Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT (2018 year). Instruction — part 2

Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system. The ignition
system consists of a key fob with Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) and a START/STOP push button ignition system.
The Remote Keyless Entry system consists of a key fob and
Keyless Enter-N-Go feature if equipped.

NOTE:

The key fob may not be found if it is located next to

a mobile phone, laptop or other electronic device; these
devices may block the key fob’s wireless signal.

The key fob allows you to lock or unlock the doors and
liftgate from distances up to approximately 66 ft (20 m)
using a handheld key fob. The key fob does not need to be
pointed at the vehicle to activate the system.

NOTE:

In the ON/RUN position, the lock button is dis-

abled. Only the unlock button is enabled.

(side opposite of the Emergency Key) against the ENGINE
START/STOP button and push to operate the ignition
switch.

www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate for fur-
ther information.

• Do not touch the battery terminals that are on the back

housing or the printed circuit board.

1. Remove the emergency key by sliding the mechanical

latch on the back of the key fob sideways with your
thumb and pull the emergency key out with your other
hand.

3. Remove the battery by turning the back cover over

(battery facing downward) and tapping it lightly on a
solid surface such as a table or similar and replace the
battery. When replacing the battery, match the + sign on
the battery to the + sign on the inside of the battery clip,
located on the back cover. Avoid touching the new
battery with your fingers. Skin oils may cause battery
deterioration. If you touch a battery, clean it with
rubbing alcohol.

4. To assemble the key fob case, snap the two halves

together.

Programming Additional Key Fobs

Programming the key fob may be performed by your
authorized dealer.

Request For Additional Key Fobs

NOTE:

Only key fobs that are programmed to the vehicle

electronics can be used to start and operate the vehicle.
Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be
programmed to any other vehicle.

WARNING!

• Always remove the key fobs from the vehicle and

lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.

• Always remember to place the ignition in the OFF

mode.

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 is one
that has never been programmed.

NOTE:

When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer System

serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to an authorized
dealer.

REMOTE STARTING SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED

This system uses the key fob to start the engine
conveniently from outside the vehicle while still
maintaining security. The system has a range of
328 ft (100 m).

The Remote Starting System also activates the Climate
Control, vented seats (if equipped) in temperatures above
80° F (26.7° C), and the optional heated seats, and optional
heated steering wheel in temperatures below 40° F (4.4° C).
Refer to “Front Heated Seats” and “Front Ventilated Seats”
in “Seats” in this section for further information.

NOTE:
• The vehicle must be equipped with an automatic trans-

mission to be equipped with Remote Start.

• Obstructions between the vehicle and key fob may

reduce this range.

WARNING!

• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or

confined area. Exhaust gas contains Carbon Monox-
ide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon
Monoxide is poisonous and can cause serious injury
or death when inhaled.

Remote Start System, windows, door locks or other
controls could cause serious injury or death.

How To Use Remote Start

• Push Remote Start button on the key fob twice within

five seconds. Pushing the Remote Start button a third
time shuts the engine off.

minutes (time out) unless the ignition is placed in the
ON/RUN position.

• The vehicle must be manually started with a push of the

ignition START/STOP button after two consecutive time
outs.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

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 RF receiver to prevent unauthorized vehicle opera-
tion. Therefore, only key fobs that are programmed to the
vehicle can be used to start and operate the vehicle. The
system will not allow the engine to crank if an invalid key
fob is used to start and operate the vehicle. The system will
shut the engine off in two seconds if an invalid key fob is
used to start the engine.

After turning the ignition switch to 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

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

addition, if the light begins to flash after the bulb check, it
indicates that someone used an invalid key fob to start the
engine. Either of these conditions will result in the engine
being shut off after two seconds.

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 your
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.

Customer Key Programming

Programming key fobs may be performed at your autho-
rized dealer.

Replacement Keys

NOTE:

Only key fobs that are programmed to the vehicle

electronics can be used to start and operate the vehicle.
Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be
programmed to any other vehicle.

CAUTION!

• 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.

NOTE:

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
is one that has never been programmed.

When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer System serviced,
bring all vehicle keys with you to an authorized dealer.

Irregular Operation

The system uses a key fob, an Ignition Node Module,
Keyless Push Button Ignition and a RF receiver to prevent
unauthorized vehicle operation. Therefore, only key fobs
