• Grasp the Passive Entry Unlock Door Handle
with a valid key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the
passive entry door handle (if equipped, refer

Keyless Enter-N-Go — Ignition Start/
Stop button (requires at least one valid
key fob in the vehicle).

NOTE:
• The driver's door key cylinder and the liftgate
button on the key fob cannot arm or disarm
the vehicle security alarm.
• When the vehicle security alarm is armed, the
interior power door lock switches will not un-
lock the doors.
The vehicle security alarm is designed to protect
your vehicle; however, you can create conditions
16
where the system will give you a false alarm. If
one of the previously described arming se-
quences has occurred, the vehicle security
alarm will arm regardless of whether you are in
the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle
and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the vehicle security alarm.
If the vehicle security alarm is armed and the
battery becomes disconnected, the vehicle se-
curity alarm will remain armed when the battery
is reconnected; the exterior lights will flash, the
horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm the ve-
hicle security alarm.

Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry (If
Equipped)
The Passive Entry system is an enhancement to
the vehicle's Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) sys-
tem and a feature of Keyless Enter-N-Go. This
feature allows you to lock and unlock the vehi-
cle's door(s) without having to push the key fob
lock or unlock buttons.
NOTE:
• Passive Entry may be programmed ON/OFF;
refer to "Uconnect Settings" in "Multimedia"
in the Owner's Manual
www.mopar.com/en-us/care/owners-
manual.html (U.S. Residents)
www.owners.mopar.ca (Canadian Residents)
for further information.
• If wearing gloves on your hands, or if it has
been raining/snowing on the Passive Entry
door handle, the unlock sensitivity can be
affected, resulting in a slower response time.
• If the vehicle is unlocked by Passive Entry and
no door is opened within 60 seconds, the
vehicle will re-lock and if equipped will arm
the security alarm.
• The key fob may not be able to be detected by
the vehicle Keyless Go system if it is located
next to a mobile phone, laptop, or other elec-
tronic device; these devices may block the key
fob's wireless signal and prevent the Passive
Entry system from locking or unlocking or
starting the vehicle.
