WARNING!
• Always remove the key fobs from thevehicle and lock all doors when leaving
the vehicle unattended.
• For vehicles equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go — Ignition, always remem-
ber 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 Sys-
tem serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you
to an authorized dealer.
IGNITION SWITCH
Models With Keyless Enter-N-Go —
Passive Entry
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 com-
partment.
The push button ignition has three operating
positions. The three positions are OFF, RUN,
and START.
NOTE:
If the ignition switch does not change with
the push of a button, the key fob may have a
low or dead battery. In this situation, a back
up method can be used to operate the igni-
tion 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 push button ignition can be placed in the
following positions:
OFF
• The engine is stopped.
• Some electrical devices (e.g. Central lock-
ing, alarm, etc.) are still available.

NOTE:
Changes or modifications not expressly ap-
proved by the party responsible for compli-
ance could void the user’s authority to oper-
ate the equipment.
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.
All of the key fobs provided with your new
vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle
electronics.
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 that are
programmed to the vehicle can be used tostart 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.
NOTE:
A key fob that has not been programmed is
also considered an invalid key.
During normal operation, after placing the
keyless 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 used
an invalid key fob to try 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 10 seconds), it indicates thatthere is a fault in the electronics. Should this
occur, have the vehicle serviced as soon as
possible by an authorized dealer.
VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
— IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the ve-
hicle doors, hood, liftgate, and the Keyless
Enter-N-Go — Ignition for unauthorized op-
eration. While the Vehicle Security Alarm is
armed, interior switches for door locks and
liftgate 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
• The Vehicle Security Light in the instru- ment cluster will flash

To Arm The System
Follow these steps to arm the Vehicle Secu-
rity Alarm:
1. Make sure the vehicles ignition is cycledto the “OFF” position.
• For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry, make
sure the vehicles keyless ignition sys-
tem is OFF.
• For vehicles not equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry, make
sure the vehicle ignition system is OFF,
and the key is physically removed from
the ignition.
2. Perform one of the following methods to lock the vehicle:
• Push lock button on the interior power door lock switch with the driver and/or
passenger door open.
• Push the lock button on the exterior Passive Entry Door Handle with a valid
key fob available in the same exterior

• Push the lock button on the key fob. 3. If any doors are open, close them.To Disarm The System
The Vehicle Security Alarm can be disarmed
using any of the following methods:
• Push the unlock
button on the key
fob.
• Grasp the Passive Entry Unlock Door Handle.
• Cycle the vehicle ignition system out of the OFF position.– For vehicles equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry, push the
keyless ignition button (requires at
least one valid key fob in the vehicle).
– For vehicles not equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry, insert a
valid key into the ignition and turn the
key to the ON position.
NOTE:
• The driver's door key cylinder and the liftgate button on the key fob cannot arm
or disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm. • The Vehicle Security Alarm remains armed
during power liftgate entry. Pushing the
liftgate button will not disarm the Vehicle
Security Alarm. If someone enters the ve-
hicle through the liftgate and opens any
door, the alarm will sound.
• When the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, the interior power door lock switches will
not unlock the doors.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to
protect your vehicle. However, you can create
conditions where the system 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 Ve-
hicle 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.

NOTE:
• Passive Entry may be programmed ON/
OFF; refer to “Uconnect Settings” in
“Multimedia” for further information. • If wearing gloves on your hands, or if it has
been raining on the Passive Entry door
handle, the unlock sensitivity can be af-
fected, 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.

