All of the key fobs provided with
your new car have been programmed
according to the car electronics.
Irregular operation
If, during starting, the key fob code is
not correctly recognized, the
symbol
is displayed on the instrument panel (see
the instructions in the "Indicator lights
and messages" chapter in the "Knowing
the instrument panel" section). This
condition will result in the engine being
shut off after 2 seconds. In this case,
bring the ignition device to STOP and
then to RUN; 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

voltage drop). If the displaying is still on,
contact a Jeep Dealership.
