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 vehicle keys with you to an authorized
dealer.

frequency (RF) devices equipped in this vehicle:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and
with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
NOTE: Changes or modifications not expressly ap-
proved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user ’s authority to operate the equipment.
VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors
for unauthorized entry and the ignition switch for
unauthorized operation. While the Vehicle Security
Alarm is armed, interior switches for door locks and
liftgate release are disabled. If something triggers the
alarm, the Vehicle Security Alarm will provide the
following audible and visible signals: the horn will
pulse, the park lamps and/or turn signals will flash,
and the Vehicle Security Light on the instrument panel
will flash.
To Arm The System
1. Remove the key from the ignition switch and get out of the vehicle.
2. Lock the door using either the Central Lock/Unlock switch or the Remote Keyless Entry key fob and close
all doors.
3. The horn will sound and the Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will switch on for approxi-
mately three seconds. This shows that the Vehicle
Security Alarm is arming. During this period, if a
door is opened, the ignition switch is turned to
ON/RUN, or the power door locks are unlocked in
14 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

any manner, the Vehicle Security Alarm will auto-
matically disarm. After approximately three seconds,
the Vehicle Security Light will flash. This shows that
the Vehicle Security Alarm is fully armed.
The activation of the Vehicle Security Alarm is followed
by a self-diagnosis stage. If a fault is detected during the
self-diagnosis stage, the horn will sound a second time.
If the horn sounds a second time, check that all doors,
hood and liftgate are closed correctly, then rearm the
system.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm sounds the horn a second
time even when all doors, hood and liftgate are cor-
rectly closed, a fault has occurred in the operation of the
system. Contact your authorized dealer.
To Disarm The System
Push unlock on the key fob, or insert the key into the
ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to the
ON/RUN position. NOTE:
The Vehicle Security Alarm will not disarm
when the metal insert of the key is used on a single door
lock cylinder.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your
vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the
Vehicle Security Alarm will arm unexpectedly. If you
remain in the vehicle and lock the doors with the key
fob, once the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, when
you pull the door handle to exit, the alarm will sound.
If this occurs, push the unlock button on the key fob to
disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
Central Lock/Unlock (Switch Safe Lock Device)
— If Equipped
This safety device prevents the operation of the interior
door handles and the door locking/unlocking button.
It prevents the opening of the doors from inside the
passenger compartment, serving as an obstacle to
break-in attempts (e.g. broken window).

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 15

Because air bag sensors measure vehicle deceleration
over time, vehicle speed and damage by themselves are
not good indicators of whether or not an air bag should
have deployed.
Seat belts are necessary for your protection in all
collisions, and also are needed to help keep you in
position, away from an inflating air bag.
When the ORC detects a collision requiring the front air
bags, it signals the inflator units. A large quantity of
non-toxic gas is generated to inflate the front air bags.
The steering wheel hub trim cover and the upper right
side of the instrument panel separate and fold out of the
way as the air bags inflate to their full size. The front air
bags fully inflate in less time than it takes to blink your
eyes. The front air bags then quickly deflate while
helping to restrain the driver and front passenger.
Knee Impact Bolsters
The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the knees of the
driver and front passenger, and position the front
occupants for improved interaction with the front air
bags.
WARNING!
•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
radios, etc.
Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver
Knee Air Bag mounted in the instrument panel below
the steering column. The Supplemental Driver Knee Air
Bag provides enhanced protection during a frontal
impact by working together with the seat belts, preten-
sioners, and front air bags.
Supplemental Side Air Bags
Your vehicle is equipped with two types of 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 “AIR-
BAG” label sewn into the outboard side of the
seats.
40 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

GARAGE DOOR OPENER — IF EQUIPPED
HomeLink replaces up to three remote controls (hand-
held transmitters) that operate devices such as garage
door openers, motorized gates, lighting or home secu-
rity systems. The HomeLink unit operates off your
vehicles battery.
The HomeLink buttons that are located in the sunvisor
designate the three different HomeLink channels. The
HomeLink
indicator is located above the center
button.
NOTE: HomeLink is disabled when the Vehicle Secu-
rity Alarm is active.
Before You Begin Programming HomeLink
Be sure that your vehicle is parked outside of the garage
before you begin programming.
For more efficient programming and accurate transmis-
sion of the radio-frequency signal, it is recommended
that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmit-
ter of the device that is being programmed to the
HomeLink system.
To erase the channels, place the ignition in the ON/
RUN position and push and hold the two outside
HomeLink buttons (I and III) for up 20 seconds or until
the red indicator flashes.
NOTE:
• Erasing all channels should only be performed when
programming HomeLink for the first time. Do not
erase channels when programming additional but-
tons.
• If you have any problems, or require assistance,
please call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or, on the Internet
at HomeLink.com for information or assistance.

NOTE:All channels will be erased. Individual channels
cannot be erased.
The HomeLink Universal Transceiver is disabled when
the Vehicle Security Alarm is active.
Troubleshooting Tips
If you are having trouble programming HomeLink,
here are some of the most common solutions:
• Replace the battery in the Garage Door Opener
hand-held transmitter.
• Push the LEARN button on the Garage Door Opener
to complete the training for a Rolling Code.
• Did you unplug the device for programming and
remember to plug it back in?
If you have any problems, or require assistance, please
call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or, on the Internet at
HomeLink.com for information or assistance.
WARNING!
• Vehicle exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a dan-
gerous gas. Do not run your vehicle in the garage
while programming the transceiver. Exhaust gas
can cause serious injury or death.
• Your motorized door or gate will open and close
while you are programming the universal trans-
ceiver. Do not program the transceiver if people,
pets or other objects are in the path of the door or
gate. Only use this transceiver with a garage door
opener that has a “stop and reverse” feature as
required by Federal safety standards. This in-
cludes most garage door opener models manufac-
tured after 1982. Do not use a garage door opener
without these safety features. Call toll-free 1-800-
355-3515 or, on the Internet at HomeLink.com for
safety information or assistance.
