GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

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 key fob also contains

an emergency 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 become depleted. 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.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

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 Radio Frequency (RF)

receiver to prevent unauthorized vehicle opera-

tion. 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 in the ON/RUN posi-

tion, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

the vehicle security alarm.



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 condi-

tions 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, 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 3 minutes, turn all of the

visual signals off after 15 additional minutes,

and then the vehicle security alarm will rearm

itself.

Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of Passive Entry

Key Fob In Vehicle:
To minimize the possibility of unintentionally

locking a Passive Entry key fob inside your

vehicle, the Passive Entry system is equipped

with an automatic door unlock feature which

will function if the ignition is OFF.
If one of the vehicle doors is open and the

vehicle is locked with a door panel switch, key

fob button or door handle button, once all open

doors have been closed the vehicle checks the

inside and outside of the vehicle for any valid

Passive Entry key fobs. If one of the vehicle's

Passive Entry key fobs is detected inside the

vehicle, and no other valid Passive Entry key

fobs are detected outside the vehicle, the

Passive Entry system automatically unlocks all

vehicle doors and chirps the horn three times

(on the third attempt, ALL doors will lock and the

Passive Entry key fob can be locked in the

vehicle).
To Enter The Liftgate:
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft

(1.5 m) of the liftgate, push the button under-

neath the left side of the accent bar, which is

located on the liftgate below the glass, to lock or

unlock the vehicle.

must wait two seconds before you can lock or

unlock the doors, using either Passive Entry

door handle. This is done to allow you to

check if the vehicle is locked by pulling the

door handle, without the vehicle reacting and

unlocking.

If Passive Entry is disabled using Uconnect

System, the key protection described in

"Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of Passive

Entry Key Fob In Vehicle" remains

active/functional.

The Passive Entry system will not operate if

the key fob battery is depleted.
