FIAT Freemont - Manual (Page 15)

NOTE: In case the ignition switch does not change
with the push of a button, the RKE transmitter (Key
Fob) may have a low or dead battery. In this situation a
back up method can be used to operate the ignition
switch. Put the nose side (side opposite of the emer-
gency key) of the Key Fob against the ENGINE START/
STOP button and push to operate the ignition switch.

KEY FOB
The Key Fob also contains the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter and an emergency key, which stores
in the rear of the Key Fob.
The emergency key allows for entry into the vehicle
should the battery in the vehicle or the Key Fob go
dead. The emergency key is also for locking the glove
box. You can keep the emergency key with you when
valet parking.
To remove the emergency key, slide the mechanical
latch on the side of the Key Fob sideways with your
thumb and then pull the key out with your other hand.
