HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

Essential Information

Consult the Table of Contents to determine

which section contains the information you

desire.

Since the specification of your vehicle de-

pends on the items of equipment ordered,

certain descriptions and illustrations may dif-

fer from your vehicle's equipment.

The detailed index at the back of this Owner's

Manual contains a complete listing of all sub-

jects.

Symbols

Some vehicle components have colored la-

bels whose symbols indicate precautions to

be observed when using this component.

Refer to “Warning Lights and Messages” in

“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” for

further information on the symbols used in

your vehicle.

ROLLOVER WARNING

Utility vehicles have a significantly higher

rollover rate than other types of vehicles. This

vehicle has a higher ground clearance and a

higher center of gravity than many passenger

vehicles. It is capable of performing better in

a wide variety of off-road applications. Driven

in an unsafe manner, all vehicles can go out

of control. Because of the higher center of

gravity, if this vehicle is out of control it may

roll over when some other vehicles may not.

Do not attempt sharp turns, abrupt maneu-

vers, or other unsafe driving actions that can

cause loss of vehicle control. Failure to oper-

ate this vehicle safely may result in a colli-

sion, rollover of the vehicle, and severe or

fatal injury. Drive carefully.

Failure to use the driver and passenger seat

belts provided is a major cause of severe or

fatal injury. In a rollover crash, an unbelted

person is significantly more likely to die than a

person wearing a seat belt. Always buckle up.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

This User Guide contains WARNINGS against

operating procedures that could result in a

collision, bodily injury and/or death. It also

contains CAUTIONS against procedures that

could result in damage to your vehicle. If you

do not read this entire guide, you may miss

important information. Observe all Warnings

and Cautions.

KEYS

Key Fob

WARNING!

Push the Mechanical Key Release Button

only with the key fob facing away from your

body, especially your eyes and objects that

may be damaged, such as clothing.

Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system.

The ignition system consists of a key fob with

Keyless Go and a START/STOP push button

ignition system. The Remote Keyless Entry

system consists of a key fob with a mechani-

cal key and Keyless Enter-N-Go feature if

equipped.

NOTE:

The key fob may not be detected by the

vehicle if it is located next to a mobile phone,

laptop or other electronic device; these de-

vices may block the key fob’s wireless signal.

CAUTION!

The electrical components inside of the

key fob may be damaged if the key fob is

subjected to strong electrical shocks. In

order to ensure complete efficiency of the

CAUTION!

electronic devices inside of the key fob,

avoid exposing the key fob to direct sun-

light.

The key fob allows you to lock or unlock the

doors and swing gate from distances up to

approximately 66 ft (20 m) by pressing the

appropriate button on the fob. The key fob

does not need to be pointed at the vehicle to

activate the system.

NOTE:

With the ignition in ON/RUN position and

with the vehicle doors open, the lock button

will be disabled, and only the unlock button

will be enabled. All RKE commands will be

disabled once the vehicle begins moving at

3.1 mph (5 km/h) or above.

Backup Mode Starting

In case the ignition switch does not change

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 direc-

tions to follow.

Key Fob

1 — Key Release Button

2 — Unlock Button

3 — Lock Button

4 — Remote Start

13

NOTE:

A low key fob battery condition may be indi-

cated 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

from key fob button pushes, then the key fob

battery requires replacement.

In this situation, a back up method can be

used to operate the ignition switch. Put the

nose side of the key fob against the ENGINE

START/STOP button, and push to operate the

ignition switch.

NOTE:

Improper disposal of key fob batteries may be

harmful to the environment. Please see an

authorized dealer for proper battery disposal.

To Unlock The Doors And Swing Gate

Push and release the key fob unlock button

once to unlock the driver's door only, or twice

to unlock all the doors and swing gate. When

the key fob unlock button is pushed, the

Illuminated Entry will initiate, and the turn

signal lights will flash twice.

To Lock The Doors And Swing Gate

Push and release the lock button on the key

fob to lock all doors. The turn signals will

flash, and the horn will chirp once to ac-

knowledge the lock signal.

Request For Additional Key Fobs

NOTE:

Only key fobs that are programmed to the

vehicle electronics can be used to start and

operate the vehicle. Once a key fob is pro-

grammed to a vehicle, it cannot be pro-

grammed to any other vehicle.

WARNING!

• Always remove the key fobs from the

vehicle and lock all doors when leaving

the vehicle unattended.

• Always remember 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

System serviced, bring all vehicle keys with

you to an authorized dealer.

• Keys must be ordered to the correct key cut

to match the vehicle locks.

