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.
All of the key fobs provided with your new vehicle 
have been programmed to the vehicle electronics  
Ú
page 387.
IGNITION SWITCH  
KEYLESS ENTER ‘N GO™ IGNITION
If applicable, refer to the “Hybrid Supplement” 
for additional information.
This feature allows the driver to operate the 
ignition switch with the push of a button as long as 
the key fob is in the passenger compartment.
The START/STOP ignition button has four 
operating positions; three of which are labeled and 
will illuminate when in position. The three positions 
are OFF, ACC, and ON/RUN. The fourth position is 
START. During START, RUN will illuminate.
CAUTION!
The Sentry Key Immobilizer system is not 
compatible with some aftermarket Remote Start 
systems. Use of these systems may result in 
vehicle starting problems and loss of security 
protection.

WARNING!
When leaving the vehicle, always remove the 
key fob from the vehicle and lock your vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with 
access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended 
is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child 
or others could be seriously or fatally injured. 
Children should be warned not to touch the 
parking brake, brake pedal or the gear 
selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, 
or in a location accessible to children, and do 
not leave the Keyless Enter ‘n Go™ Ignition in 
the ON/RUN position. A child could operate 
power windows, other controls, or move the 
vehicle.
Do not leave children or animals inside parked 
vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat buildup 
may cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
An unlocked car is an invitation. Always remove 
the key fobs from the vehicle and lock all doors 
when leaving the vehicle unattended.

valid Remote Start request.
REMOTE START FRONT DEFROST 
A
CTIVATION — IF EQUIPPED
When Remote Start is active, and the outside 
ambient temperature is 40°F (4.5°C) or below, the 
system will automatically activate front defrost for 
15 minutes or less. The time is dependent on the 
ambient temperature. Once the timer expires, the 
system will automatically adjust the settings 
depending on ambient conditions. See “Remote 
Start Comfort Systems — If Equipped” in the next 
section for detailed operation.
WARNING!
Do not start or run an engine in a closed 
garage or confined area. Exhaust gas contains 
Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and 
colorless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous and 
can cause serious injury or death when 
inhaled.
Keep key fobs away from children. Operation 
of the Remote Start system, windows, door 
locks or other controls could cause serious 
injury or death.

The Vehicle Security system remains armed 
during power liftgate entry. Pushing the liftgate 
button will not disarm the Vehicle Security 
system. If someone enters the vehicle through 
the liftgate and opens any door, the alarm will 
sound.
When the Vehicle Security system is armed, the 
interior power door lock switches will not unlock 
the doors. The Vehicle Security system is designed to protect 
your vehicle. However, you can create conditions 
where the system will give you a false alarm. If one 
of the previously described arming sequences has 
occurred, the Vehicle Security system 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 system.
If the Vehicle Security system is armed and the 
battery becomes disconnected, the Vehicle 
Security system 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 system.
REARMING OF THE SYSTEM
If something triggers the alarm and no action is 
taken to disarm it, the Vehicle Security system will 
turn the horn off after a 29 second cycle (with 5 
seconds between cycles and up to 8 cycles if the 
trigger remains active) and then rearm itself.