indicate that the parking brake is applied,
that the brake fluid level is low, or that there
is a problem with the anti-lock brake system
reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking
brake has been disengaged, and the fluid
level is at the full mark on the master cylinder
reservoir, it indicates a possible brake hy-
draulic system malfunction or that a problem
with the Brake Booster has been detected by
the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) / Elec-
tronic Stability Control (ESC) system. In this
case, the light will remain on until the condi-
tion has been corrected. If the problem is
related to the brake booster, the ABS pump
will run when applying the brake, and a brake
pedal pulsation may be felt during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve
braking capacity in the event of a failure to a
portion of the hydraulic system. A leak in
either half of the dual brake system is indi-
cated by the Brake Warning Light, which will
turn on when the brake fluid level in the
master cylinder has dropped below a speci-
fied level.The light will remain on until the cause is
corrected.
NOTE:
The light may flash momentarily during sharp
cornering maneuvers, which change fluid
level conditions. The vehicle should have
service performed, and the brake fluid level
checked.
If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair
is necessary.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light
on is dangerous. Part of the brake system
may have failed. It will take longer to stop
the vehicle. You could have a collision.
Have the vehicle checked immediately.
Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake
System (ABS) are also equipped with Elec-
tronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD). In the
event of an EBD failure, the Brake Warning
Light will turn on along with the ABS Light.
Immediate repair to the ABS system is re-
quired. Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be
checked by turning the ignition switch from
the OFF position to the ON/RUN position.
The light should illuminate for approximately
two seconds. The light should then turn off
unless the parking brake is applied or a brake
fault is detected. If the light does not illumi-
nate, have the light inspected by an autho-
rized dealer.
The light also will turn on when the parking
brake is applied with the ignition switch in
the ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
This light shows only that the parking brake is
applied. It does not show the degree of brake
application.
– Vehicle Security Light
This light will flash at a fast rate for approxi-
mately 15 seconds when the vehicle security
alarm is arming, and then will flash slowly
until the vehicle is disarmed.

When the vehicle is started, the BSM warning
light will momentarily illuminate in both out-
side rear view mirrors to let the driver know
that the system is operational. The BSM
system sensors operate when the vehicle is in
any forward gear or REVERSE and enters
stand by mode when the vehicle is in PARK.
The BSM warning light, located in the out-
side mirrors, will illuminate if a vehicle
moves into a blind spot zone.The BSM system can also be configured to
sound an audible (chime) alert and mute the
radio to notify you of objects that have en-
tered the detection zones.
Rear Cross Path (RCP)
The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is in-
tended to aid the driver when backing out of
parking spaces where the vision of oncoming
vehicles may be blocked. Proceed slowly and
cautiously out of the parking space until the rear end of the vehicle is exposed. The RCP
system will then have a clear view of the cross
traffic and if an oncoming vehicle is de-
tected, will alert the driver. When RCP is on
and the vehicle is in REVERSE, the driver is
alerted using both the visual and audible
alarms, including reducing the radio volume.
Refer to “Blind Spot Monitoring” in “Safety”
in the Owner's Manual at
www.jeep.com/en/owners/manuals/ for more
information.
Modes Of Operation
Three selectable modes of operation are
available in the Uconnect System. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings/Customer Programmable
Features” in “Multimedia” for further infor-
mation.
Blind Spot Alert Lights Only
When operating in Blind Spot Alert mode, the
BSM system will provide a visual alert in the
appropriate side view mirror based on a de-
tected object. However, when the system is
operating in Rear Cross Path (RCP) mode, the

WARNING!
are designed to open only when the air
bags are inflating.
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead
to more severe injuries in a collision. The
air bags work with your seat belt to
restrain you properly. In some collisions,
air bags won’t deploy at all. Always wear
your seat belts even though you have air
bags.
Front Air Bag Operation
Front Air Bags are designed to provide addi-
tional protection by supplementing the seat
belts. Front air bags are not expected to
reduce the risk of injury in rear, side, or
rollover collisions. The front air bags will not
deploy in all frontal collisions, including
some that may produce substantial vehicle
damage — for example, some pole collisions,
truck underrides, and angle offset collisions.
On the other hand, depending on the type
and location of impact, front air bags may
deploy in crashes with little vehicle front-end
damage but that produce a severe initial
deceleration. Because air bag sensors measure vehicle
deceleration over time, vehicle speed and
damage by themselves are not good indica-
tors of whether or not an air bag should have
deployed.
Seat belts are necessary for your protection in
all collisions, and also are needed to help
keep you in position, away from an inflating
air bag.
When the ORC detects a collision requiring
the front air bags, it signals the inflator units.
A large quantity of non-toxic gas is generated
to inflate the front air bags.
The steering wheel hub trim cover and the
upper right side of the instrument panel
separate and fold out of the way as the air
bags inflate to their full size. The front air
bags fully inflate in less time than it takes to
blink your eyes. The front air bags then
quickly deflate while helping to restrain the
driver and front passenger.
Knee Impact Bolsters
The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the
knees of the driver and front passenger, and
position the front occupants for improved
interaction with the front air bags.
WARNING!
• Do not drill, cut, or tamper with the knee
impact bolsters in any way.
• Do not mount any accessories to the
knee impact bolsters such as alarm
lights, stereos, citizen band radios, etc.
Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental
Driver Knee Air Bag mounted in the instru-
ment panel below the steering column. The
Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag provides
enhanced protection during a frontal impact
by working together with the seat belts, pre-
tensioners, and front air bags.

