Key Fob Battery Location  
2 — Emergency Key Release Button  
NOTE:  
When replacing the battery, ensure the (+) sign on the  
battery is facing upward. Avoid touching the new battery  
with your fingers. Skin oils may cause battery deterio-  
ration. If you touch a battery, clean it with rubbing alcohol.  
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 19  
After placing the ignition in the ON/RUN position, the  
Vehicle Security Light will turn on for three seconds for a  
bulb check. If the light remains on after the bulb check, it  
indicates that there is a problem with the electronics.  
In addition, if the light begins to flash after the bulb check,  
it indicates that someone attempted to start the engine  
with an invalid key fob. In the event that a valid key fob is  
used to start the engine but there is an issue with the  
vehicle electronics, the engine will start and shut off after  
two seconds.  
WARNING!  
WARNING!  
The integrated key fob contains a coin cell battery.  
Do not ingest the battery; there is a chemical burn  
hazard. If the coin cell battery is swallowed, it can  
cause severe internal burns in just two hours and  
can lead to death.  
Always remove the keyfobs 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 position when exiting the vehicle.  
2
If you think a battery may have been swallowed or  
placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate  
medical attention.  
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.  
If the Vehicle Security Light turns on during normal vehicle  
operation (vehicle running for longer than 10 seconds), it  
indicates that there is a fault in the electronics. Should  
this occur, have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible  
by an authorized dealer.  
Keep new and used batteries away from children.  
If the battery compartment does not close securely,  
stop using the product and keep it away from  
children.  
NOTE:  
When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer system  
serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to an autho-  
rized dealer.  
CAUTION!  
Programming And Requesting Additional  
Key Fobs  
Programming the key fob may be performed by an  
authorized dealer.  
The Sentry Key Immobilizer system is not compatible  
with some aftermarket Remote Start systems. Use of  
these systems may result in vehicle starting problems  
and loss of security protection.  
Keys must be ordered to the correct key cut to match  
the vehicle locks.  
SENTRY KEY  
NOTE:  
The Sentry Key Immobilizer system prevents unauthorized  
vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The system  
does not need to be armed or activated. Operation is  
automatic, regardless of whether the vehicle is locked or  
unlocked.  
Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be  
repurposed and reprogrammed to another vehicle.  
All of the key fobs provided with your new vehicle have  
been programmed to the vehicle electronics Ú page 402.  
Only key fobs that are programmed to the vehicle elec-  
tronics can be used to start and operate the vehicle.  
NOTE:  
A key fob that has not been programmed is also  
considered an invalid key.  
The system uses a key fob, keyless push button ignition  
and a Radio Frequency (RF) receiver to prevent  
unauthorized vehicle operation. Therefore, only key fobs  
that are programmed to the vehicle can be used to start  
and operate the vehicle. The system cannot reprogram a  
key fob obtained from another vehicle.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN PROGRAMMING  
HOMELINK®  
For efficient programming and accurate transmission of  
the Radio Frequency signal, it is recommended that a new  
battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the  
device that is being programmed to the HomeLink®  
system. Make sure your hand-held transmitter is  
programmed to activate the device you are trying to  
program your HomeLink® button to.  
IDENTIFYING WHETHER YOU HAVE A  
ROLLING CODE OR NON-ROLLING CODE  
DEVICE  
Before programming a device to one of your HomeLink®  
buttons, you must determine whether the device has a  
rolling code or non-rolling code.  
HomeLink® replaces up to three  
hand-held transmitters thatoperate  
devices such as garage door  
openers, motorized gates, lighting,  
or home security systems. The  
HomeLink® unit is powered by your  
vehicle’s 12 Volt battery.  
2
Rolling Code Devices  
The HomeLink® buttons that are located in the over-  
head console or sun visor designate the three different  
HomeLink® channels.  
To determine if your device has a rolling code, a good  
indicator is its manufacturing date. Typically, devices  
manufactured after 1995haverollingcodes. A devicewith  
a rolling code will also have a “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button  
located where the antenna is attached to the device. The  
button may not be immediately visible when looking at the  
device. The name and color of the button may vary slightly  
by manufacturer.  
Ensure that your vehicle is parked outside of the garage  
before you begin programming.  
To operate HomeLink®, push and release any of the  
programmed HomeLink® buttons. These buttons will  
activate the devices they are programmed to with each  
press of the corresponding HomeLink® button.  
It is recommended that you erase all the channels of your  
HomeLink® before you use it for the first time.  
ERASING ALL THE HOMELINK®  
CHANNELS  
The HomeLink® indicator light is located above the  
center button.  
NOTE:  
The “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button is not the button you  
normally use to operate the device.  
To erase the channels, follow this procedure:  
NOTE:  
1. Place the ignition switch into the ON/RUN position.  
HomeLink® is disabled when the Vehicle Security system  
is active Ú page 402.  
Non-rolling Code Devices  
2. Push and hold the two outside HomeLink® buttons  
(I and III) for up to 20 seconds, or until the  
HomeLink® indicator light flashes.  
Most devices manufactured before 1995 will not have a  
rolling code. These devices will also not have a “LEARN” or  
“TRAIN” button.  
NOTE:  
Erasing all channels should only be performed when  
programming HomeLink® for the first time. Do not erase  
channels when programming additional buttons.

