KEY FOBS
Your vehicle may be equipped with a standard ignition key fob or a keyless ignition key fob.
The standard ignition key fob operates the ignition switch. Insert the square end of the key fob into the ignition switch located on the instrument panel and rotate to the desired position. The key fob also contains an emergency key, which is stored in the rear of the key fob.

Your vehicle may be equipped with a key fob which supports Passive Entry, Remote Keyless Entry (RKE), Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ (if equipped), and..
Remote Start (if equipped). The key fob allows you to lock or unlock all doors, tailgate, and the RamBox (if equipped) 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:
● 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 the ignition in the ON position and the vehicle moving at 2 mph (4 km/h), all RKE commands are disabled.

NOTE:
● 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.
● Inserting the key fob with integrated key into the ignition switch disables the system from responding to any button pushes from that key fob. Driving at speeds 5 mph (8 km/h) and above disables the system from responding to all key fob buttons for all key fobs Ъ page 347.
To Lock/Unlock The Doors And Tailgate
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 doors, the tailgate and the RamBox (if equipped). To lock all the doors and the tailgate, 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.
All doors can be programmed to unlock on the first push of the unlock button. The horn chirp when the lock button is pushed can be programmed on/off within 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 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 all closed.
● These alerts will not be activated in situations where the vehicle’s engine is left running with the key fob inside.

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.
● For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ Ignition, 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.
● Keys must be ordered to the correct key cut to match the vehicle locks.
