Jeep Cherokee (KL): Illuminated entry

The courtesy lights will turn on when you use the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter to unlock the doors or open any door.

This feature also turns on the approach lighting in the outside mirrors - if equipped. Refer to "Mirrors" in "Understanding The Features Of Your Vehicle" for further information.

The lights will fade to off after approximately 30 seconds, or they will immediately fade to off once the ignition switch is turned to ON/RUN from the OFF position.

NOTE:

  • The front courtesy overhead console and door courtesy lights do not turn on if the dimmer control is in the "Dome defeat" position (extreme bottom position).
  • The Illuminated Entry system will not operate if the dimmer control is in the "Dome defeat" position (extreme bottom position).
