Sentry Key; Ignition Switch - Jeep GRAND CHEROKEE 4xe 2023 Owner's Manual

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.

SENTRY KEY

The Sentry Key Immobilizer system prevents
unauthorized vehicle operation by disabling the
engine. The system 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 to 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. In the event that 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.
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 to the vehicle electronics.
NOTE:
A key fob that has not been programmed is also
considered an invalid key.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

IGNITION SWITCH

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.
NOTE:
This vehicle is equipped with an automatic
shutdown feature. If the vehicle is left with the
ignition in the RUN position (engine not running)
with gear selector in PARK for 30 minutes, it will
automatically turn off the vehicle. If the driver door
is opened, then closed while propulsion is active
and the vehicle is in PARK, the vehicle will shut
down. Notifications have been designed into this
feature to raise awareness of the timed event. The
instrument cluster display will show the message
"Ready to Drive" accompanied with three audible
chimes while exiting. The interior warnings will
occur regardless if the key fob remains in the
vehicle or is removed. The horn will sound three
times if the fob is removed from the vehicle and the
ignition state is in READY mode.
To restart the vehicle, follow the normal process for
starting your vehicle.
