Ignition Switch; Keyless Enter 'N Go™ Ignition - Jeep GLADIATOR 2023 Owner's Manual

If the Vehicle Security Light turns on during normal vehicle
operation (vehicle running for longer than ten 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 starting 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 to the vehicle electronics
NOTE:
A key fob that has not been programmed is also
considered an invalid key.

method can be used to operate the ignition switch. Put the
nose side of the key fob (side with the mechanical flip key)
against the START/STOP ignition button and push to
operate the ignition switch.

START/STOP ignition button.

button comes as an assembly, and is not removable.
This can damage the silicone shield.
