key fob must be out of the vehicle.

Note:

Ensure the vehicle is clear of all objects, pets, and people prior to remote lowering.

Canceling Remote Lowering

Vehicle lowering can be canceled at anytime. When vehicle lowering is canceled, the vehicle will raise up to the next defined level and lock out the remote lowering feature for five seconds before a new request can be made.

To cancel vehicle lowering, push the key fob air suspension button one time during the lowering process. When vehicle lowering is canceled, the horn will chirp two times and the turn signal lamps will flash four times. Once raising is completed, the horn will chirp one time.

Note:

For more information on Air Suspension, see QUADRA-LIFT — IF EQUIPPED.

REPLACING THE BATTERY IN THE KEY FOB

The replacement battery model is one CR2450 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/hazardouswaste/perchlorate for further information.

• Do not touch the battery terminals that are on the back housing or the printed circuit board.

• Do not replace the coin battery if the LED on the key fob above the top row buttons blinks when a button is pressed. The coin battery should last a minimum of three years with normal vehicle usage.

6. To assemble the key fob case, line up the top edge of the back cover with the top of the fob, and press the edges into the interlocking hinges until all edges snap together with no large visual gaps.

7. Reinsert the emergency key until it locks into place.

Note:

The key fob battery should only be replaced by qualified technicians. If the battery requires replacement, see an authorized dealer.

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 swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention.

• Keep new and used batteries away from children. If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product and keep it away from children.

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.

Warning:

• Always remove the key fobs from the vehicle and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.

• Always remember to place the ignition in the OFF position.

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.
