The illuminated entry system will not operate if
the dimmer control is in the “Dome OFF” posi-
tion (rotate horizontal thumb wheel on the bot-
tom of the switch to the far left detent position).
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with illuminated
approach lights under the outside mirrors,
they can be turned off by using the EVIC/DID
controls (if NOT equipped with a touch-
screen radio) or the Uconnect® radio (if
equipped with a touchscreen radio). For
further information, refer to “EVIC/DID” or
“Uconnect® Settings” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel”.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
(RKE) — IF EQUIPPED
The RKE system allows you to lock or unlock
the doors from distances up to approximately
66 ft (20 m) using a hand-held radio transmitter
with integrated key. The transmitter does not
need to be pointed at the vehicle to activate the
system. Press and release the LOCK button on
the RKE transmitter to lock all doors, the tail-
gate, and the RamBox® (if equipped). The turn
signal lights will flash and the horn will chirp to
acknowledge the signal.
NOTE:
Inserting the Key Fob with RKE transmitter
into the ignition switch disables the system
from responding to any button presses from
that RKE transmitter. Driving at speeds
5 mph (8 km/h) and above disables the
system from responding to all RKE transmit-
ter buttons for all RKE transmitters.
Remote Unlock The Doors
Push and release the UNLOCK button on the
RKE transmitter once to unlock the driver’s
door. Push the unlock button twice within five
seconds to unlock all doors, the tailgate and the
RamBox® (if equipped). The turn signal lights
will flash to acknowledge the unlock signal. The
illuminated entry system will also turn on.
NOTE:
The EVIC/DID or Uconnect® Settings are
setup for driver door first, otherwise this will
unlock all doors.
