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 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  
Úpage 312.
NOTE:A key fob that has not been programmed is also 
considered an invalid key.
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.

POWER INVERTER — IF EQUIPPED 
There is a 115 Volt, 150 W Power Inverter outlet located 
on the right side of the vehicle, before the third row of 
seats to convert DC current to AC current. The Power 
Inverter can power cellular phones, electronics and other 
low power devices requiring up to 150 W. Certain video 
game consoles will exceed this power limit, as will most 
power tools.
Power Inverter
The Power Inverter turns on when the device is plugged in, 
and the ignition is in ON/RUN position. It turns off when 
the device is unplugged or the ignition is no longer in ON/
RUN position.
The Power Inverter is designed with built-in overload 
protection. If the power rating of 150 W is exceeded, the 
Power Inverter shuts down. Once the electrical device has 
been removed from the Power Inverter, it resets. To avoid 
overloading the circuit, check the power ratings on 
electrical devices prior to using the Power Inverter.
WIRELESS CHARGING PAD — 
I
F EQUIPPED
Wireless Charging Pad Location
Your vehicle may be equipped with a 15W 3A Qi wireless 
charging pad located inside of the storage area below the 
climate controls. This charging pad is designed to 
wirelessly charge your Qi enabled mobile phone. Qi is a 
standard that allows wireless charging of your mobile 
phone.
Your mobile phone must be designed for Qi wireless 
charging. If the phone is not equipped with Qi wireless 
charging functionality, an aftermarket sleeve or a 
specialized back plate can be purchased from your mobile 
phone provider or a local electronics retailer. Please see 
your phone’s owner’s manual for further information.
The wireless charging pad is equipped with an anti-slip 
mat to hold your mobile phone in place, and an LED 
indicator light.
CAUTION!
 Many accessories that can be plugged in draw power 
from the vehicle's battery, even when not in use (i.e., 
cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long 
enough, the vehicle's battery will discharge suffi -
ciently to degrade battery life and/or prevent the 
engine from starting.
 Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers, 
vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade the 
battery even more quickly. Only use these intermit -
tently and with greater caution.
 After the use of high power draw accessories, or long 
periods of the vehicle not being started (with acces -
sories still plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a 
sufficient length of time to allow the generator to 
recharge the vehicle's battery.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
 Do not insert any objects into the receptacles.
 Do not touch with wet hands.
 Close the lid when not in use.
 If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric 
shock and failure.
