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.
This condition 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.
All of the Key Fobs provided with
your new vehicle have been pro-
grammed to the vehicle electronics.
REPLACEMENT KEYS
NOTE: Only Key Fobs that are
programmed to the vehicle elec-
tronics 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.
CAUTION!
Always remove the Key Fobsfrom the vehicle and lock all
doors when leaving the vehicle
unattended.
For vehicles equipped with Key- less EnterNGo™, always re-
member to place the ignition in

formed at an authorized dealer, this
procedure consists of programming a
blank Key Fob to the vehicle electron-
ics. A blank Key Fob is one that has
never been programmed.
NOTE: When having the Sentry
