•Allowing children to be in a vehicle unat-
tended is dangerous for a number of rea-
sons. A child or others could be seriously
or fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the gear selector.
•Do not leave the RKE Key Fob in or near
the vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children. A child could operate power win-
dows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
•Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior
heat build-up may cause serious injury or
death.
CAUTION!
Always remove the RKE Key Fobs from the
vehicle and lock all doors when leaving the
vehicle unattended.

RKE Key Fob-In-Ignition ReminderOpening the driver’s door when the RKE Key is
in the ignition and the ignition position is LOCK
or ACC sounds a signal to remind you to
remove the RKE Key.
NOTE:
With the driver’s door open and the RKE Key
in the ignition, the power door locks will not
lock, and RKE Key Fob will not function.
STEERING WHEEL LOCK — IF
EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with a passive
electronic steering wheel lock. This lock pre-
vents steering the vehicle with the ignition OFF.
The steering wheel lock releases with the igni-
tion On. If the lock does not disengage and thevehicle does not start, turn the wheel to the left
and right to disengage the lock.
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.
The system uses ignition RKE Key Fobs, which
have an embedded electronic chip (transpon-
der) to prevent unauthorized vehicle operation.
Only RKE 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
start the engine.
NOTE:
A RKE Key Fob that has not been pro-
grammed is also considered an invalid RKE
Key Fob even if it is cut to fit the ignition
cylinder for that vehicle.
During normal operation, after placing the igni-
tion in the ON/RUN position, the Vehicle Secu-
rity Light will turn on for three seconds for a bulb
13

check. If the light remains on after the bulb
check, it indicates that there is a problem with
the electronics. In addition, if the light begins to
flash after the bulb check, it indicates that
someone used an invalid RKE Key Fob 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 RKE Key Fobs provided with your new
vehicle have been programmed to the vehicleelectronics. See your authorized dealer if you
require replacement or additional RKE Key
Fobs for your vehicle.
Replacement RKE Key Fobs
NOTE:
Only RKE Key Fobs that have been pro-
grammed to the vehicle electronics can be
used to start the vehicle. Once a Sentry Key
has been 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 RKE Key Fobs consists of pro-
gramming a blank key to the vehicle electronics.
A blank RKE Key Fob is one which has never
been programmed. See your authorized dealer
if you require replacement or additional RKE
Key Fobs for your vehicle.NOTE:
When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer
System serviced, bring all vehicle keys with
you to an authorized dealer.

VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM —
IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the doors,
hood, liftgate, and ignition switch for unauthor-
ized operation.
If something triggers the Vehicle Security Alarm
the horn will sound for 29 seconds and turn off
all of the visual signals after an additional 31
seconds. If the triggering device is not deacti-
vated, the horn will sound again after a five
second delay for another 30 seconds. If the
trigger remains present, this cycle will repeat for
up to five minutes.

To Arm The System
1. Remove the RKE Key Fob from the ignition
and get out of the vehicle.
2. Lock the door using either the power door
lock
switch or the RKE 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 Secu-
rity 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 unlocked in any manner, the Vehicle
Security Alarm will automatically disarm. Af-
ter approximately 16 seconds, the Vehicle
Security Light will flash slowly. This shows
that the Vehicle Security Alarm is fully
armed.
Rearming Of The SystemIf something triggers the alarm, and no action is
taken to disarm it, the Vehicle Security Alarm
will turn off the horn after 29 seconds, turn off all
of the visual signals after one minute, and then
the Vehicle Security Alarm will rearm itself.
To Disarm The SystemPush UNLOCK on the RKE 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 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; how-
ever, you can create conditions where the Ve-
hicle Security Alarm will arm unexpectedly. If
you remain in the vehicle and lock the doors
with the RKE Key Fob, once the Vehicle Secu-
rity 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 RKE Key Fob to disarm the Vehicle
Security Alarm.

