WARNING!

(Continued)

Do not leave children or animals inside parked

vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat build-up may
cause serious injury or death.

CAUTION!

An unlocked car is an invitation to thieves. Always
remove the Key Fob from vehicle, place the ignition
in the OFF and lock all doors when leaving the
vehicle unattended.

SENTRY KEY®

The Sentry Key® Immobilizer system prevents unauthor-

ized 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 with a factory-mated Remote

Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter, a Keyless Ignition Node

(KIN) and a RF receiver to prevent unauthorized vehicle

operation. Therefore, only Key Fobs that are pro-

grammed to the vehicle can be used to start and operate

the vehicle. The system will not allow the engine to crank

if an invalid Key Fob is used to start and operate the

vehicle. The system will shut the engine off in two

seconds if an invalid Key Fob is used to start the engine.
After placing the ignition to 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 used an invalid Key Fob to start

the engine. Either of these conditions will result in the

engine being shut off after two seconds.
