NOTE:When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to an authorized
dealer.
IGNITION SWITCH
Operation
Your vehicle uses either a key start ignition system or
keyless ignition system. The key start ignition system
consists of a Key Fob with a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter and an Integrated Mechanical Key Ignition.
The keyless ignition system consists of a Key Fob with
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and a Keyless
Push Button Ignition.
Mechanical Key
The Mechanical Key has three operating positions, two
with detents and one that is spring-loaded. The detent
positions are STOP/OFF, MAR/RUN, and AVV/START.
The AVV/START position is a spring-loaded momentary contact position. When released from the AVV/START
position, the switch automatically returns to the MAR/
RUN position.
1 — STOP/OFF
•
The engine is stopped.Integrated Mechanical Key Ignition
38 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

•The key can be removed from the ignition.
• The steering column can be locked (with the ignition
key removed).
• Some electrical devices (e.g. power locks, alarm, etc.)
are still available.
2 — MAR/RUN
• Driving position.
• Electrical devices are available.
3 — AVV/START
• Start the engine.
The ignition switch is provided with a safety mechanism.
If the engine fails to start, the ignition will return to the
STOP/OFF position prior to repeating the starting pro-
cedure. On models equipped with an automatic transmission, the
ignition key is only removable when the shift lever is in
PARK.
Electronic Key
This Keyless Enter-N-Go system feature allows the driver
to operate the ignition switch with the push of a button as
long as the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is in
the passenger compartment.
The Keyless Push Button Ignition has three operating
positions. The three positions are STOP, RUN, and
START.4

REMOTE STARTING SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
This system uses the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter to start the engine conve-
niently from outside the vehicle while still
maintaining security. The system has a range of
at least 300 ft (91 m).
The Remote Starting System also activates the Climate
Control and (if equipped) the optional heated seats and
optional heated steering wheel depending on tempera-
tures outside and inside the car.
NOTE:
• The vehicle must be equipped with an automatic
transmission to be equipped with Remote Start.
• Obstructions between the vehicle and RKE transmitter
may reduce this range.

To Exit Remote Start Mode Without Driving The
Vehicle
Push and release the REMOTE START button one time or
allow the engine to run for the entire 15-minute cycle.
NOTE:To avoid unintentional shutdowns, the system
will disable the one time push of the REMOTE START
button for two seconds after receiving a valid Remote
Start request.
To Exit Remote Start Mode And Drive The Vehicle
Before the end of 15-minute cycle, push and release the
UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter to unlock the
doors and disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm (if
equipped). Then, prior to the end of the 15-minute cycle,
push and release the START/STOP button. NOTE:
For vehicles equipped with the Keyless Enter-
N-Go feature, the message “Remote Start Active — Push
Start Button” will display in the Electronic Vehicle Infor-
mation Center (EVIC) or the Driver Information Dispay
(DID) until you push the START button.
Remote Start Comfort Systems — If Equipped
When Remote Start is activated, the heated steering
wheel and driver heated seat features will automatically
turn on in cold weather. These features will stay on
through the duration of Remote Start or until the ignition
switch is cycled to the MAR/RUN position.
NOTE: The Remote Start Comfort System can be acti-
vated and deactivated through the Uconnect Settings. For
more information on Remote Start Comfort System op-
eration, refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia.”

Remote Start Windshield Wiper De–Icer
Activation — If Equipped
When Remote Start is active and the outside ambient
temperature is less than 40° F (4.4° C), the Windshield
Wiper De-Icer will be enabled. Exiting Remote Start will
resume previous operation, except if the Windshield
Wiper De-Icer is active. The Windshield Wiper De-Icer
timer and operation will continue.
SENTRY KEY
The Sentry Key Immobilizer system prevents unauthor-
ized vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The
system does not need to be armed or activated. Operation
is automatic, regardless of whether the vehicle is locked
or unlocked.
The system uses a Key Fob with a factory-mated Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter, a Keyless Push Button
Ignition, and a RF receiver to prevent unauthorizedvehicle operation. Therefore, only Key Fobs that are
programmed to the vehicle can be used to start and
operate the vehicle. The system will not allow the engine
to crank if an invalid Key Fob tries to start the engine.
After placing the ignition to the ON/RUN position, if
there is a problem with the system, the Vehicle Security
Light will turn on. This condition will result in the engine
being shut off after two seconds.
Should this occur, have the vehicle serviced as soon as
possible by an authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
•
Do not make modifications or alterations to the
immobilizer system. Modifications or alterations to
the immobilization system may result in a loss of
security protection.
