Jeep Grand Cherokee (2019 year). Instruction

WARNING! (Continued)

• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with

access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children 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
ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-
N-Go in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.

Power Door Locks

The power door lock switches are located on each front
door panel. Push the switch to lock or unlock the doors.

The driver’s door will unlock automatically if the keys are
found inside the car when door lock button on trim is used
to lock the door.

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 auto-
matically.

At the third attempt, the doors will lock even if the key is
inside.

Power Door Lock Switch

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

If the door lock switch is pushed while the ignition is in
ACC or ON/RUN and the driver’s door is open, the doors
will not lock.

If a rear door is locked, it cannot be opened from inside the
vehicle without first unlocking the door. The door may be
unlocked manually by raising the lock knob.

Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry

The Passive Entry system is an enhancement to the vehi-
cle’s key fob 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” for further infor-
mation.

• The key fob may not be able to 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 block the key fob’s wireless signal and prevent the
passive entry system from locking/unlocking the ve-
hicle.

• 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 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.

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
Push” and “Unlock All Doors 1st Press,” refer to “Uconnect
Settings” in “Multimedia” 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 automati-
cally.

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.

FOBIK-Safe only executes in vehicles with passive entry.
There are five 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.

Grab The Door Handle To Unlock

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

• A lock request is made by the door panel switch while

the door is open.

• When the vehicle security alarm is in pre-arm or armed

status and the liftgate transitions from open to closed.

• When the liftgate transitions from opened to closed and

remote start is active.

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 car, the car 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 follow-
ing conditions are true:
• The doors are manually locked using the door lock

knobs.

• Three attempts are made to lock the doors using the

door panel switch and then close the doors.

• There is a valid Passive Entry key fob outside the vehicle

within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of a Passive Entry door handle.

To Lock The Vehicle’s Doors And Liftgate

With one of the vehicle’s Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the driver or passenger front door handles,
pushing the passive entry lock button will lock the vehicle.

Push The Door Handle Button To Lock

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE:

DO NOT grab the door handle, when pushing the

door handle lock button. This could unlock the door(s).

NOTE:
• After pushing the door handle button, you must wait

two seconds before you can lock or unlock the doors,
using either Passive Entry door handle. This is done to
allow you to check if the vehicle is locked by pulling the
door handle without the vehicle reacting and unlocking.

• If Passive Entry is disabled using Uconnect System, the

key protection described in

⬙Preventing Inadvertent

Locking of Passive Entry Key Fob in Vehicle

⬙ remains

active/functional.

• The Passive Entry system will not operate if the key fob

battery is dead.

The vehicle doors can also be locked by using the lock
button located on the vehicle’s interior door panel.

To Unlock/Enter The Liftgate

The liftgate passive entry unlock feature is built into the
electronic liftgate 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.
