Thanks, I will verify that the 2013 GCO doesn't have a steering wheel lock when the "key" is out of the ignition; if that is true for the 2013 then I am good to go! I shouldn't have any battery drain based on the ability to turn the ignition off and remove the key.

May I ask a follow-on Questions about towing the Jeep Grand Cherokee (Overland)? Just bought it and it is all configured to tow. I ran into the same problem as the original questioner, but my desire is to understand whether in the Keyless Enter-N-Go version, the Key Fob remains in the ignition or is removed. The OM and UG are in direct contradiction to each other. As you have found out, the dealership service department knows nothing and Customer Service was clueless. So this is what I need clarification on from Frank who has towed a Jeep GC for 6K miles. My issue is not about the battery disconnect but about the position of the ignition and whether the "key" remains in the ignition or can be removed. 1. Transfer case in Neutral - no questions 2. Battery disconnect - no questions. 3. Position of transmission selector - no questions Position of the ignition and location of the key fob when the procedures are done? FYI: There are new versions of the Owners Manual and User Guide for 2013 on the Jeep Web site for download. 5th version and 4th version respectively. There have been some updated material added. But the instructions for tow preparation remain in conflict. Cathe US Navy (Ret) ALFA See Ya GOLD 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland
