14 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
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 Fob Has Left The
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.
Replacing The Battery In The Key Fob
The replacement battery is one CR2032 battery.
NOTE:
 Customers are recommended to use a battery
obtained from Mopar®. Aftermarket coin battery
dimensions may not meet the original OEM coin battery
dimensions.
 Perchlorate material — special handling may apply. See

battery deterioration. If you touch a battery, clean it
with rubbing alcohol.
