Programming And Requesting 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.
Only key fobs that are programmed to the
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 keys may be performed at an
authorized dealer. The VIN is required for
authorized dealer replacement of keys.
NOTE:
When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer system
serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to an
authorized dealer.
Keys must be ordered to the correct key cut to
match the vehicle locks.
WARNING!
The integrated key fob contains a coin cell
battery. Do not ingest the battery; there is a
chemical burn hazard. If the coin cell battery is
swallowed, it can cause severe internal burns
in just two hours and can lead to death.
If you think a battery may have been swal-
lowed or placed inside any part of the body,
seek immediate medical attention.
Keep new and used batteries away from chil -
dren. If the battery compartment does not
close securely, stop using the product and
keep it away from children.
WARNING!
Always remove the key fobs from the vehicle
and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle
unattended.
Always remember to place the ignition in the
OFF position.

12GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
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 electronic 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.
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.
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
Úpage 245.
IGNITION SWITCH

1. Place the gear selector in PARK.

2. Rotate the key to the STOP (OFF/LOCK)
position.
3. Remove the key from the ignition switch lock cylinder.

Ignition Switch Positions

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.
1 — AVV (START)
2 — MAR (ACC/ON/RUN)
3 — STOP (OFF/LOCK)
WARNING!

Before exiting a vehicle, always shift the trans -
mission 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 transmis -
sion is not in PARK, a warning message will
appear on the cluster which indicates you to shift
the transmission into PARK and then you can
remove the key within 15 seconds. If 15 seconds
expire, you have to rotate the key from the STOP
(OFF/LOCK) position to the MAR (ACC/ON/RUN)
position and come back to the STOP (OFF/LOCK)
position in order to remove the key.

Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing chil -
dren 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 a location 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 buildup
may cause serious injury or death.
