Jeep Wrangler: DOORS / Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry (If Equipped)
The Passive Entry system is a feature that
allows you to lock and unlock the vehicle’s
door(s) and swing gate without having to push
the key fob lock or unlock buttons.
NOTE:
- Passive Entry may be programmed on/off
within the Uconnect Settings.
- The key fob may not be detected by the
vehicle Passive Entry system if it is located
next to a mobile phone, laptop, or other electronic
device; these devices may interfere
with the key fob’s wireless signal and prevent
the Passive Entry system from locking/
unlocking the vehicle.
- Passive Entry Unlock initiates illuminated
approach (low beams, license plate lamp,
position lamps) for whichever time duration
is set between 0, 30, 60 or 90 seconds.
Passive Entry Unlock also initiates two
flashes of the turn signal lamps.
- If wearing gloves, or if it has been raining/
snowing on the Passive Entry door handle,
the unlock sensitivity can be affected,
resulting in a slower response time.
- If the vehicle is unlocked by Passive Entry
and no door is opened within 60 seconds, the
vehicle will re-lock and if equipped will arm
the Vehicle Security system.
The power door lock switch is located on each
front door panel. Push the switch forward to
unlock the doors, and rearward to lock the
doors.

How long does it take to sound my horn and
flash the lights? Depending on various
conditions, it can take three minutes or
more for the request to get through to your
vehicle.
Which is faster, my key fob or the Uconnect
App? Your key fob will sound the horn and
flash the lights quicker; however, its range
is limited...
