phone JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2023 Owners Manual

WARNING: Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle or off-highway
motor vehicle can expose you to chemicals including engine exhaust, carbon monoxide,
phthalates, and lead, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and
birth defects or other reproductive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust,
do not idle the engine except as necessary, service your vehicle in a well-ventilated area
and wear gloves or wash your hands frequently when servicing your vehicle. For more
information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-vehicle.
The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, resulting in an accident
and personal injury. FCA US LLC strongly recommends that the driver use extreme caution when using any device or feature that may take their attention
off the road. Use of any electrical devices, such as cellular telephones, computers, portable radios, vehicle navigation or other devices by the driver while
the vehicle is moving is dangerous and could lead to a serious accident. Texting while driving is also dangerous and should never be done while the vehicle
is moving. If you find yourself unable to devote your full attention to vehicle operation, pull off the road to a safe location and stop your vehicle. Some states
or provinces prohibit the use of cellular telephones or texting while driving. It is always the driver’s responsibility to comply with all local laws.

KEYS
KEY FOB
Your vehicle is equipped with a key fob which
supports Passive Entry, Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE), Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ (if equipped), Remote
Start (if equipped), and remote power liftgate (if
equipped) operation. The key fob allows you to lock
or unlock all doors and liftgate, as well as activate
the Panic Alarm from distances up to
approximately 66 ft (20 m). The key fob does not need to be pointed at the vehicle to activate the
system. The key fob also contains an emergency
key, which is stored in the rear of the key fob.
NOTE:In vehicles equipped with Remote Start, the key
fob will operate at distances up to 328 ft (100 m).
NOTE:
The key fob’s wireless signal may be blocked if
the key fob is located next to a mobile phone,
laptop, or other electronic device. This may
result in poor performance.
If your vehicle is equipped with a Wireless
Charging Pad, the key fob may not be detected
if it is placed within 6 inches (15 cm) of the pad
Ú page 80.
With the ignition in the ON position and the
vehicle moving at 2 mph (4 km/h), all RKE
commands are disabled.

Key Fob
In case the ignition switch does not change
positions with the push of a button, the key fob
may have a low or fully depleted battery. A low key
fob battery can be verified by referring to the
instrument cluster, which will display directions to
follow.
For more information on ignition positions, see
Ú
page 22.
NOTE:A low key fob battery condition may be indicated by
a message in the instrument cluster display, or by
the LED light on the key fob. If the LED key fob light
no longer illuminates after a key fob button is
pushed, then the key fob battery requires
replacement Ú page 408.

button once.
If enabled within the Uconnect system, the turn
signals will flash and other illuminated entry
features will be activated when the doors are
unlocked. When the doors are locked, the turn
signals will flash and the horn will chirp.

24GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE:
The key fob may not be detected by the vehicle
Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ system if it is located next
to a mobile phone, laptop or other electronic
device, or in the cupholders near aluminum
cans; these devices may block the key fob’s
wireless signal and prevent the Keyless Enter ‘n
Go™ system from starting the vehicle.
For more information on the engine starting
procedure, see Úpage 119.
When opening the driver's door and the ignition
is in the ON/RUN position (engine not running),
a chime will sound to remind you to place the
ignition in the OFF position. In addition to the
chime, the message “Ignition ON” will display in
the cluster.
REMOTE START — 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 approximately
328 ft (100 m).
Remote Start is used to defrost windows in cold
weather, and to reach a comfortable climate in all
ambient conditions before the driver enters the
vehicle.
NOTE:Obstructions between the vehicle and key fob may
reduce this range Ú page 408.
HOW TO USE REMOTE START
Push and release the Remote Start button on the
key fob twice within five seconds. The vehicle
doors will lock, the parking lights will flash, and the
horn will chirp twice (if programmed). Then, the
engine will start, and the vehicle will remain in the
Remote Start mode for a 15 minute cycle. Pushing
the Remote Start button a third time shuts the
engine off.
NOTE:
If the Remote Start button on the key fob is
pushed too rapidly during activation, the vehicle
may not start.
With Remote Start, the engine will only run for
15 minutes.
Remote Start can only be used twice.
If an engine fault is present or fuel level is low,
the vehicle will start and then shut down in 10
seconds.
The parking lights will turn on and remain on
during Remote Start mode.
Headlight animation (if equipped) will occur
when Remote Start is activated, if “Headlight
Illumination On Approach” is enabled within
Uconnect Settings.
For security, power window and power sunroof
operation (if equipped) are disabled when the
vehicle is in the Remote Start mode.
The ignition must be placed in the ON/RUN posi -
tion before the Remote Start sequence can be
repeated for a third cycle.
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 fobs away from children. Operation
of the Remote Start system, windows, door
locks or other controls could cause serious
injury or death.

28GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE:When using the emergency key to unlock the
outside door handle, make sure the handle of the
emergency key is pointing toward the rear of the
vehicle. This will ensure the handle can be pulled
all the way out while the key is in the lock cylinder.
The rear doors can be manually unlocked with a
double pull of the inside door handle.
Each door can be manually locked by inserting the
emergency key into the emergency lock lever and
sliding the lever upward. The emergency lock lever
is located on the door latch face of each door.

Emergency Lock Lever (Driver’s Door Shown)

NOTE:
The emergency lock lever is only accessible
when the door is open.
Manually locking the vehicle will not arm the
Vehicle Security system.
POWER DOOR LOCKS
The power door lock buttons are located on each
front door panel. Push the lock button to lock all
doors and liftgate, or the unlock button to unlock
all doors and liftgate. When the doors are locked, an indicator light in the
lock button will illuminate.

Power Door Lock Switches

The driver’s door will unlock automatically if the
key fob is detected inside the vehicle when the
door lock button on the front door panel is used to
lock the door, then the door is closed. The horn will
also chirp to alert the driver. This will occur for two
attempts. On the third attempt, the doors will lock
even if the key fob is inside.
NOTE:If the key fob is located next to a mobile phone,
laptop, or other electronic device, the wireless
signal may get blocked, and the driver’s door may
not unlock automatically.
If the door lock button is pushed while the ignition
is in the ON/RUN position and the driver's door is
open, the doors will not lock.
WARNING!
For personal security and safety in the event
of a collision, lock the vehicle doors before you
drive as well as when you park and leave the
vehicle.
When exiting the vehicle, always make sure
the ignition is in the OFF position, remove the
key fob from the vehicle and lock your vehicle.

Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing chil -
dren to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous
for a number of reasons. A child or others could
be seriously or fatally injured. Children should
be warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the gear selector.

Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle,
or in a location accessible to children, and do
not leave the Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ Ignition in
the ON/RUN position. A child could operate
power windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.

from locking/unlocking the vehicle.
Passive Entry unlock initiates illuminated
approach (low beams, license plate lamp,
parking lights, door handle pocket lights [if equipped]) for a preset duration of 0, 30, 60 or
90 seconds. Passive Entry unlock also initiates
two flashes of the turn signal lights.
If wearing gloves, if it has been raining/snowing,
or there is salt/dirt covering the Passive Entry
door handle, the unlock and lock sensitivity can
be affected, resulting in a slower response time.
The doors may lock and unlock when water is
sprayed on the Passive Entry door handles, if
the key fob is located outside of the vehicle
within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the handle.
Passive Entry lock initiates one horn chirp and
one flash of turn signal lights. These settings
can be programmed on/off within Uconnect
Settings Ú
page 204.
If the vehicle is unlocked by Passive Entry and
no door is opened within 60 seconds, the
vehicle will relock and will rearm the Vehicle
