Door lock automatically without remote?
Hi,
I just bought a 2014 Cherokee with passive keyless entry. The doors are unlocked by just grabbing the door handle, but when I leave the car do the doors lock automatically as well (e.g. when the system senses that the remote key is no longer in range)?
I think it does but I don't hear the beep warnings or see the lights flashing, like when I lock the doors using the remote key.

No, you have to press the black button in the driver/passenger door handle or the smaller of the two rubber cover button on the bottom edge of the lift gate and the fob lock button.

I would recommend sourcing your owner's manual. You can locate one via http://www.jeep.com/en/owners/manuals/l. Thanks! - Kevin T, Social Connect Team

This is a great feature, and I can't tell you how many times the tiny lift-gate lock button been useful. I've surprised a couple KL owners who didn't know what this was, and a few non-Jeep owners have expressed jealousy about being able to lock the vehicle quickly after getting something out of the back.
