Jeep KEYS Guide

KEY FOB
Your vehicle is equipped with a key fob which supports Passive Entry, Remote Keyless Entry (RKE), Keyless Enter ‘n Go™, Remote Air Suspension Lowering, and Remote Start. The key fob allows you to lock or unlock all doors and liftgate, as well as activate the Panic Alarm from distances up to approximately 66 ft (20 m). The key fob does not need to be pointed at the vehicle to activate the system. The key fob also contains an emergency key, which is stored in the rear of the key fob.

NOTE:
In vehicles equipped with Remote Start, the key fob will operate at distances up to 328 ft (100 m).

NOTE:

• The key fob’s wireless signal may be blocked if the key fob is located next to a mobile phone, laptop, or other electronic device. This may result in poor performance.
• If your vehicle is equipped with a Wireless Charging Pad, the key fob may not be detected if it is placed within 6 inches (15 cm) of the pad page 77.
• With the ignition in the ON position and the vehicle moving at 2 mph (4 km/h), all RKE commands are disabled.

In case the ignition switch does not change positions 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 directions to follow. For more information on ignition positions, see
page 21.

NOTE:
A low-key fob battery condition may be indicated by a message in the instrument cluster display, or by the LED light on the key fob. If the LED key fob light no lon-ger illuminates after a key fob button is pushed, then For more information on ignition positions, see
page 21.

NOTE:
A low-key fob battery condition may be indicated by a message in the instrument cluster display, or by the LED light on the key fob. If the LED key fob light no lon-ger illuminates after a key fob button is pushed, then the key fob battery requires a replacement

To Lock/Unlock The Doors And Liftgate
Push and release the unlock button on the key fob once to unlock the driver’s door, or twice within five seconds to unlock all the doors and liftgate. To lock all the doors and liftgate, push the lock button once.
When the doors are unlocked, the turn signals will flash and the illuminated entry system will be activated. When the doors are locked, the turn signals will flash and the horn will chirp.

NOTE:

• If the vehicle is equipped with the Auto Relock feature and is unlocked with the key fob, and no door is opened within 60 seconds, the vehicle will relock and the Vehicle Security system will arm
  (if equipped). This feature can be enabled/disabled within Uconnect Settings.
• If one or more doors are open, or the liftgate is open, the doors will lock. The doors will unlock again automatically if the key fob is left inside the passenger compartment, otherwise the doors will stay locked.
  All doors can be programmed to unlock on the first push of the unlock button through Uconnect Settings

Using The Panic Feature
To turn the Panic feature on or off, push the Panic button on the key fob. When the Panic feature is activated, the turn signals will flash, the horn may pulse on and off (if equipped with a horn alarm), and the interior lights will turn on.
The Panic feature will stay on for three minutes unless you turn it off by either pushing the Panic button a second time or driving the vehicle at a speed of 15 mph
(24 km/h) or greater.

NOTE:

• The interior lights will turn off if you place the ignition in the ON/RUN position while the Panic feature is activated. However, the exterior lights and horn (if equipped with a horn alarm) will remain on.
• You may need to be closer than 66 ft (20 m) from the vehicle when using the key fob to turn off the Panic feature due to the radio frequency noises emitted by the system.

Key Left Vehicle Feature
If a valid key fob is no longer detected inside the vehicle while the vehicle’s ignition system is in the ON/RUN or START position, the message “Key Fob Has Left The Vehicle” will be shown in the instrument cluster display along with an interior chime. An exterior audible and visual alert will also be activated to warn the driver.
The vehicle’s horn will rapidly chirp three times along with a single flash of the vehicle’s exterior lights.

NOTE:

• The doors have to be open and then closed for the vehicle to detect a key fob. The Key Left Vehicle feature will activate when the first door is closed and no key fob is detected in the vehicle. If the warning has been activated, and the other doors are closed, no other warnings will be issued.
• These alerts will not be activated in situations where either the vehicle’s engine is left running with the key fob inside, or the key fob’s wireless signals are blocked.

Air Suspension (Remote Lowering Of The Vehicle) — If Equipped
For easy entry and loading, your vehicle can be lowered to Entry/Exit height by pushing the key fob air suspension button two times. When air suspension lowering is requested using the key fob, the vehicle will send a series of chirps and flashes (when enabled within Uconnect Set-tings) to alert the customer that the operation has begun and will continue these alerts until it successfully lowers.
The following conditions must be met for the vehicle to lower remotely:

• The vehicle must not already be in Entry/Exit (Park) ride height.
• The vehicle battery must be fully charged.
• All doors must be closed.
• The key fob must be out of the vehicle.

NOTE:
Ensure the vehicle is clear of all objects, pets, and people before remote lowering.

Cancelling Remote Lowering
Vehicle lowering can be cancelled at any time. When vehicle lowering is cancelled, the vehicle will raise to the next defined level and lock out the remote lowering feature for five seconds before a new request can be made.
To cancel vehicle lowering, push the key fob air suspension button one time during the lowering process. When vehicle lowering is cancelled, the horn will chirp two times and the turn signals will flash four times. Once raising is completed, the horn will chirp one time.

