Rollover Warning
WARNING!
• Pedals that cannot move freely can cause loss of vehicle control and increasethe risk of serious personal injury.
• Always make sure that objects cannot fall into the driver foot well while the
vehicle is moving. Objects can become trapped under the brake pedal and
accelerator pedal causing a loss of vehicle control.
• Failure to properly follow floor mat installation or mounting can cause inter-
ference with the brake pedal and accelerator pedal operation causing loss of
control of the vehicle.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
• Never use the ‘PARK’ position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always
apply the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement
and possible injury or damage.
USE OF AFTERMARKET PRODUCTS (ELECTRONICS)
The use of aftermarket devices including cell phones, MP3 players, GPS systems, or
chargers may affect the performance of on-board wireless features including Keyless
Enter-N-Go and Remote Start range. If you are experiencing difficulties with any of
your wireless features, try disconnecting your aftermarket devices to see if the
situation improves. If your symptoms persist, please see an authorized dealer.
When it comes to service, remember that your authorized dealer knows your Jeep
®
vehicle best, has factory-trained technicians and genuine MOPAR®parts, and cares
about your satisfaction.

KEY FOB
• This feature allows the driver to oper-ate the ignition switch with the push of
a button as long as the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter is in the pas-
senger compartment.
• The Keyless Push Button Ignition has four operating positions, three of
which are labeled and will illuminate
when in position. The three positions
are OFF, ACC, and ON/RUN. The fourth
position is START, during start, RUN
will illuminate.
NOTE:
In case the ignition switch does not change
with the push of a button, the RKE trans-
mitter (Key Fob) may have a low or dead
battery. In this situation, a back up method
can be used to operate the ignition switch.
Put the nose side (side opposite of the
emergency key) of the Key Fob against the
ENGINE START/STOP button and push to
operate the ignition switch.
• The Ignition Node Module (IGNM) op- erates similar to an ignition switch. It
has four operating positions, three with
detents and one that is spring-loaded.
The detent positions are OFF, ACC, and
ON/RUN. The START position is a
spring-loaded momentary contact po-
sition. When released from the START
position, the switch automatically re-
turns to the ON/RUN position.

Pushing the REMOTE START button a third time shuts the engine off.
• To drive the vehicle, push UNLOCK button, insert the key in the ignition and turn to the ON/RUN position.
• With remote start, the engine will only run for 15 minutes (timeout) unless the ignition key is placed in the ON/RUN position.
• The vehicle must be started with the key after two consecutive timeouts.
WARNING!
• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gas contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon
Monoxide is poisonous and can cause serious injury or death when inhaled.
• Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start
System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause serious injury or
death.
Remote Start Windshield Wiper De–icer Activation — If Equipped
When Remote Start is active and the outside ambient temperature is less than 40° F
(4.4° C), the wiper De-Icer will be enabled. On exiting remote start resume previous
operation except, if the De-Icer is active, the De-Icer timer and operation will continue.
VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors for unauthorized entry and the
ignition for unauthorized operation. While the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed,
interior switches for door locks and decklid release are disabled. If something triggers
the alarm, the Vehicle Security Alarm will provide the following audible and visible
signals: the horn will pulse, the park lamps and/or turn signals will flash, and the
Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash.
To Arm The System:
Lock the door using either the power door lock switch (one door must be open) or the
LOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter (doors can be open or
closed), and close all doors.
The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash for 16 seconds. This
shows that the Vehicle Security Alarm is arming. During this period, if a door is
opened, the ignition is cycled to ON/RUN, or the power door locks are unlocked in any
manner, the Vehicle Security Alarm will automatically disarm.

NOTE:
• The Vehicle Security Alarm will not arm if you lock the doors with the manual doorlock plungers.
• Once armed, the Vehicle Security Alarm disables the unlock switch on the driver door trim panel and passenger door trim panel.
To Disarm The System:
Push the Key Fob UNLOCK button or cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your vehicle. However, you can create
conditions where the Vehicle Security Alarm will give you a false alarm. If one of the
previously described arming sequences has occurred, the Vehicle Security Alarm will
arm regardless of whether you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle and
open a door, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed and the battery becomes disconnected, the Vehicle
Security Alarm will remain armed when the battery is reconnected. The exterior lights will
flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
KEYLESS ENTER-N-GO
The Keyless Enter-N-Go system is an enhancement to the vehicle’s Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) feature. This feature allows you to lock and unlock the vehicle's door(s)
and liftgate without having to push the Key Fob LOCK or UNLOCK buttons, as well as
starting and stopping the vehicle with the push of a button.
To Unlock From The Driver Or Passenger Side:
• With a valid Keyless Enter-N-Go Key Fob located outside the vehicle and within 5ft (1.5 m) of the driver or passenger side door handle, grab either front door handle
to unlock the door automatically.

tion or other physical condition must exercise care when using the seat heater.
It may cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long periods
of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat or seatback that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion. This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in
a seat that has been overheated could cause serious burns due to the increased
surface temperature of the seat.
