To Manually Lock The
Steering Wheel
With the engine running, rotate the
steering wheel one-half revolution to
3:00 or 9:00 position, turn off the
engine and remove the key. Turn the
steering wheel slightly in either direc-
tion until the lock engages.
To Release The Steering
Wheel Lock
Cycle the ignition and start the en-
gine.
NOTE: If you turned the wheel to
the right to engage the lock, you
must turn the wheel slightly to the
right to disengage it. If you turned
the wheel to the left to engage the
lock, turn the wheel slightly to the
left to disengage it.SENTRY KEY® (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The Sentry Key® Immobilizer system
prevents unauthorized vehicle opera-
tion by disabling the engine. The sys-
tem does not need to be armed or
activated. Operation is automatic, re-
gardless of whether the vehicle is
locked or unlocked.
The system uses a Key Fob with Re-
mote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmit-
ter, 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 oper-
ate 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 elec-
tronics. In addition, if the light begins
to flash after the bulb check, it indi-
cates that someone used an invalidKey Fob 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.
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 keys from the
vehicle and lock all doors when
leaving the vehicle unattended.

For vehicles equipped with Key- less Enter-N-Go, press the Key-
less Enter-N-Go Start/Stop but-
ton (requires at least one valid
Key Fob in the vehicle).
For vehicles not equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go, insert a
valid key into the ignition switch
and turn the key to the ON posi-
tion.
NOTE:
The driver's door key cylinder and the liftgate button on the
RKE transmitter cannot arm or

Alarm is armed, the interior
power door lock switches will
not unlock the doors.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is de-
signed to protect your vehicle; how-
ever, you can create conditions where
the system will give you a false alarm.
If one of the previously described
arming sequences has occurred, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will arm re-
gardless 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, the horn will sound. If this oc-
curs, disarm the Vehicle Security
Alarm.

mitter with Integrated Key into the
ignition switch disables all but-
tons on that transmitter; however,
the buttons on the remaining
