2011 FIAT FREEMONT interior lights

WARNING!
 Before exiting a vehicle, always apply
the parking brake, shift the transmission
into PARK, and remove the key fob from the
ignition. When leaving the vehicle, always lock
your vehicle.
 Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle.
 Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended
is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously or fatally injured. Chil-
dren should be warned not to touch the parking
brake, brake pedal or the shift lever.
 Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle,
and do not leave Keyless Enter-N-Go in the ACC
or ON/RUN mode. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
 Do not leave children or animals inside parked
vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat build-up
may cause serious injury or death.An unlocked car is an invitation to
thieves. Always remove the Key Fob from
vehicle, cycle the ignition OFF and lock
all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended. SENTRY KEY®
The Sentry Key
®Immobilizer system prevents unau-
thorized vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The
system does not need to be armed or activated. Op-
eration is automatic, regardless of whether the vehicle
is locked or unlocked.
The system uses a Key Fob with Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter, a Keyless Ignition Node (KIN) and a
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.
After cycling the ignition 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.

PREMIUM SECURITY SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
The Premium Security system monitors the doors,
hood latch, and liftgate for unauthorized entry and the
ignition switch for unauthorized operation. The system
also includes a dual function intrusion sensor and
vehicle tilt sensor. The intrusion sensor monitors the
vehicle interior for motion. The vehicle tilt sensor
monitors the vehicle for any tilting actions (tow away,
tire removal, ferry transport, etc). A siren with battery
backup which senses interruptions of power and com-
munications is also included.
In the event that something triggers the security sys-
tem, the siren will sound for 29 seconds and the
headlights will turn on and the turn signal and side
repeater lights will flash for an additional 34 seconds.
The system will repeat this sequence for up to 8
security violations in any mode (door ajar, motion,
hood ajar, etc.) before having to rearm the system. At
the end of any particular trigger event, the lights will
continue to flash for 26 seconds.
