HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

Essential Information

Each time direction instructions (left/right or

forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are

given, these must be intended as regarding

an occupant in the driver's seat. Special

cases not complying with this rule will be

properly specified in the text.

The figures in this User Guide are provided

by wa

y of example only: this might imply that

some details of the image do not correspond

to the actual arrangement of your vehicle.

In addition, the User Guide has been

conce

ived considering vehicles with the

steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore

possible that in vehicles with the steering

wheel on the right side, the position or

construction of some controls is not exactly

mirror-like with respect to the figure.

To identify the chapter with the information

neede

d you can consult the index at the end

of this User Guide.

Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedi-

cated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd

page.

A few pages further there is a key for

getting to know the chapter order and the

relevant symbols in the tabs. There is always

a textual indication of the current chapter at

the side of each even page.

Symbols

Some vehicle components have colored

labels whose symbols indicate precautions to

be observed when using this component.

Refer to “Warning Lights and Messages” in

“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel”

for further information on the symbols used

in your vehicle.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

While reading this User Guide you will find a

series of WARNINGS to be followed to

prevent incorrect use of components which

could cause accidents or injuries.

There are also CAUTIONS that must be

follo

wed to prevent against procedures that

could result in damage to your vehicle.

VAN CONVERSIONS/

CAMPERS

The New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not

apply to body modifications or special equip-

ment installed by van conversion/camper

m

anuf

acturers/body builders. U.S. residents

refer to the Warranty Information book,

Section 2.1.C. Canadian residents refer to

the “What Is Not Covered” section of the

Warranty Information book. Such equipment

includes video monitors, VCRs, heaters,

stoves, refrigerators, etc. For warranty

coverage and service on these items, contact

the applicable manufacturer.

Operating instructions for the special equip-

ment installed by the conversion/camper

m

anuf

acturer should also be supplied with

your vehicle. If these instructions are

missing, please contact your authorized

dealer for assistance in obtaining replace

-

ment documents from the applicable manu-

facturer.

KEYS

Key Fob

Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system.

The ignition system consists of a key fob with

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and a START/

STOP push button ignition system. The

Remote Keyless Entry system consists of a

key fob and Keyless Enter-N-Go feature.

ob’s wireless signal.

The key fob allows you to lock or unlock all

doors

, tailgate, and the RamBox (if

equipped) as well as activate the Panic

Alarm from distances up to approximately

66

ft (20 m) using a handheld key fob. The

key f

ob does not need to be pointed at the

vehicle to activate the system.



 In the ON/RUN position, all key fob

buttons will work until the vehicle reaches

3

 The key fob should not be placed next to

the wireless charging pad (if equipped).

Key Fob

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 direc



A low key fob battery condition may be indi-

cated by a message in the instrument cluster

d

ispl

ay, or by the LED light on the key fob. If

the LED key fob light no longer illuminates

from key fob button pushes, then the key fob

battery requires replacement.

In a situation where the battery is low or fully

deple

ted, a back up method can be used to

operate the ignition switch. Put the nose side

of the key fob (side opposite of the Emer

-

conditions where the system will give you a

false alarm. If one of the previously

described arming sequences 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

batte

ry becomes disconnected, the vehicle

security alarm will remain armed when the

battery is reconnected; the exterior lights will

flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs,

disarm the vehicle security alarm.

Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry

The Passive Entry system is an enhancement

to the vehicle’s Remote Keyless Entry system

and a feature of Keyless Enter-N-Go. This

feature allows you to lock and unlock the

vehicle’s door(s) without having to push the

key fob lock or unlock buttons.

mation.

 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 vehicles security alarm can be armed/

disarmed by pushing the passive entry key

fob lock/unlock buttons (if equipped).

 The key fob may not be able to be detected

by the vehicle passive entry system if it is

other electronic device; these devices may

block the key fob's wireless signal and

prevent the passive entry handle from

locking/unlocking the vehicle.

To minimize the possibility of unintentionally

locki

ng a Passive Entry key fob inside your

vehicle, the Passive Entry system is

equipped with an automatic door unlock

feature which will function if the ignition

switch is in the OFF position.

If one of the vehicle doors is open and the

door

panel switch is used to lock the vehicle,

once all open doors have been closed the

vehicle checks the inside and outside of the

vehicle for any valid Passive Entry key fobs.

If one of the vehicle's Passive Entry key fobs

is detected inside the vehicle, and no other

valid Passive Entry key fobs are detected

outside the vehicle, the Passive Entry

System automatically unlocks all vehicle

doors and chirps the horn three times (on the

third attempt ALL doors will lock and the

Passive Entry key fob can be locked in the

vehicle).
