A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS
Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system. This system
consists of a key fob with Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Key
Fob and a Keyless Push Button Ignition.
Keyless Enter-N-Go Feature
This vehicle is equipped with the Keyless Enter-N-Go
ignition feature.
Keyless Push Button Ignition
This feature allows the driver to operate the ignition with
the push of a button, as long as the Remote Keyless Entry
key fob is in the passenger compartment.
The Keyless Push Button Ignition has three operating
positions, which are labeled and will illuminate when in
position. The three positions are OFF, ACC, and ON/RUN.
NOTE:In case the ignition does not change with the push
of a button, the key fob may have a low or dead battery.
Key Fob
The key fob also contains the Remote Keyless Entry key fob
and an emergency key, which stores in the rear of the key
fob.
The emergency key allows for entry into the vehicle should
the battery in the vehicle or the key fob go dead. You can
keep the emergency key with you when valet parking.

General Information
The following regulatory statement applies to all Radio
Frequency (RF) devices equipped in this vehicle:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and
with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2.
This device must accept any interference received, includ-
ing interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE:Changes or modifications not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user ’s authority to operate the equipment.
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, regard-
less of whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked.
The system uses a factory-mated key fob, a Keyless Push
Button Ignition and a RF receiver to prevent unauthorized
vehicle operation. Therefore, only key fobs that are pro-
grammed to the vehicle can be used to start and operate the
vehicle. The system will not allow the engine to crank with
an invalid key fob. After placing the ignition to 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 system. In
addition, if the light begins to flash after the bulb check, it
indicates that someone tried to use 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 normal vehicle
operation (vehicle running for longer than 10 seconds), it
indicates that there is a fault in the system. 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 compat-
ible with some aftermarket remote starting systems.
Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting
problems and loss of security protection.
12 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM
The vehicle security alarm monitors the doors, liftgate, and
hood for unauthorized entry and the ignition for unauthor-
ized operation. If something triggers the alarm, the vehicle
security alarm will prevent the vehicle from starting. It will
also sound the horn and flash the park lights, and taillights.
Rearming Of The System
If something triggers the alarm, and no action is taken to
disarm it, the vehicle security alarm will turn off the horn
after three minutes, turn off all of the visual signals
(flashing lights) after 15 minutes, and then rearm itself.
To Arm The System
Follow these steps to arm the vehicle security alarm:
1. Make sure the vehicle ignition system is in the OFFposition.
2. Perform one of the following methods to lock the vehicle:
• Push the lock button on the interior power door lock
switch with the driver and/or passenger door open.
• Push the lock button on the key fob.
3. If any doors are open, close them.
Entering The Liftgate With The System Armed
NOTE: Using the key to open the liftgate while the vehicle
security alarm is armed will trigger the alarm.
Push the liftgate release button on the key fob twice to
allow access without triggering the alarm or having to
disarm the vehicle security alarm. Then, within 30 seconds,
open the liftgate by using the key cylinder or the liftgate
release switch located in the exterior liftgate handle.
To Disarm The System
The vehicle security alarm can be disarmed using any of
the following methods:
• Push the unlock button on the Remote Keyless Entry key
fob.
• Cycle the vehicle ignition system out of the OFF posi-
tion:
• Push the Keyless Enter-N-Go Start/Stop button (re-
quires at least one valid key fob in the vehicle).

ment for jump-starting. Connecting The Jumper Cables
1. Wear eye protection and remove any metal jewelry such
as watchbands or bracelets that might make an inadver-
tent electrical contact.
2. When boost is provided by a battery in another vehicle, park that vehicle within booster cable reach, but without
allowing the vehicles to touch one another.

CAUTION!
Failure to follow these procedures could result in
damage to the charging system of the booster vehicle
or the discharged vehicle.
6. Connect the positive (+)end of the jumper cable to the
remote positive (+)post of the discharged vehicle. 7. Connect the opposite end of the positive
(+)jumper
