Replacement Keys
NOTE:Only keys that have been programmed to the
vehicle electronics can be used to start the vehicle. Once
a Sentry Key has been programmed to a vehicle, it cannot
be programmed to any other vehicle.
NOTE: When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer Sys-
tem serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to an
authorized dealer.
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 licence-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,
including interference that may cause undesired op-
eration.
NOTE: Changes or modifications not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user ’s authority to operate the equipment.
VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors
for unauthorized entry and the ignition switch for unau-
thorized operation. While the Vehicle Security Alarm is
armed, interior switches for door locks and liftgate
release are disabled. If something triggers the alarm, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will provide the following au-
dible and visible signals: the horn will pulse, the park
lamps and/or turn signals will flash, and the Vehicle
Security Light on the instrument panel will flash.

To Arm The System
1. Remove the key from the ignition switch and get outof the vehicle.
2. Lock the door using either the Central Lock/Unlock switch or the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
and close all doors.
3. The horn will sound and the Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will switch on for approxi-
mately 3 seconds. This shows that the Vehicle Security
Alarm is arming. During this period, if a door is
opened, the ignition switch is turned to ON/RUN, or
the power door locks are unlocked in any manner, the
Vehicle Security Alarm will automatically disarm.
After approximately 3 seconds, the Vehicle Security
Light will flash. This shows that the Vehicle Security
Alarm is fully armed. The activation of the Vehicle Security Alarm is followed
by a self-diagnosis stage. If a fault is detected during the
self-diagnosis stage, the horn will sound a second time.
If the horn sounds a second time, check that all doors,
hood and liftgate are closed correctly, then rearm the
system.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm sounds the horn a second
time even when all doors, hood and liftgate are correctly
closed, a fault has occurred in the operation of the
system. Contact your authorized dealer.
To Disarm The System
Push UNLOCK on the RKE transmitter, or insert the key
into the ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to
the ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
The Vehicle Security Alarm will not disarm when
the metal insert of the key is used on a single door lock
cylinder.
16 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your
vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the
Vehicle Security Alarm will arm unexpectedly. If you
remain in the vehicle and lock the doors with the RKE
transmitter, once the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed,
when you pull the door handle to exit, the alarm will
sound. If this occurs, push the UNLOCK button on the
RKE transmitter to disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
Central Lock/Unlock (Switch Safe Lock Device) —
If Equipped
This safety device prevents the operation of the interior
door handles and the door locking/unlocking button.
It prevents the opening of the doors from inside the
passenger compartment, serving as an obstacle to
break-in attempts (e.g. broken window).
We recommend that you activate the Safe Lock device
each time you park your car.

This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver
Knee Air Bag mounted in the instrument panel below the
steering column. The Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag
provides enhanced protection during a frontal impact by
working together with the seat belts, pretensioners, and
Advanced Front Air Bags.

It is advised to erase all channels before you sell or turn
in your vehicle.

Troubleshooting Tips
If you are having trouble programming HomeLink, here
are some of the most common solutions:
•Replace the battery in the original hand-held transmit-
ter.
• Push the LEARN button on the Garage Door Opener
to complete the training for a Rolling Code. •
Did you unplug the device for programming and
remember to plug it back in?

WARNING!
• Vehicle exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a dan-
gerous gas. Do not run your vehicle in the garage
while programming the transceiver. Exhaust gas
can cause serious injury or death.
• Your motorized door or gate will open and close
while you are programming the universal trans-
ceiver. Do not program the transceiver if people,
pets or other objects are in the path of the door or
