Jeep VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM Guide

The Vehicle Security system monitors the vehicle doors, hood, liftgate, and the Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ Ignition for unauthorized operation. While the Vehicle Security sys-tem is armed, interior switches for door locks and lift-gate release are disabled. If something triggers the sys-tem, the Vehicle Security system will provide the following audible and visible signals:

• The horn will pulse
• The turn signals will flash
• The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash

NOTE:

• The Vehicle Security system is factory-adjusted to standards from different countries.
• The Vehicle Security system is a complementary security system developed to hinder the occurrence of vehicle theft and prevent vandalism. It does not prevent the theft of your vehicle; the system is a deterrent.
• The Vehicle Security system does not monitor glass breakage or the movement of objects or people inside the vehicle. The alarm does not intervene in the case of vehicle tilt variations when it is parked.

TO ARM THE SYSTEM
Follow these steps to arm the Vehicle Security system:

1. 1. Make sure the vehicle’s ignition is placed in the OFF position.
   1. For vehicles equipped with Keyless Entry, make sure the vehicle’s keyless ignition system is OFF.
2. Perform one of the following methods to lock the vehicle:
   1. Push the lock button on the interior power door lock switch with the driver and/or passenger door open.
   2. Push the lock button on the exterior Passive Entry door handle with a valid key fob available in the same exterior zone page 21.
   3. Push the lock button on the key fob.
3. If any doors are open, close them.

When the Vehicle Security system is armed, the Vehicle Security Light (located in the lower left portion of the instrument cluster display) will begin to flash every three seconds until it is disarmed.\

NOTE:
If the system is armed by pushing the lock button on the interior door panel, the Vehicle Security Light will flash rapidly for about 15 seconds once the door is closed, then slow down to every three seconds.

TO DISARM THE SYSTEM
The Vehicle Security system can be disarmed using any of the following methods:

• Push the unlock button on the key fob.
• Grab the Passive Entry door handle to unlock the door on page 21.
• Cycle the ignition out of the OFF position to disarm the system.
• The driver’s door key cylinder and the liftgate button on the key fob cannot arm or disarm the Vehicle Security system.
• The Vehicle Security system remains armed during power liftgate entry. Pushing the liftgate button will not disarm the Vehicle Security system. If someone enters the vehicle through the opened liftgate and then opens any door, the alarm will sound.
• When the Vehicle Security system is armed, the interior power door lock switches will not unlock the doors.

The Vehicle Security system 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 system will arm regardless of whether you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle and open the door, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security system.
If the Vehicle Security system is armed and the battery becomes disconnected, the Vehicle Security system 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 system.

REARMING OF THE SYSTEM
If something triggers the alarm, and no action is taken to disarm it, the Vehicle Security system will turn the horn off after approximately 90 seconds, and then the Vehicle Security system will rearm itself.

SECURITY SYSTEM MANUAL OVERRIDE
The Vehicle Security system will not arm if you lock the doors using the manual door lock.

DOORS

MANUAL DOOR LOCKS
The door locks can be manually locked from inside the vehicle by using the door lock knob.
To lock each door, rotate the door lock knob on each door trim panel forward until the lock indicator is shown. To unlock the front doors, pull the inside door handle to the first detent or rotate the door lock button until the lock indicator is hidden. To unlock the rear doors, rotate the door lock button until the lock indicator is hidden. If the door lock button is locked (lock indi-cator visible) when you shut the door, the door will remain locked. Therefore, make sure the key fob is not inside the vehicle before closing the door.

• Manually locking the vehicle will not arm the Vehicle Security system.
• The manual door locks will not lock or unlock the liftgate.

