Listen carefully for a chime sound; this chime indicates that your Jeep Liberty has successfully entered the remote programming mode. Allow up to 3 seconds for the chime to sound.
-
Program New Remote: Within 30 seconds of hearing the chime, take the new key fob you wish to program. Press and release both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on this new remote at the same time.
