Conditions Causing Engine To Run
•Maintaining Hybrid Battery SOC
• Provide Maximum Vehicle Acceleration
• Provide Maximum Passenger Compartment Heating
• Maintain Exhaust System Catalyst Temperature (after
engine start in current ignition cycle - emissions require-
ment)
• Engine Temporarily Operating in “Fuel and Oil Mainte-
nance Mode”
• Hood Opened with Ignition in Run Post-Start Mode
(eliminate unexpected engine start-ups)
In case the ignition switch does not change with the push

SENTRY KEY
The Sentry Key Immobilizer system prevents unauthorized
operation by disabling the vehicle. The system does not
need to be armed or activated. Operation is automatic,
regardless of whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked.
The system prevents unauthorized vehicle operation by
only allowing key fobs programmed to the vehicle to start
and operate the vehicle.
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.
