The following video tutorial will show you the steps to take to start a Jeep Cherokee when the remote control stops working. The first step is to remove the cover of the Start button located behind the steering wheel.

The button allows us to start the vehicle when the key is working perfectly, in fact on new Jeep models it is not necessary to insert the key into the ignition block but simply bring the remote control inside the vehicle. The second step is to insert the top part of the remote control into the small hole behind the button.

This way the vehicle will start and you will be able to reach your destination.