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 exit the vehicle.
• When exiting the vehicle, always remove the key fob from the vehicle and lock your vehicle.
  If equipped with a Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ Ignition, always make sure the keyless ignition is in the OFF position, remove the key fob from the vehicle and lock the vehicle. Unsupervised use of vehicle equipment may cause severe personal injuries or death.
• 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 several 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. Do not leave the Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ Ignition in the ON/RUN position. A child could operate power windows, and 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 and liftgate.
If you push the power door lock switch while the ignition is in the ON/RUN position, and any door or the liftgate is open, the power locks will not operate. This prevents you from accidentally locking the key fob in the vehicle. Placing the ignition in the OFF position or closing the doors and liftgate will allow the locks to operate.

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) without having to push the key fob lock or unlock buttons.

NOTE:

• Passive Entry may be programmed on/off through Uconnect Settings page 133.
• The key fob may not detect the 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 and unlocking the vehicle.
• If wearing gloves, if it has been raining/snowing, or if salt/dirt is covering the Passive Entry door handle, the unlock sensitivity can be affected, resulting in a slower response time.
• The doors may 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.
• If the vehicle is unlocked by Passive Entry and no door is opened within 60 seconds, the vehicle will relock and, if equipped, will arm the Vehicle Security system.

To Unlock From The Driver’s Side Or Passenger’s Side
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of either front door handle, grab the door handle to unlock the door automatically.

• Either the driver door only or all doors will unlock when you grab hold of the front driver’s door handle, depending on the selected setting in the Uconnect system page 133.
• All doors and the liftgate will unlock when the front passenger door handle is grabbed regardless of the driver’s door unlock preference setting.

Frequency Operated Button Integrated Key (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.
Three situations 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 detects a Passive Entry key fob inside the vehicle and it does not detect 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.
• Three attempts are made to lock the doors using the door panel switch and then the doors are closed.
• There is a valid Passive Entry key fob outside the vehicle and within 5 ft (1.5 m) of either Passive Entry door handle.

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 either front door handle, push the Passive Entry lock button located on the outside door handle to lock the vehicle doors and liftgate.

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 unlocking.
• If Passive Entry is disabled using the Uconnect set-tings, the key fob protection described in “Frequency Operated Button Integrated Key (FOBIK-Safe)” remains active/functional.
• The Passive Entry system will not operate if the key fob battery is depleted.

To Unlock/Enter The Liftgate
The liftgate Passive Entry unlock feature is built into the electronic liftgate release handle. With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the liftgate, push the electronic liftgate release handle to open.

AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS — IF EQUIPPED
The auto door lock feature default condition is enabled. When enabled, the door locks will lock automatically when the vehicle speed exceeds 15 mph (24 km/h). The auto door lock feature is enabled or disabled by an authorized dealer per the written request of the customer. Please see an authorized dealer for service.

AUTOMATIC UNLOCK DOORS ON EXIT
The doors will unlock automatically on vehicles with power door locks if:

1. The Automatic Unlock Doors On Exit feature is enabled.
2. All doors are closed.
3. The gear selector was not in PARK, then is placed in PARK.
4. Any door is opened.

CHILD-PROTECTION DOOR LOCK SYSTEM — REAR DOORS
To provide a safer environment for small children 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 position. 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.

NOTE:

• When the Child-Protection Door Lock system is engaged, the door can be opened only by using the outside door handle even though the inside door lock is in the unlocked position.
• After disengaging the Child-Protection Door Lock system, always test the door from the inside to make certain it is in the desired position.
• After engaging the Child-Protection Door Lock sys-tem, always test the door from the inside to make certain it is in the desired position.
• For an emergency exit with the system engaged, rotate the door lock button until the lock indicator is hidden (unlocked position), roll down the window, and open the door with the outside door handle.

WARNING!
Avoid trapping anyone in a vehicle in a collision. Remember that the rear doors can only be opened from the outside when the Child-Protection locks are engaged (locked).

NOTE:
Always use this device when carrying children. After engaging the child lock on both rear doors, check for effective engagement by trying to open a door with the internal handle. Once the Child-Protection Door Lock system is engaged, it is impossible to open the doors from inside the vehicle. Before getting out of the vehicle, be sure to check that there is no one left inside.
