Starting the new Wagoneer line of vehicles, place the “nose” side (side opposite of the mechanical key – its very sensitive to this) of the Key Fob against the Start / Stop ignition button (right) and push to operate the ignition switch.
Note: If you have made an attempt to start the vehicle without success, there may be residual pressure in the brake system and a new warning light may appear (left) or text message to Step on the Brake. Press the brake pedal very, very hard when trying to start the vehicle again to be sure that the release switch behind the pedal is engaged. Or wait a few minutes and try again.

Retrieving the mechanical key
To remove the emergency (mechanical) key from the key fob in new Wagoneer models look for a chrome button on the side, as denoted by the bottom arrow. Push it and pull on the key ring end, and the mechanical key is removed.
Getting Inside
New Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer models have their key holes hiding behind the driver’s door handle, as can be seen in the image to the right. It is exposed when the door handle is pulled to the open position. So, simply pull the door handle out as far as possible. Insert the mechanical key (it may be awkward to get at) and turn it to unlock. Remove the key blade and release the handle. Pull the handle once again and you are in the car.
