Key-In-Ignition Reminder
Opening the driver's door when the key is in the ignition and
the ignition switch position is STOP (OFF/LOCK) sounds a
signal to remove the key.
WARNING!
• Before exiting a vehicle, always shift the transmission into PARK, apply the parking brake, and remove the
key fob from the vehicle. When leaving the vehicle,
always lock your vehicle. In case you switch off the
vehicle and the transmission is not in PARK position, a
warning message will appear on the cluster which
suggests you to shift the transmission into PARK posi -
tion and, then, you can remove the key within 15
seconds. If 15 seconds expire, you have to rotate the key
from OFF/LOCK position to ON/RUN position and
come back to OFF/LOCK position in order to remove
the key.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to be in a
vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. 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 key fob in or near the vehicle, or in alocation accessible to children. A child could operate
power windows, 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!
An unlocked vehicle is an invitation. Always remove the
key from the ignition and lock all the doors when
leaving the vehicle unattended.
WARNING! (Continued)

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 keys which have an embedded elec-
tronic chip (transponder) to prevent unauthorized vehicle
operation. Therefore, only keys that are programmed to the
vehicle can be used to start and operate the vehicle.
NOTE:
A key which has not been programmed is also considered an
invalid key, even if it is cut to fit the ignition switch lock
cylinder for that vehicle.
If the vehicle security light is on after the key is placed in the
MAR (ACC/ON/RUN) position, it indicates that there is a
problem with the electronics. All of the keys provided with your new vehicle have been
programmed to the vehicle electronics.
Replacement Keys
Only keys that have been programmed to the vehicle elec
-
tronics 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.
When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer System serviced,
bring all vehicle keys with you to an authorized dealer.
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is required for
authorized dealer replacement of keys. Duplication of keys
may be performed at an authorized dealer. CAUTION!
• Always remove the Sentry Key from the vehicle and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.
• 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.

VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors and
ignition for unauthorized operation. When the Vehicle Secu-
rity Alarm is activated, interior switches for door locks are
disabled. The system provides both audible and visible
signals. Every intrusion attempt causes six continuous alarm
cycles. Every alarm cycle lasts for 30 seconds. For 26 seconds,
the horn will sound, and the turn signal lights will flash. For
four seconds, it will pause. After a maximum of 10 alarm
cycles, only the turn signal lights will flash until the next
alarm activation.
To Arm The System
To arm the system, the Vehicle Security Alarm will set when
you use the key fob to lock the doors. If a door or the hood is
not properly shut, the alarm system will not be armed.
To Disarm The System
Use the key fob to unlock the door and disarm the system.
The Vehicle Security Alarm will also disarm if a
programmed Sentry Key is inserted into the ignition switch.
To exit the alarm mode, push the key fob unlock button, or
insert a programmed Sentry Key into the ignition switch.The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your
vehicle. However, you can create conditions where the
system will give you a false alarm. If one of the previously
described arming sequences has occurred, the Vehicle Secu-
rity Alarm will arm regardless of whether you are in the
vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle and open a door,
the alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Secu-
rity Alarm.
Rearming Of The System
If the system has not been disabled, the Vehicle Security
Alarm will rearm itself after the 15 additional minutes of
turn lamps flashing. If the condition which initiated the
alarm is still present, the system will ignore that condition
and monitor the remaining doors and ignition.
Security System Manual Override
The Vehicle Security Alarm will not arm/disarm if you lock/
unlock the doors using the manual door lock plunger.
