10 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

Key Fob
The Key Fob operates the ignition switch. It also contains
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and an
emergency key, which stores in the rear of the Key Fob.
The emergency key allows for entry into the vehicle
should the battery in the vehicle or the Key Fob go dead.
The emergency key is also for locking the glove box. You
can keep the emergency key with you when valet park-
ing.
NOTE:Entering a vehicle using the emergency key with
the theft alarm armed, will results in the alarm sounding.
Insert the Key Fob (even if the Key Fob battery is dead)
into the WIN to disarm theft alarm.

To remove the emergency key, slide the mechanical latch
at the top of the Key Fob sideways with your thumb and
then pull the key out with your other hand.
NOTE:You can insert the double-sided emergency key
into the lock cylinders with either side up.Removing Key Fob From Ignition
Place the shift lever in PARK. Turn the Key Fob to the
OFF position and then remove the Key Fob.
With the Keyless Go system, the EVIC will display the
ignition switch position “OFF/ACC/RUN”. Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) — If
Equipped” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel”
for further information.
NOTE: The power window switches, radio, power
sunroof (if equipped), and ignition-powered power out-
lets will remain active for up to 60 minutes after the
ignition switch is turned to the LOCK position. Opening
either door will cancel this feature. The time for this
feature is programmable. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC)/Personal Settings (Customer-
Programmable Features)” in “Understanding Your In-
strument Panel” for further information.
Emergency Key Removal
14 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING!
Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving
unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a
number of reasons. A child or others could be seri-
ously or fatally injured. Do not leave the Key Fob in
the ignition or a vehicle equipped with Keyless Go in
the ACC or RUN mode. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
CAUTION!
An unlocked car is an invitation to thieves. Always
remove Key Fob from the ignition and lock all doors
when leaving the vehicle unattended.
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,
sounds a signal to remind you to remove the Key Fob.
NOTE:The Key-In-Ignition reminder only sounds
when the Key Fob is placed in the OFF or ACC ignition
position.
If your vehicle is equipped with Keyless Go, opening the
driver’s door when the vehicle’s ignition switch is placed
in ACC or RUN (engine stopped) will cause the reminder
chime to sound. Refer to “Starting Procedures” in “Start-
ing And Operating” for further information.
SENTRY KEY
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System prevents unautho-
rized 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.
2
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 15

The system uses Key Fob with factory-mated Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and Wireless Ignition
Node (WIN) 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.
After placing the ignition switch in the 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. This
condition will result in the engine being shut off after two
seconds.
If the Vehicle Security Light turns on during normal
vehicle operation (vehicle running for longer than 10 sec-
onds), 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.NOTE:
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System is not
compatible with aftermarket remote starting systems.
Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting
problems and loss of security protection.
All of the Key Fobs provided with your new vehicle have
been programmed to the vehicle electronics.
Replacement Keys
NOTE: 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.
CAUTION!
•Always remove the Key Fobs from the vehicle and
lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unat-
tended.

16 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

Rearming Of The System
If something triggers the alarm, and no action is taken to
disarm it, the Vehicle Security Alarm will turn the horn
off after three minutes, turn all of the visual signals off
after 15 minutes, and then the Vehicle Security Alarm will
rearm itself.
To Arm The System
Vehicles Not Equipped with Keyless Go
Remove the key from the ignition switch and either press
a power door LOCK switch while the driver or passenger
door is open or press the LOCK button on the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. After the last door is
closed, or if both doors and the trunk are closed, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will arm itself in about 16 sec-
onds. During that time, the Vehicle Security Light will
flash. If it does not illuminate, the Vehicle Security Alarm
is not arming. In addition, if you open a door during the
arming period, the Vehicle Security Alarm will cancel thearming process. If you wish to rearm the Vehicle Security
Alarm after closing the door, you must repeat one of the
previously-described arming sequences.
Vehicles Equipped with Keyless Go
Press the Keyless Go Start/Stop button until the Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) indicates that
the vehicle ignition is
OFF(refer to “Starting Proce-
dures” in “Starting And Operating” for further informa-
tion). Then either press the power door LOCK switch
while the driver or passenger door is open, or press the
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter LOCK button.
To Disarm The System
Vehicles Not Equipped with Keyless Go
Either press the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter
or insert a valid ignition key into the ignition switch.
18 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE:
•The driver’s door key cylinder and the trunk button on
the RKE transmitter cannot arm or disarm the Vehicle
Security Alarm.
•The Vehicle Security Alarm remains armed during
trunk entry. Pressing the TRUNK button will not
disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm. If someone enters
the vehicle through the trunk, and opens any door, the
alarm will sound.
•When the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, the interior
power door lock switches will not unlock the doors.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your
vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the
Vehicle Security Alarm will give you a false alarm. If one
of the previously-described arming sequences has oc-
curred, the Vehicle Security Alarm will arm regardless of
whether you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed and the battery
becomes disconnected, the Vehicle Security Alarm will
remain armed when the battery is reconnected. The
exterior lights will flash, and the horn will sound. If this
occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
Vehicles Equipped with Keyless Go
Either press the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter,
press the Keyless Go Start/Stop button (requires at least
one valid Key Fob in the vehicle), or insert a valid Key
Fob into the ignition switch (if the Start/Stop button is
removed) and rotate it to the RUN position.
Tamper Alert
If something has triggered the Vehicle Security Alarm in
your absence, the horn will sound three times when you
disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm. Check the vehicle for
tampering.

ILLUMINATED ENTRY
The courtesy lights will turn on when you press the
UNLOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter or open any door.
The lights will fade to off after approximately 30 seconds
or they will immediately fade to off once the ignition
switch is placed in RUN from the OFF position.
NOTE:None of the courtesy lights will operate if the
dimmer control is in the “defeat” position (extreme
downward position), unless the overhead map/reading
lights are turned on manually.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)
The RKE system allows you to lock or unlock the doors,
open the trunk, or activate the Panic Alarm from dis-
tances up to approximately 66 ft (20 m) using a hand-held
Key Fob with RKE transmitter. The RKE transmitter does
not need to be pointed at the vehicle to activate the
system. NOTE:
Inserting the Key Fob with RKE transmitter into
the ignition switch disables all buttons on that RKE
transmitter; however, the buttons on the remaining RKE
transmitters will continue to work. Driving at speeds
5 mph (8 km/h) and above disables all RKE transmitter
buttons for all RKE transmitters.
