2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Owners Manual - IGNITION SWITCH

IGNITION SWITCH

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 compartment.

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:

If the ignition switch does not change with the push of a button, the key fob may have a low or depleted battery. In this situation, a back up method can be used to operate the ignition switch. Put the nose side (side opposite of the emer- gency key) of the key fob against the START/STOP ignition button and push to operate the ignition switch.
