also for locking the glove compartment. You
can keep the emergency key with you when
valet parking.
To remove the emergency key from the key-
less ignition key fob, slide the mechanical
latch at the top of the key fob sideways with
your thumb and then pull the key out with
your other hand.

only with the key fob facing away from your
body, especially your eyes and objects that
may be damaged, such as clothing.
To Unlock The Doors And Liftgate
Push and release the unlock button on the
key fob once to unlock the driver's door or

Request For Additional Key Fobs
NOTE:
Only key fobs that are programmed to the

grammed to a vehicle, it cannot be pro-
grammed to any other vehicle.
WARNING!
• 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

Used batteries may be harmful to the envi-
ronment if not disposed of correctly. Always
dispose of used batteries by specialized bat-
tery disposal container, or by taking used
batteries to an authorized dealer.
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.

includes a dual function intrusion sensor and
vehicle tilt sensor. The intrusion sensor moni-
tors the vehicle interior for motion. The ve-
hicle tilt sensor monitors the vehicle for any
tilting actions (tow away, tire removal, ferry

which senses interruptions of power and
communications is also included.
If a perimeter violation triggers the security
system, the siren will sound for 29 seconds
and the exterior lights will flash followed by
approximately five seconds of no activity.
This will continue for eight cycles if no action
is taken to disarm the system.

If the HI level setting is selected, the system
will automatically switch to LO level after
approximately 60 minutes of continuous op-
eration. At that time, the display will change
from HI to LO, indicating the change. The LO
level setting will turn off automatically after
approximately 45 minutes.

the skin because of advanced age,
chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord in-
jury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus-
tion or other physical condition must
exercise care when using the seat
heater. It may cause burns even at low
temperatures, especially if used for long
periods of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat or
seatback that insulates against heat,
such as a blanket or cushion. This may
cause the seat heater to overheat. Sit-
ting in a seat that has been overheated
could cause serious burns due to the
increased surface temperature of the
seat.

risk of injury by restricting head movement in
the event of a rear impact. Head restraints
should be adjusted so that the top of the head
restraint is located above the top of your ear.
WARNING!

should not operate a vehicle or sit in a
vehicle’s seat until the head restraints
are placed in their proper positions in
order to minimize the risk of neck injury
in the event of a crash.
• Head restraints should never be ad-
justed while the vehicle is in motion.
Driving a vehicle with the head restraints
improperly adjusted or removed could
cause serious injury or death in the event
of a collision.
NOTE:
Do not reverse the head restraints (making
the rear of the head restraint face forward) in
an attempt to gain additional clearance to the
back of your head.
