A WORD ABOUT YOUR
KEYS
Your vehicle is equipped with a key-
less ignition system. This system con-
sists of a Key Fob with Remote Key-
less Entry (RKE) transmitter and a
Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) with
integral ignition switch. You can in-
sert the Key Fob into the ignition
switch with either side up.
Keyless Enter-N-Go™ Feature for
(versions/markets where provided)
This vehicle may be equipped with
the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ feature, re-
fer to Starting Procedures in Starting
And Operating for further informa-
tion.
IGNITION NODE MODULE
(IGNM) — (for
versions/markets where
provided)
The Ignition Node Module (IGNM) op-
erates similar to an ignition switch. It
has four operating positions, three with
detents and one that is spring-loaded.
The detent positions are OFF, ACC,and ON/RUN. The START position is a
spring-loaded momentary contact po-
sition. When released from the START
position, the switch automatically re-
turns to the ON/RUN position.
NOTE: If your vehicle is
equipped with Keyless Enter-N-
Go™, the Electronic Vehicle Infor-
mation Center (EVIC) will display
the ignition switch position (OFF/
ACC/RUN). Refer to “Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
— (for versions/markets where
provided) in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” for further in-
formation.
KEY FOB
The Key Fob also contains the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and
an emergency key, which stores in the
rear of the Key Fob.
The emergency key allows for entry
into the vehicle should the battery in
the vehicle or the Key Fob go dead.
You can keep the emergency key with
you when valet parking.
To remove the emergency key, slide
the mechanical latch on the face of the
Key Fob sideways with your thumb
and then pull the key out with your
other hand.
NOTE: You can insert the double-
sided emergency key into the lock
cylinders with either side up.

STEERING WHEEL
LOCK — (for
versions/markets where
provided)
Your vehicle may be equipped with a
passive electronic steering wheel lock.
This lock prevents steering the vehicle
without the ignition key. If the steer-
ing wheel is moved to one of the lock
positions with the key in the off posi-
tions, the steering wheel will lock.
TO MANUALLY LOCK THE
STEERING WHEEL
With the engine running, rotate the
steering wheel one-quarter revolution
in either direction, turn off the engine
and remove the key. Turn the steering
wheel slightly in either direction 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, youmust 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®
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 invalid
Key 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.
CAUTION!
The Sentry Key® Immobilizer sys-
tem is not compatible with some
aftermarket remote starting sys-
tems. Use of these systems may re-
sult in vehicle starting problems
and loss of security protection.
All of the Key Fobs provided with
your new vehicle have been pro-
grammed to the vehicle electronics.

SYSTEM
