2009 JEEP LIBERTY alarm

The PANIC Alarm will stay on for three minutes unless
you turn it off by pressing the PANIC button a second
time or if the vehicle speed is 5 mph (8 km/h) or greater.
During the PANIC Mode, the door locks and Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) system will function normally.
PANIC mode will not disarm the Security System on
vehicles so equipped.
NOTE:You may need to be close to the vehicle when
using the RKE transmitter to turn off the PANIC Alarm
due to the radio frequency noises emitted by the system.

Refer to Sentry Key “Customer Key Programming.”
If you do not have a programmed RKE transmitter,
contact your authorized dealer for details.

before you can repeat the start sequence for a third
cycle.

Start request.

Before the end of the 15-minute cycle, press and release
the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter to unlock
the doors and disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm (if
equipped). Then, insert the key into the ignition switch
and turn the switch to the ON position.
NOTE: The ignition switch must be in the ON position
