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 elec -
tronics 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 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 autho -
rized dealer.
 Keys must be ordered to the correct key cut to match 
the vehicle locks.
KeySense Features — If Equipped
This feature provides the vehicle owner with the ability to 
customize vehicle settings that can be applied to 
determine the driving experience for other drivers of the 
vehicle. The vehicle settings are protected by a unique 
4-digit PIN, which the vehicle owner creates when 
accessing the specific settings for the first time.
KeySense also has additional features that are always 
enabled when the specific key fob is in use that cannot be 
set by the vehicle owner. While this specific key fob is in 
use, the vehicle will respond accordingly to the customized 
vehicle settings and mandatory features. This includes  enhanced driving assistance features, increased driver 
alerts, and the locking of certain optional features. These 
settings can be selected within the Uconnect system  
Úpage 157.
KeySense Key Fob
KeySense Unique Splash Screen
At vehicle start-up, the KeySense splash screen should 
inform the driver that the vehicle will be functioning in 
KeySense mode when the KeySense key fob is in use.
Start Up Display Features
Unique splash screen graphic
 Telltale   illuminated
 After unique splash screen, and after stored messages 
are cycled, then start-up KeySense messages (Range & 
Max Speed) are displayed
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 swallowed or 
placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate 
medical attention.
 Keep new and used batteries away from children. If 
the battery compartment does not close securely, 
stop using the product and keep it away from chil -
dren.
WARNING!
 Always remove the key fobs from the vehicle and lock 
all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.
 For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ Igni -
tion, always remember to place the ignition in the 
OFF position when exiting the vehicle.

The following features are always enabled when this key 
fob is in use:

are not fastened
 Consistent seat belt unfastened chime
 Maximum radio volume limited to 15 out of 39
 Daytime Running Lights
 Headlights On With Wipers
 Rain Sensing Wipers

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 a key fob, keyless push button ignition 
and a Radio Frequency (RF) receiver to prevent 
unauthorized vehicle operation. Therefore, only key fobs 
that are programmed to the vehicle can be used to start 
and operate the vehicle. The system cannot reprogram a 
key fob obtained from another vehicle. After placing the ignition in the ON/RUN position, the 
Vehicle Security Light will turn on for three seconds for a 
bulb 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 attempted to start the engine with 
an invalid key fob. In the event that a valid key fob is used 
to start the engine but there is an issue with the vehicle 
electronics, the engine will start and 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.
All of the key fobs provided with your new vehicle have 
been programmed to the vehicle electronics  
Úpage 312.
NOTE:A key fob that has not been programmed is also 
considered an invalid key.
IGNITION SWITCH  
KEYLESS ENTER ‘N GO™ IGNITION
If applicable, refer to the “Hybrid Supplement” for 
additional information.
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 START/STOP ignition button has four operating 
positions; three of which are labeled and will illuminate 
when in position. The three positions are OFF, ACC, and 
ON/RUN. The fourth position is START. During START, RUN 
will illuminate.
START/STOP Ignition Button
CAUTION!
The Sentry Key Immobilizer system is not compatible 
with some aftermarket Remote Start systems. Use of 
these systems may result in vehicle starting problems 
and loss of security protection.

In case 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 backup method can be used to 
operate the ignition switch. Put the nose side (side 
opposite of the emergency key) of the key fob against the 
START/STOP ignition button and push to operate the 
ignition switch.
Backup Starting Method
 NOTE:
The key fob may not be detected by the vehicle Keyless 
Enter ‘n Go™ system if it is located next to a mobile 
phone, laptop or other electronic device; these devices 
may block the key fob’s wireless signal and prevent the 
Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ system from starting the vehicle.
 For the proper engine starting procedure, see  
Úpage 111.
REMOTE START — IF EQUIPPED   
If applicable, refer to the “Hybrid Supplement” for 
additional information.
This system uses the key fob to start the engine 
conveniently from outside the vehicle while still 
maintaining security. The system has a range 
of 328 ft (100 m).
Remote Start is used to defrost windows in cold weather 
and to reach a comfortable climate in all ambient 
conditions before the customer enters the vehicle.
NOTE:Obstructions between the vehicle and key fob may reduce 
this range  Úpage 312.
WARNING!
 When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key fob 
from the vehicle and lock your vehicle.
 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 
a location accessible to children, and do not leave 
the Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ Ignition in the ON/RUN 
position. A child could operate power windows, other 
controls, or move the vehicle.
 Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehi -
cles in hot weather. Interior heat buildup may cause 
serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
An unlocked car is an invitation for thieves. Always 
remove the key fobs from the vehicle and lock all doors 
when leaving the vehicle unattended.