plunger.
PREMIUM VEHICLE SECURITY
ALARM — IF EQUIPPED
The Premium Vehicle Security Alarm system
monitors the doors, hood latch, liftgate, and
ignition switch for unauthorized operation.
If something triggers the security alarm, the
audible alert will sound for 29 seconds and flash
the lights for 60 seconds. If the triggering device
is not deactivated, the audible alert will sound
again after a five-second delay for another 29
seconds. If the trigger remains present, this
cycle will repeat for up to five minutes.
If the intrusion sensor is enabled, the security
alarm system will also monitor the vehicle for
movement. When this portion of the alarm is
set, movement inside the vehicle or movement
of the vehicle will trigger the Vehicle Security
Alarm.

a rear seat in child restraints or belt-
positioning booster seats. Older children
who do not use child restraints or belt-
positioning booster seats should ride prop-
erly buckled up in a vehicle with a rear seat.
4. Never allow children to slide the shoulder
belt behind them or under their arm.
5. You should read the instructions provided
with your child restraint to make sure that
you are using it properly.
6. All occupants should always wear their lap
and shoulder belts properly.
7. The driver and front passenger seats should
be moved back as far as practical to allow
the Advanced Front Air Bags room to inflate.
8. Do not lean against the door or window. If
your vehicle has side air bags, and deploy-
ment occurs, the side air bags will inflate
forcefully into the space between occupants
and the door and occupants could be in-
jured.9. If the air bag system in this vehicle needs to
be modified to accommodate a disabled
person, contact the Customer Center. Phone
numbers are provided under"If You Need
Assistance."
WARNING!
•Never place a rear-facing child restraint in
front of an air bag. A deploying Passenger

Seat Belt SystemsBuckle up even though you are an excellent
driver, even on short trips. Someone on the
road may be a poor driver and could cause a
collision that includes you. This can happen far
away from home or on your own street.Research has shown that seat belts save lives,
and they can reduce the seriousness of injuries
in a collision. Some of the worst injuries happen
when people are thrown from the vehicle. Seat
belts reduce the possibility of ejection and the
risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the
vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle should be
belted at all times.
Driver And Passenger BeltAlert — If
Equipped
BeltAlert is a feature intended to remind the
driver and outboard front seat passenger (if
equipped with outboard front passenger seat
BeltAlert) to buckle their seat belts. The Belt
Alert feature is active whenever the ignition is
placed in the START or ON/RUN position.
Initial Indication
If the driver is unbuckled when the ignition is
first placed in the START or ON/RUN position,
an intermittent chime will signal for a few sec-
onds. If the driver or outboard front seat pas-
senger (if equipped with outboard front passen-
ger seat BeltAlert) is unbuckled when the
ignition is first placed in the START or ON/RUN
position the Seat Belt Reminder Light will turn
27

WARNING!(Continued)
•Always make sure that objects cannot fall
into the driver footwell while the vehicle is
moving. Objects can become trapped un-
der the brake pedal and accelerator pedal
causing a loss of vehicle control.
•If required, mounting posts must be prop-
erly installed, if not equipped from the
factory.
Failure to properly follow floor mat installa-
tion or mounting can cause interference with
the brake pedal and accelerator pedal opera-
tion causing loss of control of the vehicle.
Periodic Safety Checks You Should
Make Outside The Vehicle
Tires
Examine tires for excessive tread wear and
uneven wear patterns. Check for stones, nails,
glass, or other objects lodged in the tread or
sidewall. Inspect the tread for cuts and cracks.
Inspect sidewalls for cuts, cracks, and bulges.
Check the wheel nuts for tightness. Check the
tires (including spare) for proper cold inflation
pressure.
Lights
Have someone observe the operation of brake
lights and exterior lights while you work the
controls. Check turn signal and high beam
indicator lights on the instrument panel.Door Latches
Check for proper closing, latching, and locking.
Fluid Leaks
Check area under vehicle after overnight park-
ing for fuel, engine coolant, oil, or other fluid
leaks. Also, if gasoline fumes are detected or if
fuel, power steering fluid (if equipped), or brake
fluid leaks are suspected. The cause should be
located and corrected immediately.
