5)Never extract the mechanical key while
the vehicle is moving. The steering wheel
will automatically lock as soon as it is
turned. This holds true for cars being
towed as well.
6)Before leaving the vehicle, ALWAYS
engage the handbrake. On versions
equipped with automatic transmission,
move the gear lever to STOP (Park) and
press the ignition device to set it to STOP.
When leaving the vehicle, always lock all
the doors by pressing the button on the
handle.
7)For versions equipped with the Keyless
Enter-N-Go system, do not leave the
electronic key inside or near the car or in
a place accessible to children. Do not
leave the vehicle with the ignition device
in MAR position. A child could activate
the electric window winders, other
controls or even start the vehicle.SENTRY KEY®
TheSentry Key®system, prevents
unauthorised use of the vehicle,
disabling 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 identifies
the code transmitted by the key. If the
code is recognised as valid, theSentry
Key®system enables engine starting.
When the ignition device is brought back
to STOP, theSentry Key®system
deactivates the control unit controlling
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, bringthe 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.

WARNING
18)As the driver's door mirror is curved, it
may slightly alter the perception of
distance.
