Security Alarm System - If Equipped; To Set The Alarm - Jeep Grand Cherokee User Manual

1. With the transmitter buttons facing down, use a
thin coin to pry the two halves of the transmitter
apart. Make sure not to damage the rubber gasket
during removal.
2. Remove and replace the batteries. Avoid
touching the new batteries with your fingers. Skin
oils may cause battery deterioration. If you touch
a battery, clean it with rubbing alcohol.

halves together. Make sure there is an even "gap"
between the two halves.
4. Reset the transmitter by pressing the unlock

SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM — IF
EQUIPPED
The vehicle security alarm system is available in a
base or premium version. Both versions of these
systems monitors the vehicle doors, liftgate, lift-
gate flipper glass, hood, and ignition status for
unauthorized operation. In addition, the premium
system monitors motion inside of the vehicle.
When the alarm is activated, the system provides
both audible and visual signals. In the base
version, the horn and exterior lights will pulse for
25 seconds. In the premium version, the exterior
lights and siren will pulse for 25 seconds. If
disturbance is still present, the siren will pulse for
another 25 seconds. This will continue for a maxi-
mum of 10 cycles.

To Set the Alarm

The alarm will set when you use the remote
keyless entry transmitter to lock the doors and
liftgate or when you use the power door lock
switch while the door is open. After all the doors
are locked and closed, a red light on the instru-
ment panel will flash rapidly for about 16 seconds
to signal that the system is arming. During this 16
second arming period, opening any door, the
liftgate, or hood will cancel the arming. If the
system successfully arms, the red light will flash at
a slower rate to indicate the alarm is set. If the
hood is left open during arming, the hood will be
ignored as an input until closed. The motion
detect feature (premium model only) can be dis-
abled by pressing the "Lock" button on the trans-
mitter 3 times within 16 seconds during system
arming. The system will provide a single siren
"chirp" as an audible confirmation of motion dis-
able.
To Disarm the System
To disarm the system, use the remote keyless
entry transmitter to unlock the door's. If something
has triggered the system in your absence, the
horn (base model only) or siren (premium model
only) will sound three times when you unlock the
doors. Check the vehicle for tampering.
The Security Alarm System is designed to protect
your vehicle; however, you can create conditions
where the system will alarm unexpectedly. If the
system is armed and you unlock the driver's door,
passenger door, or liftgate using a key and then
open it, or if you remain in the vehicle and lock the
doors with the transmitter the system will arm. The
alarm will then sound when you pull the door
handle to exit or if you move inside the vehicle
(premium model only). If this occurs, press the
"Unlock" button on the remote keyless entry trans-
mitter to disarm the system. If the key is used to
lock the vehicle, the door will be locked but the
Security Alarm will not arm.
