NOTE:
Used batteries may be harmful to the envi-
ronment if not disposed of correctly. Always
dispose of used batteries by specialized
battery 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.
NOTE:
When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer
System serviced, bring all vehicle keys with
you to an authorized dealer.
IGNITION SWITCH
Ignition Node Module (IGNM) — If
Equipped
The Ignition Node Module (IGNM) operates
similar to an ignition switch. It has four oper -
ating positions: three with detents and one
that is spring-loaded. The detent positions
are OFF, ACC, and ON/RUN. The START
position is a spring-loaded momentary contact position. When released from the
START position, the switch automatically
returns to the ON/RUN position.
Ignition Switch
Keyless Enter-N-Go (Ignition) — If
Equipped
This feature allows the driver to operate the
ignition switch with the push of a button as
long as the key fob is in the passenger
compartment.
The push button ignition operating modes
are OFF, ACC, ON/RUN, and START.
NOTE:
If the ignition switch does not change with
the push of a button, the key fob may have a
low or depleted battery. In this situation, a
back up method can be used to operate the
ignition switch. Put the nose side (side oppo -
site of the emergency key) of the key fob
against the START/STOP ignition button and
push to operate the ignition switch.
1 — OFF
2 — ACC (Accessory)
3 — ON/RUN
4 — START
WARNING!
Never remove the mechanical key while
the vehicle is moving, as the steering
wheel will automatically lock as soon as
the key is turned. This also applies to
vehicles that are being towed.

Heated Steering Wheel — If Equipped
The steering wheel contains a heating
element that helps warm your hands in cold
weather. The heated steering wheel has only
one temperature setting. Once the heated
steering wheel has been turned on, it will
stay on for an average of 80 minutes before
automatically shutting off. This time will vary
based on environmental temperatures. The
heated steering wheel can shut off early or
may not turn on when the steering wheel is
already warm.

ALL of the head restraints MUST be
reinstalled in the vehicle to properly
protect the occupants. Follow the
re-installation instructions above prior to
operating the vehicle or occupying a seat.

Do not adjust the steering column while
driving. Adjusting the steering column
while driving or driving with the steering
column unlocked, could cause the driver
to lose control of the vehicle. Failure to
follow this warning may result in serious
injury or death.
