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 and a Keyless Push
Bu
tton 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. If an invalid key fob
is used to attempt to start and operate the
v e

hicle, the system will not allow the engine to
crank. If an invalid key fob is used to start the
engine, the system will shut the engine off in
two seconds.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 17

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
r e

mains 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
b u

lb check, it indicates that someone used an
invalid key fob to start the engine. Either of these
conditions will result in the engine being shut off
after two seconds.

If the vehicle security light turns on during
no
rmal 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
v e

hicle have been programmed to the vehicle
electronics.
KEY PROGRAMMING
Programming key fobs may be performed at an
authorized dealer.
REPLACEMENT KEYS
NOTE:
Only key fobs that are programmed to the
v e

hicle 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.
NOTE:
Duplication of key fobs may be performed at an
a u

thorized dealer. This procedure consists of
programming a blank key fob to the vehicle
electronics. A blank key fob is one that has
never been programmed. When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer system
s
e

rviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to an
authorized dealer.
