Replacement Keys
NOTE:Only keys that have been programmed to the
vehicle electronics 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. When having the
Sentry Key Immobilizer System serviced, bring all ve-
hicle keys with you to an authorized dealer.
The VIN is required for authorized dealer replacement of
keys. Duplication of keys may be performed at an
authorized dealer.

frequency (RF) devices equipped in this vehicle:

with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).

VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors
and ignition for unauthorized operation. When the Ve-
hicle Security Alarm is activated, interior switches for
door locks are disabled. The system provides both au-
dible and visible signals. For the first three minutes, the
horn will sound, and the turn signal lights will flash. For
an additional 15 minutes, only the turn signal lights will
flash.

Rearming Of The System
If the system has not been disabled, the Vehicle Security
Alarm will rearm itself after the 15 additional minutes of
turn lamps flashing. If the condition which initiated the
alarm is still present, the system will ignore that condi-
tion and monitor the remaining doors and ignition.
To Arm The System
To arm the system, The Vehicle Security Alarm will set
when you use the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmit-
ter to lock the doors. If a door or the hood is not properly
shut, the alarm system will not be armed.
To Disarm The System
Use the RKE transmitter to unlock the door and disarm
the system.
The Vehicle Security Alarm will also disarm if a pro-
grammed Sentry Key is inserted into the ignition switch.
To exit the alarming mode, push the RKE transmitter
UNLOCK button, or insert a programmed Sentry Key
into the ignition switch.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your
vehicle. However, you can create conditions where the
system 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.

Security System 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 use the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter or manually
from the driver door cylinder to unlock the doors or open
any door.
The lights will fade to off after approximately 30 seconds,
or they will immediately fade to off once the ignition
switch is turned to ON/RUN from the OFF position.NOTE:
•
The front courtesy overhead console and door cour-
tesy lights will not turn off if the dimmer control is in
the “Dome ON” position.
• The illuminated entry system will not operate if the
dimmer control is in the “Dome OFF” position.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)
This system allows you to lock or unlock the doors from
distances up to approximately 66 ft (20 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.

Knee Impact Bolsters
The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the knees of the
driver and front passenger, and position the front occu-
pants for improved interaction with the Advanced Front
Air Bags.

•Do not drill, cut, or tamper with the knee impact
bolsters in any way.
• Do not mount any accessories to the knee impact
bolsters such as alarm lights, stereos, citizen band

Supplemental Side Air Bags
Your vehicle is equipped with two types of supplemental
Side Air Bags:
1. Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs):
Located in the outboard side of the front seats. The SABs are marked with a “SRS AIRBAG” or AIRBAG
label sewn into the outboard side of the seats.
