KEY FOB

1. LED Indicator
2. Unlock
3. Lock
4. Remote Start
5. Power Liftgate
6. Panic
7. Emergency Key

Your vehicle is equipped with a key fob that supports Passive Entry, Remote Keyless Entry (RKE), Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ (if equipped), Remote Start (if equipped), and remote power liftgate (if equipped) operation. The key fob allows you to lock or unlock all doors and liftgate, 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 another 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  page 81.
• With the 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 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 page 22.

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 page 410.

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 and the liftgate. To lock all the doors and the liftgate, push the lock button once.
• If enabled within the Uconnect system, the turn signals will flash and the illuminated entry system will be activated when the doors are unlocked. When the doors are locked, the turn signals will flash and the horn will chirp.

NOTE

• If the vehicle 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).
• 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, otherwise, the doors will stay locked.

All doors can be programmed to unlock on the first push of the unlock button-through Uconnect Settings page 204.

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 Left 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.

Using The Key Fob To Open Vehicle Windows — If Equipped

From outside of the vehicle, push and release the unlock button on the key fob, and within five seconds push and hold the unlock button for up to seven seconds. All vehicle door windows will open.

NOTE

• This feature is enabled through Uconnect Settings page 204.
• The vehicle must be equipped with front and rear auto up/down windows.

Replacing The Battery In The Key Fob

The replacement battery model is one CR2450 battery.

• Perchlorate Material — special handling may apply. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazard-ouswaste/perchlorate for further information.
• Do not touch the battery terminals that are on the back housing or the printed circuit board.

NOTE: When replacing the battery, ensure the (+) sign on the battery is facing upward. Avoid touching the new battery with your fingers. Skin oils may cause battery deterioration. If you touch a battery, clean it with rubbing alcohol.

Replace the battery by using your thumb to push down and slide the battery under the small lip on the top edge of the opening.

Key Fob Battery Replacement

• 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.
• 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. Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be programmed to any other vehicle.

WARNING

• Always remove the key fobs from the vehicle and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.
• Always remember to place the Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ 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.
• Keys must be ordered to the correct key cut to match the vehicle locks.
