Jeep Wrangler: VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED / To Disarm The System
The Vehicle Security system can be disarmed
using any of the following methods:
- Push the unlock button on the key fob.
- Grab the Passive Entry door handle (if
equipped).
- Cycle the vehicle ignition system out of the
OFF position.
NOTE:
- The driver's door key cylinder cannot arm or
disarm the Vehicle Security system.
- When the Vehicle Security system is armed,
the interior power door lock switches will not
unlock the doors.
The Vehicle Security system is designed to
protect your vehicle. However, you can create
conditions where the system will give you a false
alarm. If one of the previously described arming
sequences has occurred, the Vehicle Security
system will arm regardless of whether you are in
the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle
and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security system.
If the Vehicle Security system is armed and the
battery becomes disconnected, the Vehicle
Security system will remain armed when the
battery is reconnected; the exterior lights will
flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs,
disarm the Vehicle Security system.
Rearming Of The System
If something triggers the alarm, and no action is
taken to disarm it, the Vehicle Security system
will turn the horn off after 29 seconds,
5 seconds between cycles, up to 8 cycles if the
trigger remains active and then the Vehicle
Security system will rearm itself.
Follow these steps to arm the Vehicle Security
system:
Make sure the vehicle’s ignition is placed
in the OFF position.
Perform one of the following methods to
lock the vehicle:
Push lock on the interior power door lock
switch with the driver and/or passenger
door open...
Other information:
After full load operation, idle the engine for a
few minutes before shutting it down. This idle
period will allow the lubricating oil and coolant
to carry excess heat away from the
turbocharger.
NOTE:
Refer to the following chart for proper engine
shutdown...
FCA US LLC recommends towing with all wheels
OFF the ground. Acceptable methods are to tow
the vehicle on a flatbed or with one end of the
vehicle raised and the opposite end on a towing
dolly.
If flatbed equipment is not available and the
transfer case is operable, the vehicle may be
towed (in the forward direction, with ALL wheels
on the ground), IF the transfer case is in
NEUTRAL (N) and the transmission is in PARK
(P) (for automatic transmissions) or in gear NOT
in NEUTRAL, for manual transmissions)...
