SENTRY KEY
The Sentry Key Immobilizer system prevents
unauthorized 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, keyless push button
ignition and a Radio Frequency (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 cannot reprogram a key
fob obtained from another vehicle.
After placing the ignition switch in 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
attempted to start the engine with an invalid key
fob. In the event that a valid key fob is used to
start the engine but there is an issue with the
vehicle electronics, the engine will start and
shut off after two seconds.
If the vehicle security light turns on during
normal vehicle operation (vehicle running for
longer than 10 seconds), 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:
It is not necessary to move the temperature
settings for cold or hot vehicles. The system
automatically adjusts the temperature,
mode, and blower speed to provide comfort
as quickly as possible.
The temperature can be displayed in U.S. or
Metric units by selecting the U.S./Metric
customer-programmable feature. Refer to
the “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for
further information.
To provide you with maximum comfort in the

warms up. The blower will increase in speed
and transition into Auto mode.
Manual Operation Override
This system offers a full complement of manual
override features. The AUTO symbol in the front
Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) display
will be turned off when the system is being used
in the manual mode.
Operating Tips
NOTE:
Refer to the chart at the end of this section for
suggested control settings for various weather
conditions.
Summer Operation
The engine cooling system must be protected
with a high-quality antifreeze coolant to provide
proper corrosion protection and to protect
against engine overheating. OAT coolant
(conforming to MS.90032) is recommended.
Refer to “Fluids And Lubricants” in “Technical
Specifications” for proper coolant selection.
Winter Operation
To ensure the best possible heater and
defroster performance, make sure the engine
cooling system is functioning properly and the
proper amount, type, and concentration of
coolant is used. Refer to “Fluids And
Lubricants” in “Technical Specifications” for
proper coolant selection. Use of the air
Recirculation mode during Winter months is not
recommended, because it may cause window
fogging.
Vacation/Storage
Before you store your vehicle, or keep it out of
service (i.e., vacation) for two weeks or more,
run the air conditioning system at idle for about
five minutes, in fresh air with the blower setting
on high. This will ensure adequate system
lubrication to minimize the possibility of
compressor damage when the system is started
again.
Window Fogging
Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside in
mild, rainy, and/or humid weather. To clear the
windows, select Defrost or Mix mode and
increase the front blower speed. Do not use the
Recirculation mode without A/C (air
conditioning) for long periods, as fogging may
occur.

Oil Life Reset
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil
change indicator system. The “Oil Change
Required” message will display for approxi-
mately five seconds after a single chime has
sounded, to indicate it is time to change the
engine oil. The engine oil change indicator
system is duty cycle based, which means the
engine oil change interval may fluctuate,
dependent upon your personal driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to
display each time the ignition is cycled to the
ON/RUN position.
To reset the oil change indicator after
performing the scheduled maintenance,
refer to the following procedure.
NOTE:
This procedure should only be performed after
scheduled maintenance is completed. Reset -
ting oil life other than when associated with a
scheduled maintenance may result in damage
due to not properly maintaining the engine oil. Oil Life Reset

1. Without pressing the brake pedal, push the
ENGINE START/STOP button and place the
ignition in the ON/RUN position (do not
start the vehicle.)

2. Push the OK button to enter the instrument
cluster display menu screen.
3. Push and release the down arrow button to
access the ”Vehicle Info” menu screen.
4. Push the left arrow button or right arrow
button to access the “Oil Life” submenu.

2. Fully press the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds. 3. Without pushing the brake pedal, place the
ignition in the OFF/LOCK position.
NOTE:
If the indicator message illuminates when you
start the vehicle, the oil change indicator
system did not reset. If necessary, repeat this
procedure.
Fuel And Oil Refresh Mode
Since it is possible to operate this vehicle for
extended periods of time without running the
gas engine, the fuel within the vehicle’s fuel
tank can become stale or the engine oil’s
lubricating properties can be reduced. To
prevent engine and/or fuel system damage due
to stale fuel, as well as, maintaining internal
engine lubrication, this vehicle is equipped with
a “Fuel and Oil Refresh Mode”.

The vehicle will automatically enter into the Fuel and
Oil Refresh Mode to minimize potential for stale
fuel, and to ensure lubrication of internal engine
components. When operating in this mode, the gas
engine will run to provide vehicle propulsion
(electric only operation is inhibited). A message will
be displayed in the instrument cluster whenever
Fuel and Oil Refresh Mode is active.

3

20_RU_OM_EN_US_t.book Page 129

130GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

The vehicle will automatically exit the Fuel and Oil
Refresh Mode when conditions have been
satisfied. If the vehicle enters Fuel and Oil
Refresh Mode, due to fuel which has been in the
fuel tank for a long period of time (becoming stale
fuel), the engine will run whenever the vehicle is
operational (no electric only operation) until the
low fuel level warning is activated. It is also
possible to exit the Fuel and Oil Refresh Mode
sooner by adding a minimum of 4 gallons of new
fuel to the vehicle’s fuel tank.
NOTE:
If the vehicle enters Fuel and Oil Refresh Mode
to maintain engine lubrication, adding fuel will
not exit the mode sooner.
If the vehicle enters Fuel and Oil Refresh Mode
to maintain engine lubrication properties, the
engine may run for a period of up to 20 minutes
when fully warm whenever the vehicle is
operational (no electric only operation). If the
vehicle is shut down before conditions to exit
the refresh mode have been satisfied, the
engine may run for additional time on
subsequent trips.NOTE:
Frequent short trips at low ambient tempera
-
ture conditions are more likely to trigger the
lubrication based mode.
