KEYS

KEY FOBS
Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system that consists of a key fob and a Keyless Enter-N-Go button.
NOTE: The key fob may not be found if it is located next to a mobile phone, laptop, or other electronic device; these devices may block the key fob’s wireless signal.
The key fob allows you to lock or unlock the doors and liftgate from distances up to approximately 66 ft (20 m) using a handheld key fob. The key fob does not need to be pointed at the vehicle to activate the system.

2. Lock Button
3. Remote Start Button

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.
The keyless ignition key fob also includes an emergency key, which is stored in the rear of the key fob.

Emergency Key Removal
The emergency key allows for entry into the vehicle should the battery in the vehicle or the key fob become depleted. The emergency key is also for locking the glove compartment. You can keep the emergency key with you when valet parking. To remove the emergency key from the keyless ignition key fob, slide the mechanical latch at the top of the key fob sideways with your thumb and then pull the key out with your other hand.

To 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 doors and the liftgate.

Replacing The Battery In The Key Fob
The replacement battery is one CR2032 battery.
NOTE

• 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.

Key Fob

1. Remove the emergency key by sliding the mechanical latch on the back of the key fob sideways with your thumb and pull the emergency key out with your other hand.
2. Separate the key fob halves using the tip of the emergency key, a flat-head screwdriver, or a coin, and gently pry the two halves of the key fob apart. Make sure not to damage the seal during removal.
3. 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 object 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.
4. To assemble the key fob case, snap the two halves together.

Programming 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.

Request For Additional Key Fobs
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.
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 mode.

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.

Put the nose side (side opposite of the emergency key) of the key fob against the START/STOP ignition button and push to operate the ignition.

The push-button ignition can be placed in the following modes:

• Driving mode.
• All the electrical devices are available.

START

• Start the engine.

WARNING

• When exiting the vehicle, always remove the key fob from the vehicle and lock your vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
• Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal, or gear selector.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to children, and do not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go in the ON/RUN mode. A child could operate power windows, and other controls, or move the vehicle.