IGNITION SWITCH

Keyless Enter-N-Go — Ignition

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 Keyless Push Button Ignition has several

operating modes that are labeled and will

illuminate when in position. These modes are

OFF, ACC, RUN, and START.

NOTE:

In case 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

ignition switch. Put the nose side of the key

fob (side opposite of the Emergency Key)

against the ENGINE START/STOP button and

push to operate the ignition switch.

The push button ignition can be placed in the

following modes:

OFF

• The engine is stopped.

• Some electrical devices (e.g. Central lock-

ing, alarm, etc.) are available.

ACC

• Engine is not started.

• Some electrical devices are available.

RUN

• Driving position.

• All electrical devices are available.

START

• The engine will start.

WARNING!

• When exiting the vehicle, always 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 children to be in a vehicle un-

attended is dangerous for a number of

reasons. A child or others could be seri-

ously 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 ON/RUN mode. A child

could operate power windows, other con-

trols, or move the vehicle.

WARNING!

• Do not leave children or animals inside

parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior

heat build-up may cause serious injury

or death.

CAUTION!

An unlocked vehicle is an invitation for

thieves. Always remove key fob from the

vehicle and lock all doors when leaving the

vehicle unattended.

NOTE:

Refer to "Starting The Engine," in "Starting

And Operating" in the Owner’s Manual for

further information.

The Remote Starting System also activates the

Climate Control, vented seats (if equipped) in

temperatures above 80° F (26.7° C), and the

heated seats (if equipped), and heated steer-

ing wheel (if equipped) in temperatures below

40° F (4.4° C). Refer to “Heated Seats” in

“Getting To Know Your Vehicle” in the Owner’s

Manual for further information.

• The vehicle must be equipped with an

automatic transmission to be equipped

with Remote Start.

• Obstructions between the vehicle and key

fob may reduce this range.

twice within five seconds. Pushing the Re-

mote Start button a third time shuts the

engine off.

• To drive the vehicle, push unlock button,

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 Mon-

oxide is poisonous and can cause seri-

ous injury or death when inhaled.

• Keep key fobs away from children. Op-

eration of the Remote Start System,

windows, door locks or other controls

could cause serious injury or death.

To Enter Remote Start Mode

Push and release the Remote Start button on

the key fob twice within five seconds. The

vehicle doors will lock, the turn signals will

flash twice, and the horn will chirp twice.

Then the engine will start, and the vehicle

will remain in the Remote Start mode for a

15-minute cycle.

NOTE:

• If an engine fault is present or fuel level is

low, the vehicle will start and then shut

down in 10 seconds.

• The park lamps will turn on and remain on

during Remote Start mode.

• For security, power window operation is

disabled when the vehicle is in the Remote

Start mode.

• The engine can be started two consecutive

times (two 15-minute cycles) with the key

fob. However, the ignition must be placed

in the ON/RUN position before you can

repeat the start sequence for a third cycle.

VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM —

IF EQUIPPED

The vehicle security alarm monitors the ve-

hicle doors for unauthorized entry and the

ignition switch for unauthorized operation.

When the alarm is activated, the interior

switches for door locks are disabled. The

vehicle security alarm provides both audible

and visible signals. 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, and the vehicle security

light in the instrument cluster will flash.

To Arm The System

Follow these steps to arm the vehicle security

alarm:

1. Make sure the vehicle’s ignition is cycled

to the “OFF” position (refer to "Starting

The Engine" in "Starting And Operating"

for further information).

2. Perform one of the following methods to

lock the vehicle:

• Push lock on the interior power door

lock switch with the driver and/or pas-

senger door open.

• Push the lock button on the exterior

Passive Entry Door Handle with a valid

key fob available in the same exterior

zone (refer to "Keyless Enter-N-Go —

Passive Entry" in "Getting To Know Your

Vehicle" for further information).

• 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

(if equipped, refer to "Keyless Enter-N-Go —

Passive Entry" in "Getting To Know Your

Vehicle" for further information).

• Cycle the vehicle ignition system out of the

OFF position.

NOTE:

• The driver's door key cylinder cannot arm or

disarm the vehicle security alarm.

• 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 vehicle

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.

DOORS

CAUTION!

Careless handling and storage of the re-

movable door panels may damage the

seals, causing water to leak into the vehi-

cle’s interior.

Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry

(If Equipped)

The Passive Entry system is a feature that

allows you to lock and unlock the vehicle’s

door(s) and swing gate without having to push

the key fob lock or unlock buttons.

NOTE:

•

Passive Entry may be programmed ON/OFF;

refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multime-

dia” in your Owner’s Manual for further infor-

mation.

• 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 sec-

onds. 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.
