General Information

The following regulatory statement applies to all Radio

Frequency (RF) devices equipped in this vehicle:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and

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
2. This device must accept any interference received, in-

cluding interference that may cause undesired opera-

tion.

NOTE:

Changes or modifications not expressly approved

by the party responsible for compliance could void the

SENTRY KEY

The Sentry Key Immobilizer system prevents unauthorized

operation by disabling the vehicle. 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 the key fob to prevent unauthorized

vehicle operation. Therefore, only key fobs that are pro-

grammed to the vehicle can be used to start and operate the

vehicle. The system will shut the engine off in two seconds

if an invalid key fob is used to start the engine.
After turning the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position,

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.

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.
