Another proximity key question

[KRAWL AMERICA]

We have a 2018 JLU with remote start. Is there a setting so that when you approach the drivers door the lock unlocks automatically without touching anything as long as you have the key fob with you? We end up having to push the unlock button on the key f ob every time. Thanks guys!

You have to grab the door handle or at least get your fingers between the door and the handle.

Thanks Torero for your suggestion. We have tried that and every variation of that except maybe dancing around the jeep at the same time (haha) and nothing. No touch, no hover, no nothing is working.

Do you have the passive entry option on your Jeep? The exterior door handles will have small buttons if so.

This would allow you to unlock the door by grabbing the door handle as mentioned above.

If you have passive entry, does it work other times but just not when using remote start?

Thanks jeepster freak. i dont see any additional buttons on the handle. it has a lot of options and with remote start group which is really called cold weather group i think we assume it is included. heck almost every car does it now days and has for years. we were thinking it might be a setting in the uconnect or something. thanks

Sounds like your Jeep doesn’t have it. It’s not standard or part of the cold weather group.

That sure seems strange when we have all that other options stuff. thanks for your help marky3130.

The small button is used to lock the doors and would look like this.
