WARNING!(Continued)
•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.
Locking Doors With A RKE KeyYou can insert the RKE Key with either side up.
To lock the door, turn the RKE Key to the right.
To unlock the door, turn the RKE Key to the left.
Refer to ”Body Lubrication” in Maintenance
Procedures” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for
further information.
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.

placement or additional RKE Key Fobs for your
vehicle.
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.

light switch is off, the parking brake is off, the
turn signal is off, and the gear selector is in any
position except PARK.
Lights-On ReminderIf the headlights or parking lights are left on after
the ignition is turned OFF, a chime will sound to
alert the driver when the driver’s door is opened.

The front fog light switch is on the
multifunction lever. To activate the
front fog lights, turn on the position
lights or the high/low beam head-
lights and pull out the end of the
multifunction lever.
Rear Fog Lights

Turn SignalsMove the multifunction lever up or down and the
arrows on each side of the instrument cluster
flash to show proper operation of the front and
rear turn signal lights.
If either light remains on and does not flash, or
there is a very fast flash rate, check for a
defective outside light bulb. If an indicator fails
to light when the lever is moved, it would
suggest that the indicator bulb is defective.
