allow the engine to run for the entire 15-minute cycle.
NOTE: To avoid unintentional shut downs, 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 the 15-minute cycle, push and release the
unlock
button on the key fob to unlock the doors and
disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm (if equipped). Then,
insert the key into the ignition and place the ignition in
the ON/RUN position.
NOTE: The ignition must be placed in the ON/RUN
position in order to drive the vehicle.
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 key fobs that have an embedded electronic
chip (transponder) to prevent unauthorized vehicle opera-
tion. Therefore, only key fobs that are programmed to the
vehicle can be used to start and operate the vehicle. The
system will shut the engine off in two seconds if someone
uses an invalid key to try to start the engine.
NOTE: A key fob that has not been programmed is also
considered an invalid key, even if it is cut to fit the ignition
or lock cylinder for that vehicle.
During normal operation, after placing the ignition in the
on 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
electronics. In addition, if the Vehicle Security Light begins
to flash after the bulb check, it indicates that someone used3
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 25

an invalid key to try to start the engine. Either of these
conditions will result in the engine being shut off after two
seconds.
If the Vehicle Security Light turns on during normal vehicle
operation (vehicle running for longer than 10 seconds), 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 system is not compatible
with some aftermarket remote starting systems. Use of
these systems may result in vehicle starting problems
and loss of security protection.
All of the key fobs provided with your new vehicle have
been programmed to the vehicle electronics.
Replacement Key Fobs
NOTE: Only key fobs that are programmed to the vehicle
electronics 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 Sentry Keys from the vehicle and
lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.
Duplication of key fobs may be performed at an authorized
dealer or by following the customer key programming
procedure. This procedure consists of programming a
blank key fob to the vehicle electronics. A blank key fob is
one that has never been programmed.
NOTE: When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
serviced, bring all vehicle key fobs with you to an autho-
rized dealer.
Customer Key Programming
If you have two valid key fobs, you can program new key
fobs to the Sentry Key Immobilizer system by performing
the following procedure:
1. Cut the additional Key(s) to match the ignition and lock cylinder key code.
2. Insert the first valid key into the ignition. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position for at least three
seconds, but no longer than 15 seconds. Then, place the
ignition in the LOCK position and remove the first key.
26 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

3. Insert the second valid key into the ignition. Place theignition in the ON/RUN position within 15 seconds.
After 10 seconds, a chime will sound. In addition, the
Vehicle Security Light will begin to flash. Place the
ignition in the LOCK position and remove the second
key.
4. Insert a blank key into the ignition. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position within 60 seconds. After 10
seconds, a single chime will sound. In addition, the
Vehicle Security Light will stop flashing. To indicate that
programming is complete, the Vehicle Security Light
will turn on again for three seconds and then turn off.
The new key is programmed. The key fob will also be
programmed during this procedure.
Repeat this procedure to program up to eight keys. If you
do not have a programmed key fob, contact your autho-
rized dealer for details.
NOTE: If a programmed key fob is lost, see your autho-
rized dealer to have all remaining key fobs erased from the
system’s memory. This will prevent the lost key from
starting your vehicle. The remaining key fobs must then be
reprogrammed. All vehicle key fobs must be taken to an
authorized dealer at the time of service to be repro-
grammed.General Information

VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM — IF EQUIPPED
This Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the doors, liftgate,
and ignition switch for unauthorized operation.
When the alarm is activated, the interior switches for door
locks are disabled. The Vehicle Security Alarm provides both
audio and visual signals, the horn will sound, the headlights,
park lamps and/or turn signals will flash repeatedly for
three minutes. If the disturbance is still present (driver’s

door, passenger door, other doors, ignition) after three min-
utes, the parking lights and tail lights will flash for an
additional 15 minutes.
To Arm The System
1. Remove the key fob from the ignition and get out of thevehicle.
2. Lock the door using either the power door lock
switch or the key fob lockbutton and close all
doors.
3. The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash rapidly for approximately 16 seconds. This shows
that the Vehicle Security Alarm is arming. During this
period, if a door is opened, the ignition is placed in the
ON/RUN position, or the power door locks are un-
locked in any manner, the Vehicle Security Alarm will
automatically disarm. After approximately 16 seconds,
the Vehicle Security Light will flash slowly. This shows
that the Vehicle Security Alarm is fully armed.
Rearming The System
If something triggers the alarm, and no action is taken to
disarm it, the Vehicle Security Alarm will turn off the horn
after three minutes, turn off all of the visual signals after 15
minutes, and then the Vehicle Security Alarm will rearm itself.
To Disarm The System
Push unlockon the key fob, or insert the key into the
ignition and place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.
If something has triggered the Vehicle Security Alarm in
your absence, the horn will sound three times, and exterior
lights blink three times when you unlock the doors. Check
the vehicle for tampering. 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 (after 16 seconds), 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.
