tapping it lightly on a solid surface such as
a table or similar surface, and then replace
the battery. When replacing the battery,
match the (+) sign on the battery to the (+)
sign on the inside of the battery clip, located

battery with your fingers because skin oils
may cause battery deterioration. If you
touch a battery, clean it with rubbing
alcohol.

Programming Additional Key Fobs
Programming the key fob may be performed by
an authorized dealer.
NOTE:
Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, it
cannot be repurposed and reprogrammed to
another vehicle.
Request For Additional Remote Controls

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. 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 system
serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to an
authorized dealer.General Information