(40 km/h) the vehicle height will be auto-
matically lowered to OR1. Refer to “Driv-
ing Tips” in “Starting And Operating” for
further information.
• Aero Mode (Lowers the vehicle approxi-
mately 0.6 inches (15 mm) – This position
provides improved aerodynamics by lower-
ing the vehicle. The vehicle will automati-
cally enter Aero Mode when the vehicle
speed remains between 52 mph (83 km/h)
and 56 mph (90 km/h) for greater than
20 seconds or if the vehicle speed exceeds
56 mph (90 km/h). The vehicle will return
to NRH from Aero Mode if the vehicle
speed remains between 20 mph (32 km/h)
and 25 mph (40 km/h) for greater than
20 seconds or if the vehicle speed falls
below 20 mph (32 km/h). The vehicle will
enter Aero Mode, regardless of vehicle
speed if the vehicle is in “SPORT” mode.
• Entry/Exit Mode (Lowers the vehicle approxi-
mately 1.6 inces (40 mm) – This position
lowers the vehicle for easier passenger
entry and exit as well as lowering the rear
of the vehicle for easier loading and un-
loading of cargo. To enter Entry/Exit Mode,
push the “DOWN” button once from (NRH) while the vehicle speed is below
25 mph (40 km/h). Once the vehicle
speed goes below 15 mph (24 km/h) the
vehicle height will begin to lower. If the
vehicle speed remains between 15 mph
(24 km/h) and 25 mph (40 km/h) for
greater than 60 seconds, or the vehicle
speed exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h) the
Entry/Exit Mode change will be cancelled.
To exit Entry/Exit Mode, press the “Up”
button once while in Entry/Exit Mode or
drive the vehicle over 15 mph (24 km/h).
NOTE:
Automatic lowering of the vehicle into Entry/
Exit Mode can be enabled through the
Uconnect Touch-Screen Radio. If this feature
is enabled, the vehicle will only lower if the
gear selector is in "PARK", the terrain switch
is in "AUTO", the transfer-case is in "AUTO”
and the vehicle level should be either in
Normal or Aero Mode. The Vehicle will not
automatically lower if the air suspension level
is in Off Rd 2 or Off Rd 1. If the vehicle is
equipped with Intrusion Theft Module (ITM),
the lowering will be suppressed when the
ignition is switched OFF and the door is open
to prevent setting the alarm off. The Selec-Terrain switch will automatically
change the vehicle to the proper height based
on the position of the Selec-Terrain switch.
The height can be changed from the default
Selec-Terrain setting by normal use of the air
suspension buttons. Refer to “Selec-Terrain”
in “Starting And Operating” for further infor-
mation.
The system requires that the engine be run-
ning for all changes. When lowering the ve-
hicle all of the doors, including the liftgate,
must be closed. If a door is opened at any
time while the vehicle is lowering the change
will not be completed until the open door(s) is
closed.
The Quadra-Lift air suspension system uses a
lifting and lowering pattern which keeps the
headlights from incorrectly shining into on-
coming traffic. When raising the vehicle, the
rear of the vehicle will move up first and then
the front. When lowering the vehicle, the
front will move down first and then the rear.
