2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Owners Manual - REMOTE STARTING SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED



REMOTE STARTING SYSTEM — 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 328 ft (100 m).

Push Remote Start button on the key fob twice within five seconds. Pushing the Remote Start button a third time shuts the engine off.

With remote start, the engine will only run for 15 minutes (time out) unless the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position.

The vehicle must be manually started with a push of the ignition START/STOP button after two consecutive time outs.

All of the following conditions must be met before the engine will remote start:

    Gear Selector in PARK
    Doors closed
    Hood closed
    Liftgate closed
    Hazard switch off
    Brake switch inactive (brake pedal not pushed)
    Battery at an acceptable charge level
    PANIC button not pushed
    System not disabled from previous remote start event
    Vehicle alarm system indicator flashing
    Ignition in STOP/OFF position
    Fuel level meets minimum requirement 3

The following messages will display in the instrument cluster display if the vehicle fails to remote start or exits remote start prematurely:

    Remote Start Cancelled — Door Open
    Remote Start Cancelled — Hood Open
    Remote Start Cancelled — Fuel Low
    Remote Start Aborted Timer Expired
    Remote Start Aborted Liftgate Open
    Remote Start Disabled — Start Vehicle To Reset

The instrument cluster display message stays active until the ignition is turned to the ON/RUN position.

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 igni- tion must be placed in the ON/RUN position before you can repeat the start sequence for a third cycle.

Push and release the Remote Start button one time or allow the remote start cycle to complete the entire 15-minute cycle.

NOTE: To avoid unintentional shutdowns, the system will disable the one time push of the Remote Start button for two seconds after receiving a valid Remote Start request.

Before the end of 15-minute cycle, push and release the unlock button on the key fob to unlock the doors, or unlock the vehicle using Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry via the door handles, and disarm the vehicle security alarm (if equipped). Then, prior to the end of the 15-minute cycle, push and release the START/STOP button.

NOTE: For vehicles equipped with the Keyless Enter- N-Go — Passive Entry feature, the message “Remote Start Active — Push Start Button” will display in the instrument cluster display until you push the ignition START button.