Rolling Code Garage Door Opener Final Steps  
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK® TO A  
GARAGE DOOR OPENER  
Toprogram any of the HomeLink® buttons toactivateyour  
garage door opener motor, proceed as follows:  
WARNING!  
NOTE:  
Your motorized door or gate will open and close while  
you are programming the universal transmitter.  
Do not program the transmitter if people or pets are  
in the path of the door or gate.  
You have 30 seconds in which to initiate rolling code final  
step 2, after completing rolling code final step 1.  
1. At the garage door opener motor (in the garage),  
locate the “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button. This can  
usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is  
attached to the garage door opener motor. Firmly  
push and release the “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button.  
NOTE:  
Do not run your vehicle in a closed garage or  
confined area while programming the transmitter.  
Exhaust gas from your vehicle contains carbon  
monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless.  
Carbon monoxide is poisonous when inhaled and  
can cause you and others to be severely injured  
or killed.  
All HomeLink® buttons are programmed using this  
procedure. You do not need to erase all channels when  
programming additional buttons.  
2. Return to the vehicle and push the programmed  
HomeLink® button three times (holding the button  
for two seconds each time). If the garage door opener  
motor operates, programming is complete.  
1. Place the ignition switch into the ON/RUN position.  
2. Place the garage door opener transmitter  
1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink®  
button you wish to program, while keeping the  
HomeLink® indicator light in view.  
3. Push the programmed HomeLink® button to confirm  
that the garage door opener motor operates. If the  
garage door opener motor does not operate, repeat  
the final steps for the rolling code procedure.  
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK® TO A  
MISCELLANEOUS DEVICE  
3. Push and hold the HomeLink® button you want to  
program while you push and hold the garage door  
opener transmitter button you are trying to replicate.

garage door opener motor does not operate, repeat  
the steps from the beginning.  
Make sure the garage door opener motor is plugged in  
before moving on to the rolling code/non-rolling code final  
steps.  
Canadian Radio Frequency (RF) laws require transmitter  
signals to time-out (or quit) after several seconds of trans-  
mission, which may not be long enough for HomeLink® to  
pick up the signal during programming. Similar to this  
Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to  
time-out in the same manner. The procedure may need to  
be performed multiple times to successfully pair the  
device to your HomeLink® buttons.  
 
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 45

For vehicles sold in Canada, the Daytime Running  
Lights will automatically deactivate when the front fog  
lights are turned on.  
Your vehicle is equipped with plastic headlight and fog  
light (if equipped) lenses that are lighter and less  
susceptible to stone breakage than glass lights. Plastic  
is not as scratch resistant as glass and therefore  
different lens cleaning procedures must be followed.  
Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights and taillights  
of vehicles in the field of view will cause headlights to  
remain on longer (closer to the vehicle). Also, dirt, film,  
and other obstructions on the windshield or camera  
lens will cause the system to function improperly.  
If allowed by law in the country in which the vehicle was  
purchased, the Daytime Running Lights can be turned  
on and off using the Uconnect system Ú page 191.  
To minimize the possibility of scratching the lenses and  
reducing light output, avoid wiping with a dry cloth.  
To remove road dirt, wash with a mild soap solution  
followed by rinsing.  
On some vehicles, the Daytime Running Lights may  
deactivate, or reduce intensity, on one side of the  
vehicle (when a turn signal is activated on that side), or  
on both sides of the vehicle (when the hazard warning  
lights are activated).  
If the windshield or Automatic High Beam Headlamp  
Control mirror is replaced, the mirror must be re-aimed  
to ensure proper performance. See a local authorized  
dealer.  
MULTIFUNCTION LEVER  
To opt out of the Advanced Auto High Beam Sensitivity  
Control (default) and enter Reduced High Beam Sensi-  
tivity Control (not recommended), toggle the high beam

