1. Remove the emergency key by sliding the
mechanical latch on the back of the key fob
sideways with your thumb and then pulling the key
out with your other hand.
Emergency Key Removal
Emergency Key Removal
2. Separating key fob halves requires screw removal (if equipped), and gently prying the two halves of the key
fob apart. Make sure not to damage the seal during
removal.
3. Remove the battery by turning the back cover over (battery facing downward) and tapping it lightly on a
solid surface such as a table or similar, then replace
the battery. When replacing the battery, match the (+)
sign on the battery to the (+) sign on the inside of the
battery clip, located on the back cover. Avoid touching
the new battery with your fingers. Skin oils may cause
battery deterioration. If you touch a battery, clean it
with rubbing alcohol.
4. To assemble the key fob case, snap the two halves together, reposition and secure the screw.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.
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.
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.

1. Tachometer
Indicates the engine speed in
revolutions per minute (RPM x
1000).
2. Instrument Cluster Display The instrument cluster display features a driver
interactive display
Úpage 63.
3. Speedometer Indicates vehicle speed.
4. Temperature Gauge The temperature gauge shows engine coolant
temperature. Any reading within the normal range
indicates that the engine cooling system is oper -
ating satisfactorily.
The gauge will likely indicate a higher temperature
when driving in hot weather or up mountain
grades. It should not be allowed to exceed the
upper limits of the normal operating range. 5. Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge shows the level of fuel in the fuel
tank when the ignition is in the ON/RUN mode.
The fuel pump symbol points to the side
of the vehicle where the fuel door is
located
Úpage 113.
NOTE:The hard telltales will illuminate for a bulb check when the
ignition is first cycled.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY
Your vehicle may be equipped with an instrument cluster
display, which offers useful information to the driver. With
the ignition in the OFF mode, opening/closing of a door will
activate the display for viewing, and display the total miles
or kilometers in the odometer. The steering wheel
mounted controls allow you to scroll through and enter the
main menus and submenus.

Driving with a hot engine cooling system could damage
your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads “H” pull
over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air
conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into
the normal range. If the pointer remains on the “H”,
turn the engine off immediately and call an authorized
dealer for service.
