During normal operation, after turn-
ing on the ignition switch, 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 in-
valid key to start the engine. Either of
these conditions will result in the en-
gine being shut off after two seconds.
If the Vehicle Security Light turns on
during normal vehicle operation (ve-
hicle running for longer than 10 sec-
onds), 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 sys-
tem is not compatible with some
after-market remote starting sys-
tems. Use of these systems may re-
sult in vehicle starting problems
and loss of security protection.All of the keys provided with your new
vehicle have been programmed to the
vehicle electronics.
REPLACEMENT KEYS
NOTE: Only keys that have been
programmed to the vehicle elec-
tronics 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.
CAUTION!
Always remove Sentry Keys from
the vehicle and lock all doors when
leaving the vehicle unattended.At the time of purchase, the original
owner is provided with a four-digit
Personal Identification Number (PIN).
Keep the PIN in a secure location. This
number is required for authorized
dealer replacement of keys. Duplica-
tion of keys consists of programming a
blank key to the vehicle electronics. A
blank key is one which has never been
programmed. See your authorized
dealer if you require replacement or
additional keys for your vehicle.
NOTE: When having the Sentry
Key® Immobilizer System ser-
viced, bring all vehicle keys with
you to the authorized dealer.
CUSTOMER KEY
PROGRAMMING

VEHICLE SECURITY
ALARM
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors
the doors, and trunk for unauthorized
entry and ignition switch for unau-
thorized operation.
While the Vehicle Security Alarm is
armed, interior switches for door
locks and decklid release are disabled.
If something triggers the alarm, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will sound the
horn intermittently, flash the head-
lights, the park lights, and the tail-
lights, and flash the Vehicle Security
Light in the cluster.
REARMING OF THE
SYSTEM
If something triggers the alarm, and
no action is taken to disarm it, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will turn off
the horn after three minutes, turn off
all of the visual signals after 15 min-
utes, and then the Vehicle Security
Alarm will rearm itself.TO ARM THE SYSTEM
1. Remove the keys from the ignition
switch and exit the vehicle.
2. Lock the doors by pressing the
power door lock switch or the LOCK
button on the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter.
NOTE: The Vehicle Security
Alarm will not arm if you lock the
doors with the manual door lock
plungers.
3. Close all doors. The Vehicle Secu-
rity Light in the instrument cluster
will flash rapidly for 16 seconds. This
shows that the Vehicle Security Alarm
is arming. After 16 seconds, the Ve-
hicle Security Light will flash slowly.
This shows that the Vehicle Security
Alarm is fully armed.
NOTE:
 During the 16–second arming
period, if a door is opened or the
ignition switch is turned to ON/
RUN, the Vehicle Security Alarm
will automatically disarm. 
While the Vehicle Security Alarm
is armed, interior switches for
door locks and decklid release are
disabled.TO DISARM THE SYSTEM
Either press the UNLOCK button on
the RKE transmitter or insert a valid
Sentry Key® into the ignition switch
lock cylinder and turn the key to the
ON/RUN or START position.
NOTE:
 The driver's door key cylinder
and the trunk button on the RKE
transmitter cannot arm or dis-
arm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
The Vehicle Security Alarm re-
mains armed during trunk entry.
Pressing the trunk button will not
disarm the Vehicle Security
Alarm. If someone enters the ve-
hicle through the trunk and opens
any door, the alarm will sound.When the Vehicle Security Alarm
is armed, the interior power door
lock switches will not unlock the
doors.
15

The Vehicle Security Alarm is de-
signed to protect your vehicle; how-
ever, you can create conditions where
the Vehicle Security Alarm will give
you a false alarm. If one of the previ-
ously described arming sequences has
occurred, the Vehicle Security Alarm
will arm regardless of whether you are
in the vehicle or not. If you remain in
the vehicle and open a door, the alarm
will sound. If this occurs, disarm the
Vehicle Security Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed
and the battery becomes discon-
nected, the Vehicle Security Alarm
will remain armed when the battery is
reconnected. The exterior lights will
flash, and the horn will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security
Alarm.
SECURITY MANUAL
OVERRIDE
The Vehicle Security Alarm will not
arm if you lock the doors using the
manual door lock plunger.ILLUMINATED ENTRY
The courtesy lights will turn on when
you press the unlock button on the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) trans-
mitter or open any door.
The interior lights will fade to off after
approximately 30 seconds or they will
immediately fade to off once the igni-
tion switch is turned to ON/RUN from
the OFF position.
NOTE:
 The front courtesy overhead
console and door courtesy lights
will turn on if the dimmer con-
trol is in the "Dome ON" position
(extreme top position).

The Illuminated Entry system

control is in the “Dome defeat”
position (extreme bottom posi-
tion).
REMOTE KEYLESS
ENTRY (RKE)
This system allows you to lock or
unlock the doors, open the trunk and
open the convertible top from dis-
tances up to approximately 10 m
using a hand-held Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter. The RKE
transmitter does not need to be
pointed at the vehicle to activate the
system.
NOTE: The line of transmission
must not be blocked with metal
objects.

WARNING!(Continued)
 When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key fob from the igni-
tion and lock your vehicle.
 Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an un-
locked vehicle.
 Allowing children to be in a ve- hicle unattended is dangerous for
a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously or fa-
tally injured. Children 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, or in a location acces-
sible to children, and do not leave
the ignition in the ACC or ON/
RUN position. A child could oper-
ate power windows, other con-
trols, or move the vehicle.

