WARNING!
• Do not start or run an engine in a closed
garage or confined area. Exhaust gas
contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is
odorless and colorless. Carbon Monox-
ide is poisonous and can cause serious
injury or death when inhaled.
• Keep key fobs away from children. Op-
eration of the Remote Start System, win-
dows, door locks or other controls could
cause serious injury or death.
To Enter Remote Start Mode
Push and release the remote start button on
the key fob twice within five seconds. The
vehicle doors will lock, the parking lights will
flash, and the horn will chirp twice (if pro-
grammed). Then, the engine will start, and
the vehicle will remain in the Remote Start
mode for a 15-minute cycle.

• If an engine fault is present or fuel level is
low, the vehicle will start and then shut
down in 10 seconds.• The park lamps will turn on and remain on
during Remote Start mode.

roof operation (if equipped) are disabled
when the vehicle is in the Remote Start
mode.
• The engine can be started two consecutive
times with the key fob. However, the igni-
tion must be cycled by pushing the START/
STOP button twice (or the ignition switch
must be cycled to the ON/RUN position)
before you can repeat the start sequence
for a third cycle.
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 sys-
tem will disable with a 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 key fob to
unlock the doors and disarm the vehicle se-
curity alarm (if equipped). Then, prior to the
end of the 15-minute cycle, push and release
the START/STOP button. If the START/STOP
button is not present, insert the key fob into
the ignition switch and turn the switch to the
ON/RUN position.

SENTRY KEY
The Sentry Key Immobilizer system prevents
unauthorized 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.
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 Keys
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 pro-
grammed to a vehicle, it cannot be pro-
grammed to any other vehicle.
CAUTION!
• Always remove the key fobs from the
vehicle and lock all doors when leaving
the vehicle unattended.
• For vehicles equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go — Ignition, always remem-
ber to place the ignition in the OFF
position.
NOTE:
Duplication of key fobs may be performed at
an authorized dealer. This procedure consists
of programming a blank key fob to the vehicle
electronics. A blank key fob is one that has
never been programmed.
When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer Sys-
tem serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you
to an authorized dealer.
Customer Key Programming
Programming key fobs may be performed at
your authorized dealer.
VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
— IF EQUIPPED
The vehicle security alarm monitors the ve-
hicle doors, hood, liftgate, and the Keyless
Enter-N-Go — Ignition for unauthorized op-
eration. 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 turn signals will flash
• The vehicle security light in the instrument
cluster will flash

If you turn the headlights or parking lights on,
or place the ignition in ACC or RUN, the
system will cancel the delay.
If you turn the headlights off before the
ignition, they will turn off in the normal
manner.NOTE:
• The lights must be turned off within
45 seconds of placing the ignition in the
OFF position to activate this feature. If the
headlight switch is in the AUTO position
prior to turning the ignition OFF, there is no
need to turn the headlight switch to off to
activate Headlight Delay.

for a defective outside light bulb. If an
indicator fails to light when the lever is
moved, it would suggest that the indicator
bulb is defective.

NOTE:
• Before closing the liftgate, make sure to be
in possession of the key because the lift-
gate may be locked.
• Use the interior door lock/unlock button on
the door panel or the key fob to lock and
unlock the liftgate. The manual door locks
on the doors and the exterior door lock
cylinder will not lock and unlock the
liftgate.
Lock The Vehicle
WARNING!
During power operation, personal injury or
cargo damage may occur. Ensure the lift-
gate travel path is clear. Make sure the
liftgate is closed and latched before driv-
ing away.NOTE:
• The liftgate will not power open or close if
the gear selector is in gear or the vehicle
speed is above 0 mph (0 km/h).
• If anything obstructs the power liftgate
while it is closing or opening, the liftgate
will automatically reverse to the closed or
open position, provided it meets sufficient
resistance.
• There are pinch sensors attached to the
side of the liftgate opening. Light pressure
anywhere along these strips will cause the
liftgate to return to the open position.
• If the power liftgate encounters multiple
obstructions within the same cycle, the
system will automatically stop. If this oc-
curs, the liftgate must be opened or closed
manually.
• The power liftgate will not operate in tem-
peratures below −22° F (−30° C) or tem-
peratures about 150° F (65° C). Be sure to
remove any buildup of snow or ice from the
liftgate before pushing any of the power
liftgate switches.• If the liftgate is left open for an extended
period of time, the liftgate may need to be
closed manually to reset power liftgate
functionality.
• Gas props support the liftgate in the open
position. However, because the gas pres-
sure drops with temperature, it may be
necessary to assist the props when opening
the liftgate in cold weather.
• Before driving off, check the instrument
cluster for a liftgate or door open message
or warning indicator. Failure to do this
could result in unintentionally leaving the
liftgate open while driving.
• If your liftgate is power closing and you put
the vehicle in gear, the liftgate will continue
to power close. However, vehicle movement
may result in a detection of an obstruction.
• If the electronic liftgate release handle is
pushed with the power liftgate is opening,
the liftgate motor will disengage to allow
manual operation.
• If the electronic liftgate release handle is
pushed while the power liftgate is closing,
the liftgate will reverse to the full open
position.
