PREMIUM VEHICLE
SECURITY ALARM — IF
EQUIPPED
The premium vehicle security alarm system
monitors the doors, hood latch, and liftgate
for unauthorized entry and the ignition
switch for unauthorized operation. The
system also includes a dual function intru -
sion sensor and vehicle tilt sensor. The intru -
sion sensor monitors the vehicle interior for
motion. The vehicle tilt sensor monitors the
vehicle for any tilting actions (tow away, tire
removal, ferry transport, etc). A siren with
battery backup which senses interruptions of
power and communications is also included.
If a perimeter violation triggers the security
system, the siren will sound for 29 seconds
and the exterior lights will flash followed by
approximately five seconds of no activity.
This will continue for eight cycles if no action
is taken to disarm the system.

Follow these steps to arm the security alarm:
1. Remove the key from the ignition system, refer to "Starting The Engine" in "Starting And Operating" in the Owner’s manual for
further information.

DOORS
Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry
The Passive Entry system is an enhancement
to the vehicle’s Remote Keyless Entry system
and a feature of Keyless Enter-N-Go —
Passive Entry. This feature allows you to lock
and unlock the vehicle’s door(s) and fuel
door without having to push the key fob lock
or unlock buttons.
NOTE:
Passive Entry may be programmed ON/
OFF. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in
“Multimedia” in the Owner’s Manual for
further information.
The key fob may not be detected by the
vehicle passive entry system if it is located
next to a mobile phone, laptop, or other
electronic device; these devices may inter-
fere with the key fob’s wireless signal and
prevent the passive entry system from
locking/unlocking the vehicle.

Passive Entry Unlock initiates illuminated
approach (Low Beams, License Plate Lamp,
Position Lamps) for whichever time duration
is set between 0, 30 (default), 60 or 90
seconds. Passive Entry Unlock also initiates
two flashes of the turn signal lamps.

If wearing gloves on your hands, or if it has
been raining/snowing on the Passive Entry
door handle, the unlock sensitivity can be
affected, resulting in a slower response
time.
If the vehicle is unlocked by Passive Entry
and no door is opened within 60 seconds,
the vehicle will re-lock and if equipped
will arm the security alarm.
To Unlock From The Driver's Side
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the driver's door handle, grab the
front driver door handle to unlock the driver's
door automatically.
Grab The Door Handle To Unlock NOTE:
If “Unlock All Doors 1st Press” is
programmed, all doors will unlock when you
grab hold of the front driver’s door handle. To
select between “Unlock Driver Door 1st
Press” and “Unlock All Doors 1st Press,”
refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multi
-
media” in the Owner’s Manual for further
information.
To Unlock From The Passenger Side
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the passenger door handle, grab
the front passenger door handle to unlock all
four doors and the liftgate automatically.
NOTE:
All doors will unlock when the front
passenger door handle is grabbed regardless
of the driver’s door unlock preference setting
(“Unlock Driver Door 1st Press” or “Unlock
All Doors 1st Press”).
Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of Passive
Entry Key Fob In Vehicle (FOBIK-Safe)
To minimize the possibility of unintentionally
locking a Passive Entry key fob inside your
vehicle, the Passive Entry system is
equipped with an automatic door unlock
feature which will function if the ignition
switch is in the OFF position.
2020_JEEP_M6_UG_UK.book Page 21

FOBIK-Safe only executes in vehicles with
Passive Entry. There are three situations that
trigger a FOBIK-Safe search in any Passive
Entry vehicle:
A lock request is made by a valid Passive
Entry key fob while a door is open.
A lock request is made by the Passive
Entry door handle while a door is open.
A lock request is made by the door panel
switch while the door is open.
When any of these situations occur, after all
open doors are shut, the FOBIK-Safe search
will be executed. If it finds a Passive Entry
key fob inside the vehicle and it does not find
any Passive Entry key fobs outside the
vehicle, then the vehicle will unlock and alert
the customer.
NOTE:
The vehicle will only unlock the doors when
a valid Passive Entry key fob is detected
inside the vehicle. The vehicle will not
unlock the doors when any of the following
conditions are true:
The doors are manually locked using the
door lock knobs.
There is a valid Passive Entry key fob
outside the vehicle and within 5 ft (1.5 m) of either Passive Entry door handle.
Three attempts are made to lock the doors
using the door panel switch and then close
the doors.
To Unlock/Enter The Liftgate
The liftgate Passive Entry unlock feature is
built into liftgate handle release. With a valid
Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of
the liftgate, push the electronic liftgate
release to open with one fluid motion.
To Lock The Liftgate
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the liftgate, push the Passive
Entry lock button located to the right of lift -

NOTE:
The liftgate Passive Entry lock button will
lock all doors and the liftgate. The liftgate
unlock feature is built into the electronic lift -
gate release. Electronic Liftgate Release/Liftgate Passive
Entry Location
NOTE:
Always take the key with you once a door or
the liftgate is locked to prevent locking the
key fob inside of the vehicle. If the key has
been locked inside of the vehicle, it can be
recovered using the second provided key fob.
To Lock The Vehicle’s Doors And Liftgate
With one of the vehicle’s Passive Entry key
fobs within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the driver or
passenger front door handles, push the
Passive Entry lock button located on the

If Passive Entry is disabled using the
Uconnect System, the key protection
described in "Preventing Inadvertent
Locking of Passive Entry Key Fob In

if the key fob battery is depleted.
The vehicle doors can also be locked by
using the lock button located on the
vehicle’s interior door panel.
Child-Protection Door Lock System —
Rear Doors
To provide a safer environment for small chil -
dren riding in the rear seats, the rear doors
are equipped with a Child-Protection Door
Lock system. To use the system, open each rear door, use
a flat blade screwdriver (or emergency key)
and rotate the dial to the lock or unlock posi
-
tion. When the system on a door is engaged,
that door can only be opened by using the
outside door handle even if the inside door
lock is in the unlocked position.

in the ACC or ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
For vehicles equipped with the Uconnect,
the power window switches will remain
active for up to 10 minutes after the ignition
is placed in the OFF position. Opening either
front door will cancel this feature. The time is programmable. Refer to “Uconnect

in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. Occupants,
particularly unattended children, can
become entrapped by the windows while
operating the power window switches.
Such entrapment may result in serious
injury or death.
WARNING!
There is no anti-pinch protection when the
window is almost closed. To avoid personal
injury be sure to clear your arms, hands,