RAIN SENSING WIPERS — IF EQUIPPED  
Low Ambient Temperature — When the ignition is first  
placed in the ON position, the Rain Sensing system will  
not operate until the wiper switch is moved, vehicle  
speed is greater than 3 mph (5 km/h), or the outside  
temperature is greater than 32°F (0°C).  
This feature senses rain or snowfall on the windshield and  
automatically activates the wipers. Rotate the end of the  
multifunction lever to one of four detent positions to  
activate this feature.  
To prevent freeze-up of your windshield washer system in  
cold weather, select a solution or mixture that meets or  
exceeds the temperature range of your climate. This rating  
information can be found on most washer fluid containers.  
Transmission In NEUTRAL Position — When the ignition  
is ON, and the automatic transmission is in the  
NEUTRAL position, the Rain Sensing system will not  
operate until the wiper switch is moved, vehicle speed  
is greater than 3 mph (5 km/h), or the gear selector is  
moved out of the NEUTRAL position.  
The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted with the  
multifunction lever. Wiper delay position one is the least  
sensitive, and wiper delay detent position four is the most  
sensitive.  
Wiper delay position three should be used for normal rain  
conditions.  
WARNING!  
Remote Start Mode Inhibit — On vehicles equipped  
with a Remote Start system, Rain Sensing wipers are  
not operational when the vehicle is in the Remote  
Start mode.  
Sudden loss of visibility through the windshield could  
lead to a collision. You might not see other vehicles or  
other obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the windshield  
during freezing weather, warm the windshield with the  
defroster before and during windshield washer use.  
Positions one and two can be used if the driver desires  
less wiper sensitivity. Position four can be used if the  
driver desires more sensitivity. Place the wiper switch in  
the O (off) position when not using the system.

WARNING!  
To avoid serious injury or death:  
POWER INVERTER — IF EQUIPPED  
Only devices designed for use in this type of outlet  
should be inserted into any 12 Volt outlet.  
A 115 Volt (400 Watts maximum) inverter may be located  
inside the center console towards the right hand side. This  
inverter can power cellular phones, electronics and other  
low power devices requiring power up to 400 Watts.  
Certain video game consoles exceed this power limit, as  
will most power tools.  
Do not touch with wet hands.  
Close the lid when not in use and while driving the  
vehicle.  
If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric  
shock and failure.  
Rear Center Console Power Inverter Outlet  
CAUTION!  
NOTE:  
Many accessories that can be plugged in draw power  
from the vehicle's battery, even when not in use  
(i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in  
long enough, the vehicle's battery will discharge suffi-  
ciently to degrade battery life and/or prevent the  
engine from starting.  
400 Watts is the maximum for the inverter, not each  
outlet. If three outlets are in use, 400 Watts is shared  
amongst the devices plugged in.  
If equipped with a front bench seat, there may be a  
115 Volt (400 Watts maximum) inverter located to the  
right of the center stack, just below the climate controls.  
This inverter can power cellular phones, electronics and  
other low power devices requiring power up to 400 Watts.  
Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,  
vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.), will discharge the  
battery even more quickly. Only use these intermit-  
tently and with greater caution.  
Center Console Power Inverter Outlet  
There is also a second 115 Volt (400 Watts maximum)  
power inverter located on the rear of the center console.  
This inverter can power cellular phones, electronics and  
other low power devices requiring power up to 400 Watts.

NOTE:  
Important Notes Regarding This Vehicle’s Wireless  
Charging Pad:  
The Center Stack Power Inverter is only available on  
vehicles equipped with a front bench seat.  
The ignition must be in the ON/RUN or START position  
and all vehicle doors must be closed for the wireless  
charging pad to operate.  
The power inverter only turns on if the ignition is in the  
ACC or ON/RUN position.  
Wireless charging is not as fast as when the phone is  
connected to a wired charger.  
Due to built-in overload protection, the power inverter  
shuts down if the power rating is exceeded.  
The phone’s protective case must be removed when  
placed on the wireless charging pad.  
Wireless Charging Pad  
Your vehicle may be equipped with a 15W 3A Qi wireless  
charging pad located inside of the center console.  
This charging pad is designed to wirelessly charge your  
Qi enabled mobile phone. Qi is a standard that allows  
wireless charging of your mobile phone.  
 
