with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and

cluding interference that may cause undesired opera-
tion.

NOTE:

Changes or modifications not expressly approved

SENTRY KEY

The Sentry Key Immobilizer system prevents unauthorized
vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The system does
not need to be armed or activated. Operation is automatic,
regardless of whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked.

The system uses a key fob and a Keyless Push Button
Ignition, and a RF receiver to prevent unauthorized vehicle
operation. Therefore, only key fobs that are programmed to
the vehicle can be used to start and operate the vehicle. If
an invalid key fob is used to attempt to start and operate
the vehicle, the system will not allow the engine to crank.
If an invalid key fob is used to start the engine, the system
will shut the engine off in two seconds.

After placing the ignition to the ON/RUN mode, the
vehicle security light will turn on for three seconds for a
bulb check. If the light remains on after the bulb check, it
indicates that there is a problem with the electronics. In
addition, if the light begins to flash after the bulb check, it
indicates that someone used an invalid key fob to start the
engine. Either of these conditions will result in the engine
being shut off after two seconds.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

If the vehicle security light turns on during normal vehicle
operation (vehicle running for longer than 10 seconds), it
indicates that there is a fault in the electronics. Should this
occur, have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible by an
authorized dealer.

CAUTION!

The Sentry Key Immobilizer system is not compatible
with some aftermarket remote starting systems. Use of
these systems may result in vehicle starting problems
and loss of security protection.

All of the key fobs provided with your new vehicle have
been programmed to the vehicle electronics.

Key Programming

Programming key fobs may be performed at an authorized
dealer.

Replacement Keys

NOTE:

Only key fobs that are programmed to the vehicle

electronics can be used to start and operate the vehicle.
Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be
programmed to any other vehicle.

CAUTION!

• Always remove the key fobs from the vehicle and

lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.

• For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go —

Ignition, always remember to place the ignition in
the OFF position.

NOTE:

Duplication of key fobs may be performed at an

authorized dealer. This procedure consists of programming
a blank key fob to the vehicle electronics. A blank key fob
is one that has never been programmed.

When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer System serviced,
bring all vehicle keys with you to an authorized dealer.

VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM — IF EQUIPPED

The vehicle security alarm monitors the vehicle doors for
unauthorized entry and the Keyless Enter-N-Go — Ignition
for unauthorized operation. While the vehicle security
alarm is armed, interior switches for door locks and liftgate
release are disabled. If something triggers the alarm, the
vehicle security alarm will provide the following audible
and visible signals: the horn will pulse, the park lamps
and/or turn signals will flash, and the vehicle security light
in the instrument cluster will flash.

To Arm The System

Follow these steps to arm the vehicle security alarm:

1. Make sure the vehicle’s ignition is placed in the OFF

mode. Refer to

⬙Ignition Switch⬙ in “Getting To Know

Your Vehicle” for further information.

2. Perform one of the following methods to lock the

vehicle:

• Push lock on the interior power door lock switch with

the driver and/or passenger door open.

• Push the lock button on the exterior Passive Entry

Door Handle with a valid key fob available in the same
exterior zone (refer to

⬙Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive

Entry,

⬙ located in “Doors” in “Getting To Know Your

Vehicle

⬙ for further information).

• Push the lock button on the key fob.

3. If any doors are open, close them.

NOTE: Security System Manual Override

The vehicle security alarm will not arm if you lock the
doors using the manual door lock plunger.

To Disarm The System

The vehicle security alarm can be disarmed using any of
the following methods:
• Push the unlock button on the key fob.
• Grasp the passive entry unlock door handle (if

equipped, refer to

⬙Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive En-

try

⬙ located in “Doors” in “Getting To Know Your

Vehicle

⬙ for further information).

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

• Cycle the vehicle ignition system out of the OFF posi-

tion.

• For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go —

Passive Entry, push the keyless ignition button (re-
quires at least one valid key fob in the vehicle).

• For vehicles not equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go —

Passive Entry, insert a valid key into the ignition and
turn the key to the ON position.

NOTE:
• The driver’s door key cylinder and the liftgate button on

the key fob cannot arm or disarm the vehicle security
alarm.

• The vehicle security alarm remains armed during power

liftgate entry. Pushing the liftgate button will not disarm
the vehicle security alarm. If someone enters the vehicle
through the liftgate and opens any door, the alarm will
sound.

• When the vehicle security alarm is armed, the interior

power door lock switches will not unlock the doors.

The vehicle security alarm is designed to protect your
vehicle. However, you can create conditions where the
system will give you a false alarm. If one of the previously
described arming sequences has occurred, the vehicle

security alarm will arm regardless of whether you are in
the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle and open a
door, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the
vehicle security alarm.

If the vehicle security alarm is armed and the battery
becomes disconnected, the vehicle security alarm will
remain armed when the battery is reconnected; the exterior
lights will flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs,
disarm the vehicle security alarm.

Rearming Of The System

If something triggers the alarm, and no action is taken to
disarm it, the vehicle security alarm will turn the horn off
after 29 seconds, five seconds between cycles, up to eight
cycles if the trigger remains active and the vehicle security
alarm will rearm itself.

Tamper Alert

If something has triggered the vehicle security alarm in
your absence, the horn will sound three times and the
exterior lights will blink three times when you disarm the
vehicle security alarm. Check the vehicle for tampering.
