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. Opera-
tion is automatic, regardless of whether the vehicle is
locked or unlocked.
The system uses a key fob with a Keyless Push Button
Ignition, 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
32 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

operate the vehicle. The system will not allow the
engine to crank if an invalid key fob tries to start the
engine.
After placing the ignition to the ON/RUN position, if
there is a problem with the system, the vehicle security
light will turn on. This condition will result in the
engine being shut off after two seconds.
Should this occur, have the vehicle serviced as soon as
possible by an authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
•Do not make modifications or alterations to the
immobilizer system. Modifications or alterations
to the immobilization system may result in a loss
of security protection.
• The Sentry Key Immobilizer system is not com-
patible with some aftermarket remote starting
systems. Use of these systems may result in
vehicle starting problems and loss of security
protection.