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 69  
iPhone® 12 (including iPod®) is equipped with  
software to protect the device from overheating. When  
the software is active, the rate of charge is slowed  
down to protect the device.  
The LED indicator light will remain on and solid until the  
hygienizing operation is complete. The indicator light will  
turn off, and an audible chime will be heard when the  
operation is successfully completed.  
UV-C LIGHT — IF EQUIPPED  
Your vehicle may be equipped with a UV-C light located  
inside the glove compartment used to hygienize surface  
areas of items placed inside. The UV-C light hygienizes  
using a very specialized, and high powered, UV-C light  
source.  
Phones must always be placed on the wireless  
charging pad within the outline shown on the pad so  
that its charging parts connect with the charging coils  
of the system. Movement of the phone during charging  
may prevent or slow the rate of charge.  
NOTE:  
One complete hygienizing cycle takes about three  
minutes.  
2
NOTE:  
If the hygienizing operation is interrupted or stopped, the  
LED indicator light will blink for five seconds, and the UV-C  
light will be ready for a new cycle when the blinking has  
stopped.  
No chemicals are used in the hygienizing process.  
Having multiple applications open on the phone while  
charging will reduce the charging efficiency, and may  
even shut down an application that is actively running  
(i.e. Apple CarPlay®). This may also cause the phone to  
overheat.  
The UV-C light switch is located on the instrument panel,  
below the radio.  
Any objects placed in the glove compartment for  
hygienizing must be repositioned as many times as  
necessary to ensure that the UV-C light hits every surface  
of the object.  
Wireless chargers may implement certain methods to  
prevent the phone from overheating during charging  
such as slowing down the rate of charge. In certain  
instances, the device may shut down for a brief period  
of time (when the device reaches a certain tempera-  
ture). If this happens, it does not mean there is a fault  
with the wireless charging pad. This may just be a  
protective measure to prevent damage to the phone.  
NOTE:  
The UV-C light only operates with the ignition in the  
ON/RUN position.  
The UV-C light is not intended for medical use. Use of  
the UV-C light does not guarantee that the user will  
avoid illness.  
Surfaces must be directly exposed to the UV ray in  
order to be hygienized. Rays will not penetrate mate-  
rials like cloth, paper, or regular glass. Therefore, it is  
important to remove items from the direct line of sight  
that would block or shield the rays from other surfaces.  
CAUTION!  
UV-C Light Switch  
The key fob should not be placed on the charging pad  
or within 6 inches (15 cm) of it. Doing so can cause  
excessive heat buildup and damage to the fob. Placing  
the fob in close proximity of the charging pad blocks the  
fob from being detected by the vehicle and prevents the  
vehicle from starting.  
Operating Instructions  
1. Place item to be hygienized inside the glove  
compartment, and close the door completely.  
2. Push the UV-C light switch on the instrument panel to  
start the operation. The LED indicator light on the  
switch will turn on (blue) during the UV-C hygienizing  
operation.

You can carry wide building materials (sheets of plywood,  
etc.) by building a raised load floor. Place lumber across  
the box in the indentations provided above the wheel  
housings and in the bulkhead dividers to form the floor.  
There are four tie-down cleats bolted to the lower sides of  
the pickup box that can sustain loads up to 1,000 lb  
(450 kg) total.  
Each cleat must be located and tightened down in one of  
the detents, along either rail, in order to keep cargo  
properly secure.  
To move the cleat to any position on the rail, turn the nut  
counterclockwise, approximately three turns. Then pull  
out on the cleat and slide it to the detent nearest the  
desired location. Make sure the cleat is seated in the  
detent and tighten the nut.  
BED RAIL TIE-DOWN SYSTEM —  
IF EQUIPPED  
WARNING!  
The pickup box is intended for load carrying purposes  
only, not for passengers, who should sit in seats and  
use seat belts.  
CAUTION!  
The maximum load per cleat should not exceed 250 lb  
(113 kg), or 500 lb (227 kg) total per rail, and the angle  
of the load on each cleat should not exceed 45 degrees  
above horizontal, or damage to the cleat or cleat rail  
may occur.  
Care should always be exercised when operating a  
vehicle with unrestrained cargo. Vehicle speeds may  
need to be reduced. Severe turns or rough roads may  
cause shifting or bouncing of the cargo that may  
result in vehicle damage. If wide building materials  
are to be frequently carried, the installation of a  
support is recommended. This will restrain the cargo  
and transfer the load to the pickup box floor.  
There are two adjustable cleats on each side of the bed  
that can be used to assist in securing cargo.  
If you wish to carry more than 600 lb (272 kg) of  
material suspended above the wheelhouse,  
supports must be installed to transfer the weight of  
the load to the pickup box floor or vehicle damage  
may result. The use of proper supports will permit  
loading up to the rated payload.