TRUNK SAFETY
WARNINGWARNING!
Do not allow children to have ac-
cess to the trunk, either by climbing
into the trunk from outside, or
through the inside of the vehicle.
Always close the trunk lid when
your vehicle is unattended. Once in
the trunk, young children may not
be able to escape, even if they en-
tered through the rear seat. If
trapped in the trunk, children can
die from suffocation or heat stroke.
TRUNK INTERNAL
EMERGENCY RELEASE
As a security measure, a Trunk Inter-
nal Emergency Release lever is built
into the trunk latching mechanism. In
the event of an individual being
locked inside the trunk, the trunk can
be simply opened by pulling on the
glow-in-the-dark handle attached to
the trunk latching mechanism. OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS
Some of the most important safety
features in your vehicle are the re-
straint systems:
 Three-point lap and shoulder belts
for all seating positions
 Advanced Front Air Bags for driver and front passenger
 Supplemental Active Head Re- straints (AHR) located on top of the
front seats (integrated into the head
restraint)
 Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SAB)
 An energy-absorbing steering col- umn and steering wheel  Knee bolsters/blockers for front
seat occupants
 Front seat belts incorporate preten- sioners that may enhance occupant
protection by managing occupant
energy during an impact event
 Rear passenger seat belts include Automatic Locking Retractors
(ALRs), which lock the seat belt
webbing into position by extending
the belt all the way out and then
adjusting the belt to the desired
length to restrain a child seat or
secure a large item in a seat.
Please pay close attention to the infor-
mation in this section. It tells you how
to use your restraint system properly,
to keep you and your passengers as
safe as possible.
If you will be carrying children too
small for adult-sized seat belts, the
seat belts or the ISOFIX feature also
can be used to hold infant and child
restraint systems. For more informa-
tion, refer to ISOFIX — Child Seat
Anchorage System.

NOTE: The Advanced Front Air
Bags have a multistage inflator de-
sign. This allows the air bag to
have different rates of inflation
based on several factors, including
the severity and type of collision.
Here are some simple steps you can
take to minimize the risk of harm
from a deploying air bag:
1.Children 12 years old and un-
der should always ride buckled up
in a rear seat.WARNING!
Infants in rear facing child re-
straints should never ride in the
front seat of a vehicle with a pas-
senger Advanced Front Air Bag.
An air bag deployment can cause
severe injury or death to infants in
that position.
Children that are not big enough to
wear the vehicle seat belt properly
(see section on Child Restraints)
should be secured in the rear seat in child restraints or belt-positioning
booster seats. Older children who do
not use child restraints or belt-
positioning booster seats should ride
properly buckled up in the rear seat.
Never allow children to slide the
shoulder belt behind them or under
their arm.
You should read the instructions pro-
vided with your child restraint to make
sure that you are using it properly.2.
All occupants should always
wear their lap and shoulder belts
properly.
3. The driver and front passenger
seats should be moved back as far
as practical to allow the Advanced
Front Air Bags room to inflate.
4. Do not lean against the door or
window. If your vehicle has side
air bags, and deployment occurs,
the side air bags will inflate force-
fully into the space between you
and the door. 5.
If the air bag system in this ve-
hicle needs to be modified to ac-
commodate a disabled person,
contact the Customer Center.WARNING!
Infants in rear facing child re-
straints should never ride in the
front seat of a vehicle with a pas-
senger Advanced Front Air Bag.
An air bag deployment can cause
severe injury or death to infants in
that position.
Buckle up even though you are an
excellent driver, even on short trips.
Someone on the road may be a poor
driver and cause a collision that in-
cludes you. This can happen far away
from home or on your own street.

SEAT BELTS IN
PASSENGER SEATING
POSITIONS
The seat belts in the rear passenger
seating positions are equipped with
Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR)
which are used to secure a child re-
straint system. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Installing Child Re-
straints Using The Vehicle Seat Belt”
under the “Child Restraints” section.
The chart below defines the type of
feature for each seating position.
Driver Cen-terPas-
senger

Row ALR N/A ALR
 N/A — Not Applicable

ALR — Automatic Locking Retractor
If the passenger seating position is
equipped with an ALR and is being
used for normal usage:
Only pull the belt webbing out far
enough to comfortably wrap around
the occupant's mid-section so as to
not activate the ALR. If the ALR is
activated, you will hear a ratcheting
sound as the belt retracts. Allow the
webbing to retract completely in this
case and then carefully pull out only
the amount of webbing necessary to
comfortably wrap around the occu-
pant's mid-section. Slide the latch
plate into the buckle until you hear a
"click."
AUTOMATIC LOCKING
RETRACTOR MODE (ALR)
In this mode, the shoulder belt is au-
tomatically pre-locked. The belt will
still retract to remove any slack in the
shoulder belt. The Automatic Locking
Mode is available on rear passenger-
seating positions with a combination
lap/shoulder belt. Use the Automatic
Locking Mode anytime a child safety seat is installed in a seating position
that has a belt with this feature. Chil-
dren 12 years old and under should
always be properly restrained in the
rear seat.
How To Engage The Automatic
Locking Mode
1. Buckle the combination lap and
shoulder belt.
2. Grasp the shoulder portion and
pull downward until the entire belt is
extracted.
3. Allow the belt to retract. As the
belt retracts, you will hear a clicking
sound. This indicates the safety belt is
now in the Automatic Locking Mode.
How To Disengage The Automatic
Locking Mode
Unbuckle the combination lap/
shoulder belt and allow it to retract
completely to disengage the Automatic
Locking Mode and activate the vehicle
sensitive (emergency) locking mode.
