2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Owners Manual - IGNITION SWITCH

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 compartment.

The START/STOP ignition button has several operating modes that are labeled and will illuminate when in position. These modes are OFF, ACC, ON/RUN, and START.

1. OFF
2. ACC
3. ON/RUN

The push button ignition can be placed in the following modes:

OFF

• The engine is stopped
• Some electrical devices (e.g. central locking, alarm, etc.) are still available

ACC

• Engine is not started
• Some electrical devices are available (e.g. power windows)

ON/RUN

• Driving position
• All the electrical devices are available (e.g. climate controls, etc.)

START

• The engine will start (when foot is on the brake pedal)

NOTE:

If the ignition switch does not change the mode by pushing the 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 emergency key) of the key fob against the START/STOP ignition button and push to operate the ignition switch.

NOTE:

• When opening the driver's door with the igni- tion in ON/RUN (engine not running), a chime will sound to remind you to place the ignition in the OFF position. In addition to the chime, the message will display “Ignition Or Acces- sory On” in the cluster.
