Hi, my name is Devin. I am an auto repair expert with the Car Genius team here at RepairPal. I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your Cherokee. Your Cherokee is designed to prevent locking the key fob inside the car using proximity sensors. If the key is detected inside when you try locking the doors, the vehicle should either unlock automatically or sound a warning. However, if the battery in the fob is weak, the system may not detect it correctly. To avoid this, ensure the key fob battery is in good condition. There is no setting to override this safety feature, as it's meant to prevent accidental lockouts. If you need more advice, have any other questions about your vehicle, or would like to get connected to a RepairPal Certified shop near you, we have you covered.
