SYMBOLS KEY

If you do not read this entire Owner’s Manual, you may miss important

information. Observe all Cautions and Warnings.

ROLLOVER WARNING

Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other types of

vehicles. This vehicle has a higher ground clearance and a higher center of

gravity than many passenger vehicles. It is capable of performing better in a

wide variety of off-road applications. Driven in an unsafe manner, all vehicles

can go out of control. Because of the higher center of gravity, if this vehicle is

out of control it may roll over while some other vehicles may not.
Do not attempt sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers, or other unsafe driving actions

that can cause loss of vehicle control. Failure to operate this vehicle safely may

result in a collision, rollover of the vehicle, and severe or fatal injury. Drive

carefully.

Rollover Warning Label

Failure to use the driver and passenger seat belts provided is a major cause of

severe or fatal injury. In fact, the US government notes that the universal use

of existing seat belts could cut the highway death toll by 10,000 or more each

year and could reduce disabling injuries by two million annually. In a rollover

crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person

wearing a seat belt. Always buckle up.

WARNING!

These statements are against operating

procedures that could result in a collision, bodily

injury and/or death.

CAUTION!

These statements are against procedures that

could result in damage to your vehicle.

NOTE:

A suggestion which will improve installation,

operation, and reliability. If not followed, may

result in damage.

TIP:

OBS

Your vehicle is equipped with a keyless ignition

key fob.
The keyless ignition key fob supports Passive

Entry, Remote Keyless Entry (RKE), Keyless

Enter ‘n Go™ (if equipped), Remote Start

(if equipped), and remote power liftgate operation.

The keyless ignition key fob supports vehicles

equipped with a START/STOP ignition button.

The keyless ignition key fob also includes an

emergency key, which is stored in the rear of the

key fob.
The key fob allows you to lock or unlock the doors

and liftgate from distances up to approximately

66 ft (20 m). The key fob does not need to be

pointed at the vehicle to activate the system.

NOTE:



The key fob’s wireless signal may be blocked if

the key fob is located next to a mobile phone,

laptop, or other electronic device. This may

result in poor performance.



With the ignition on and the vehicle moving at

2 mph (4 km/h), all RKE commands are

disabled.

When the doors are unlocked, the turn signals will

flash and the illuminated entry system will be

activated. When the doors are locked, the turn

signals will flash and the horn will chirp.

Key Left Vehicle Feature

If a valid key fob is no longer detected inside the

vehicle while the vehicle’s ignition system is in the

ON/RUN or START position, the message “Key Left

Vehicle” will be shown in the instrument cluster

display along with an interior chime. An exterior

audible and visual alert will also be activated to

warn the driver.

The vehicle’s horn will rapidly chirp three times

along with a single flash of the vehicle’s exterior

lights.
NOTE:



The doors have to be open and then closed in

order for the vehicle to check for the presence of

a key fob; the Key Left Vehicle feature will not

activate until all of the doors are closed.



Programming And Requesting Additional

Key Fobs

Programming the key fob may be performed by an

authorized dealer.
NOTE:



Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, it

cannot be repurposed and reprogrammed to

another vehicle.



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.

WARNING!



The integrated key fob contains a coin cell

battery. Do not ingest the battery; there is a

chemical burn hazard. If the coin cell battery is

swallowed, it can cause severe internal burns

in just two hours and can lead to death.



If you think a battery may have been swal

-

lowed or placed inside any part of the body,

seek immediate medical attention.



Keep new and used batteries away from

children. If the battery compartment does not

close securely, stop using the product and

keep it away from children.

WARNING!



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.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

17

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.
NOTE:



When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer system

serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to an

authorized dealer.



Keys must be ordered to the correct key cut to

match the vehicle locks.

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, keyless push button

ignition and a Radio Frequency (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. The

system cannot reprogram a key fob obtained from

another vehicle.

After placing the ignition in 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 attempted to start the engine with

an invalid key fob. In the event that a valid key fob

is used to start the engine but there is an issue

with the vehicle electronics, the engine will start

and 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



Either the driver door only or all doors will unlock

when you grab hold of the front driver’s door

Frequency Operated Button Integrated Key

(FOBIK-Safe)
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 switch is in the OFF position.
There are three situations that trigger a

FOBIK-Safe search in any Passive Entry vehicle:



A lock request is made by a valid Passive Entry

key fob while a door is open.



A lock request is made by the Passive Entry door

handle while a door is open.



A lock request is made by the door panel switch

while the door is open.

When any of these situations occur, after all open

doors are shut, the FOBIK-Safe search will be

executed. If it detects a Passive Entry key fob

inside the vehicle and it does not detect any

Passive Entry key fobs outside the vehicle, then the

vehicle will unlock and alert the customer.
NOTE:

The vehicle will only unlock the doors when a valid

Passive Entry key fob is detected inside the

vehicle. The vehicle will not unlock the doors when

any of the following conditions are true:



The doors are manually locked using the door

lock knobs.



Three attempts are made to lock the doors

using the door panel switch and then the doors

are closed.



There is a valid Passive Entry key fob outside the

vehicle and within 5 ft (1.5 m) of either Passive

Entry door handle.

To Lock The Vehicle’s Doors And Liftgate
With one of the vehicle’s Passive Entry key fobs

within 5 ft (1.5 m) of either front door handle, push

the Passive Entry lock button located on the

outside door handle to lock the vehicle doors and

liftgate.