NOTE:
For more information on Air Suspension, see page 125.

Replacing The Battery In The Key Fob
The replacement battery model is one CR2450 battery.

NOTE:

• Customers are recommended to use a battery obtained from Mopar®. Aftermarket coin battery dimensions may not meet the original OEM coin battery dimensions.
• Perchlorate Material — special handling may apply. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate for further information.
• Do not touch the battery terminals that are on the back housing or the printed circuit board.
• Do not replace the coin battery if the LED on the key fob above the top row buttons blinks when a button is pressed. The coin battery should last a minimum of three years with normal vehicle usage.

1. Remove the emergency key by pushing the emergency key release button (1) on the side of the key fob, and pulling the emergency key (2) out with your other hand.
   1. Emergency Key Release Button
   2. Emergency Key

      

2. Hold the key fob with the button side facing down, and locate the small rectangular gap on the left side between the housing and the back cover of the key fob. Use a small flat-bladed tool to pry open the left side of the fob cover while applying pressure until the cover snaps open.

   

3. Next, locate the gap on the right side of the key fob, which is positioned farther to the edge than the left side gap. Pry open the right side, and remove the back cover.
4. Remove the battery by using your thumb to slide the battery downward and back toward the key ring.

   
   NOTE:
   You can also insert a screwdriver or similar tool into the battery removal pocket to pry the battery out.

   
   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 bat-tery deterioration. If you touch a battery, clean it with rubbing alcohol.

5. Replace the battery by using your thumb to push down and slide the battery under the small lip on the top edge of the opening.

   

6. To assemble the key fob case, line up the top edge of the back cover with the top of the fob, and press the edges into the interlocking hinges until all edges snap together with no large visual gaps.
7. Reinsert the emergency key until it locks into place.

NOTE:
The key fob battery should only be replaced by qualified technicians. If the battery requires replacement, see an authorized dealer.

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.

WARNING!

• If you think a battery may have been swallowed or placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate medical attention.
• 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.

Programming And Requesting Additional Key Fobs
Programming the key fob may be performed by an authorized dealer.

NOTE:

• Once a key fob is programmed into a vehicle, it cannot be repurposed and reprogrammed into another vehicle.
• Only key fobs that are programmed to the vehicle electronics can be used to start and operate the vehicle.

WARNING!

• Always remove the key fobs 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.

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 has never been programmed.

NOTE:

• When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer system serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to an authorized dealer.
• Keys must be ordered to the correct key cut to match the vehicle locks.
• It is not mandatory to replace the key fob if a new emergency key is needed, and vice versa.

SENTRY KEY

The Sentry Key Immobilizer system prevents unauthorized vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The sys-tem does not need to be armed or activated. Operation is automatic, regardless of whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked.
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 into the vehicle can be used to start and operate the vehicle. The system cannot reprogram a key fob obtained from another vehicle.
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. If 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.

NOTE:
If the keyless push button ignition fails to start, the key fob may need to be moved around if it has been idle for more than 5 minutes.
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.

CAUTION!
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.
All of the key fobs provided with your new vehicle have been programmed into the vehicle electronics.

NOTE:
A key fob that has not been programmed is also considered an invalid key.

IGNITION SWITCH

KEYLESS ENTER ‘N GO™ IGNITION
This feature allows the driver to operate the ignition switch with the push of a button as long as the key fob is in the passenger compartment.
The START/STOP ignition button has several operating modes that are labelled and will illuminate when in position. These modes are OFF, ON/RUN, and START.

1. OFF
2. ON/RUN
   The push-button ignition can be placed in the following modes:

OFF

• The engine is stopped
• Some electrical devices (e.g. power locks, alarms, etc.) are still available

ON/RUN

• Driving position
• All electrical devices are available (e.g. climate controls, heated seats, etc.)

START

• The engine will start (when the foot is on the brake pedal)

NOTE:

• If the ignition position does not change with a push of the ignition button, and the instrument cluster displays a message such as “Key Fob Not Detected”, the key fob may have a low or depleted battery. In this situation, a backup method can be used to operate the ignition switch. Put the nose side of the key fob (side opposite of the emergency key) against the START/STOP ignition button and push to operate the ignition switch.
• Replacement of the key fob battery is recommended.

  

WARNING!

• When exiting the vehicle, always remove the key fob from the vehicle and lock your vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
• Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for several reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the gear selector.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to children, and do not leave the Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ Ignition in the ON/RUN position. A child could operate power windows, and other controls, or move the vehicle.
• Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat buildup may cause serious injury or death.

CAUTION!
An unlocked vehicle is an invitation for thieves. Always remove the key fob from the vehicle and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.

NOTE:

• The key fob may not be detected by the vehicle Key-less Enter ‘n Go™ system if it is located next to a mobile phone, laptop or another electronic device; these devices may block the key fob’s wireless signal and prevent the Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ system from starting the vehicle.
• For more information on the engine starting procedure, see page 113.
• When opening the driver’s door and the ignition is in the ON/RUN position (engine not running), a chime will sound to remind you to place the ignition in the OFF position. In addition to the chime, the message “Ignition ON” will display in the cluster.
