2020 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).

The Remote Starting system also activates the Climate Control, vented seats (if equipped) in temperatures above 80°F (26.7°C), the optional heated seats, and optional heated steering wheel in temperatures below 40°F (4.4°C). Refer to “Seats” in this chapter for further information.

NOTE:

The vehicle must be equipped with an automatic transmis- sion to be equipped with Remote Start.

Obstructions between the vehicle and key fob may reduce this range.

(Continued)

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 START/STOP ignition 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

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 placed in 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 ignition 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 for two seconds after receiving a valid Remote Start request.

Before the end of the 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 ignition 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 START/STOP ignition button.

When remote start is activated, the heated steering wheel and driver heated seat features will automatically turn on in cold weather. In warm weather, the driver vented seat feature will automatically turn on when the remote start is activated. These features will stay on through the duration of remote start or until the ignition switch is placed in the ON/ RUN position.

NOTE:

The Auto Comfort system can be activated and deactivated through the Uconnect system. For more information on

Comfort System operation, refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further information.
