Press and release the LOCK or UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter to lock and unlock all doors, the tailgate and the RamBox (if equipped). Refer to "Remote Keyless Entry" for further details.

Always return the key to the upright (vertical) position before removing the key from the pushbutton.
CAUTION!
