KEYS

Key Fob

Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system. The ignition
system consists of a key fob with Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) and a START/STOP push button ignition system.
The Remote Keyless Entry system consists of a key fob and
Keyless Enter-N-Go feature if equipped.

NOTE:

The key fob may not be found if it is located next to

a mobile phone, laptop or other electronic device; these
devices may block the key fob’s wireless signal.

The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) key fob and an emer-
gency key, which stores in the rear of the key fob.

The emergency key allows for entry into the vehicle should
the battery in the vehicle or the key fob go dead. The
emergency key is also for locking the glove compartment.
You can keep the emergency key with you when valet
parking.

To remove the emergency key, slide the mechanical latch
on the back of the key fob sideways with your thumb and
then pull the key out with your other hand.

NOTE:

You can insert the double-sided emergency key

into the lock cylinders with either side up.

The Remote Keyless Entry system allows you to lock or
unlock the doors, open the liftgate, or activate the Panic
Alarm from distances up to approximately 66 ft (20 m)
using a hand-held key fob with key fob. The key fob does
not need to be pointed at the vehicle to activate the system.

NOTE:

Driving at speeds 5 MPH (8 km/h) and above

disables the system from responding to all key fob buttons
for all key fobs.

Backup Starting Method

In case the ignition switch does not change with the push
of a button, the key fob may have a low or fully depleted

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.

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.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

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.
