7)On versions equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go system, do not leave the
electronic key inside or near the vehicle or
in a place accessible to children. Do not
leave the vehicle with the ignition device in
the MAR position. A child could operate
the electric windows, other controls or
even start the vehicle.SENTRY KEY®
TheSentry Key® system, prevents
unauthorised use of the vehicle, disa-
bling engine starting.
The system does not need to be
enabled/activated: operation is
automatic, regardless of the fact that
the vehicle's doors are locked or
unlocked.
When the ignition device is taken to
MAR, theSentry Key® system identi-
fies the code transmitted by the key. If
the code is recognised as valid, the
Sentry Key® system enables engine
starting.
When the ignition device is brought
back to STOP, theSentry Key® sys-
tem deactivates the control unit control-
ling the engine, thus preventing its
starting.
For the correct engine starting
procedures, see the instructions in the
"Starting the engine" paragraph,
"Starting and driving" chapter.
IRREGULAR OPERATION
If, during starting, the key code is not
correctly recognised, the
icon is
displayed on the instrument panel (see
the instructions in the "Warning lights
and messages" paragraph, "Knowing
the instrument panel" chapter). This
condition leads to the engine switching
off after 2 seconds. In this case, bring
the ignition device to STOP and then to
MAR; if it is still blocked, try with the
other keys provided. If it is still not
possible to start the engine, contact a
Jeep Dealership.
If the
icon is displayed while driving,
this means that the system is running
a self-diagnosis (e.g. due to a voltage
drop). If the displaying is still on,
contact a Jeep Dealership.
