from your authorized dealer. However, this number can
also be found on your customer invoice that you were
given upon receipt of your vehicle.

vehicle electronics can be used to start the vehicle. Once
a Sentry Key has been programmed to a vehicle, it cannot
be programmed to any other vehicle.

with a four digit PIN number. This number is required
for dealer replacement of keys. Duplication of keys may
be performed at an authorized dealer or by using the

18 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

2. This device must accept any interference that may be
received, including interference that may cause undes-
ired operation.
SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
This system monitors the vehicle doors, swing gate, and
ignition for unauthorized operation. When the alarm is
activated, the system provides both audible and visual
signals. The horn, headlights, and tail lights will sound/
flash repeatedly for three minutes. If disturbance is still
present (driver’s door, passenger door, other doors, igni-
tion) after three minutes, the headlights and tail lights
will flash for an additional 15 minutes.
NOTE:The “Panic” and “Security” alarms are quite
different. Please take a moment to activate the “Panic”
and the “Security” modes to hear the differences in the
horn. In case one should go off in the future, you will
need to know which mode has been activated in order to
deactivate it.
To Set the Alarm
The alarm will set when you use the remote keyless entry
transmitter to lock the doors and swing gate or when you
use the power door lock switch while the door is open.
After all the doors are locked and closed, the “Sentry
Key/Security Alarm Indicator Light” (located in the
instrument cluster) will flash rapidly for about 16 sec-
onds to signal that the system is arming. During this 16
second arming period, opening any door or the swing
gate will cancel the arming. If the system successfully
arms, the “Sentry Key/Security Alarm Indicator Light”
will flash at a slower rate to indicate the alarm is set.
To Disarm the System
To disarm the system, you will need to press the “Un-
lock” button on the remote keyless entry transmitter or
turn the ignition key to the RUN position. If something
has triggered the system in your absence, the horn will
sound three times when you unlock the doors. Check the
vehicle for tampering.

The Security Alarm System is designed to protect your
vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the
system will arm unexpectedly. If you remain in the
vehicle and lock the doors with the transmitter, once the
system is armed (after 16 seconds), when you pull the
door handle to exit the alarm will sound. If this occurs,
press the “Unlock” button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter to disarm the system. You may also acciden-
tally disarm the system by unlocking the driver’s door
with the key and then locking it. The door will be locked
but the Security Alarm will not arm.
ILLUMINATED ENTRY
The interior lights will come on when you open any door.
The lights will remain on after all of the doors are closed,
and then fade to off or they will immediately fade to off
once the ignition switch is turned on.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY — IF EQUIPPED
This system allows you to lock or unlock the doors and
swing gate or activate the panic alarm from distances a
maximum of 66 feet (20 meters) using a hand held radio
transmitter. The transmitter need not be pointed at the
vehicle to activate the system.
