key.
NOTE: The key number (A) is stamped on the plate as
shown in the illustration.
Make a record of the key number and store the key and
key number plate in a separate place so that you can
order a key from your authorized dealer if the original
keys are lost.
SENTRY KEY

possibility of vehicle theft. The purpose of the system is
to immobilize the vehicle if an invalid start is attempted.
A valid start attempt can only be achieved (subject to
certain conditions), using a key9registered9to the sentry
key system.

NOTE
1. In the following cases, the vehicle may not be able to
receive the registered ID code from the key. This
means the engine will not start even when the regis-
tered key is turned to the9START9position:
·When the key comes into contact with a metallic or
magnetic object.
·When the key comes into contact with another
immobilizing key, or with some other transponder.In case like these, the theft-alarm indicator (located in
the instrument cluster) will blink after 10 seconds. The
theft-alarm indicator will flash for approximately 30
seconds and then go off.
Remove the above object from the key and turn the
key back to the9ACC9or9LOCK9position. Then try
again to start the engine. If the engine does not start,
consult an authorized dealer.
2. Since there is a transponder built into the key, be
careful not to cause shock to the key, such as by dropping
it or by putting heavy objects on top of it.
3. Do not leave the key where it may be exposed to heat
caused by the high temperature and high humidity.
4. Sentry key is not compatible with remote starting
systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle
starting problems and a loss of security protection.
5. A system failure is suspected when the ignition key is
turned to the9START9position, the engine does not start.
In such a case, consult an authorized dealer.
