Vehicle Security Alarm - If Equipped; To Arm The System; To Disarm The System - Dodge Durango SRT 2018 Owner's Manual

CAUTION!
• Always remove the key fobs from the ve-
hicle 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

never been programmed.

tem serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to
an authorized dealer.

will pulse, the park lamps and/or turn signals will
flash, and the vehicle security light in the instru-
ment cluster will flash.
