Key-In-Ignition Reminder

Opening the driver’s door when the Key Fob is in the

ignition and the ignition switch position is OFF or ACC,

a chime will sound to remind you to remove the Key Fob.
NOTE:

• ЉKeyedЉ Ignition systems will chime in OFF or ACC

when the driver door is open.

• “KeylessЉ Ignition systems will chime in ACC or RUN

when the driver door is open.

• If equipped with Electronic Vehicle Information Center

(EVIC)/Driver Information Display (DID), the EVIC

will display “Key In Ignition.”

SENTRY KEY®

The Sentry Key® Immobilizer System prevents unau-

thorized 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, an Ignition Node Mod-

ule, Keyless Ignition Node (KIN) and a 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 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.
NOTE:

A Key Fob that has not been programmed is also

considered an invalid key.
