SENTRY KEYThe Sentry Key Immobilizer system preventsunauthorized vehicle operation by disabling theengine. The system does not need to be armedor activated. Operation is automatic, regardlessof whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked.

The system uses a key fob, keyless push buttonignition and a RF receiver to prevent unauthor-ized vehicle operation. Therefore, only key fobsthat are programmed to the vehicle can be usedto start and operate the vehicle. The systemcannot reprogram a key fob obtained from an-other vehicle.

After turning the ignition switch to the ON/RUNposition, the vehicle security light will turn on forthree seconds for a bulb check. If the lightremains on after the bulb check, it indicates thatthere is a problem with the electronics. In addi-tion, if the light begins to flash after the bulbcheck, it indicates that someone attempted tostart the engine with an invalid key fob. In theevent that a valid key fob is used to start theengine but there is an issue with the vehicleelectronics, the engine will start and shut offafter two seconds.

If the vehicle security light turns on duringnormal vehicle operation (vehicle running forlonger than ten seconds), it indicates that thereis a fault in the electronics. Should this occur,have the vehicle serviced as soon as possibleby an authorized dealer.

CAUTION!

The Sentry Key Immobilizer system is notcompatible with some aftermarket remotestarting systems. Use of these systems mayresult in vehicle starting problems and loss ofsecurity protection.

All of the key fobs provided with your newvehicle have been programmed to the vehicleelectronics.

Key ProgrammingProgramming key fobs may be performed at anauthorized dealer.

Replacement KeysNOTE:Only key fobs that are programmed to thevehicle electronics can be used to start andoperate the vehicle. Once a key fob is pro-grammed to a vehicle, it cannot be programmedto any other vehicle.

CAUTION!

• Always remove the key fobs from the ve-hicle and lock all doors when leaving thevehicle unattended.

• For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go — Ignition, always remember toplace the ignition in the OFF position.

24

NOTE:Duplication of key fobs may be performed at anauthorized dealer. This procedure consists ofprogramming a blank key fob to the vehicleelectronics. A blank key fob is one that hasnever been programmed.

When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer Sys-tem serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you toan authorized dealer.
