tings so that the system will allow/inhibit the ability
to lock the doors when one or more of them are open.
• Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in “Getting To
Know Your Instrument Panel” or “Uconnect Set-
tings” in “Multimedia” for further information.
Replacing The Battery In The Key Fob With
Remote Control
The recommended replacement battery is one CR2032
battery.
NOTE:
• Perchlorate Material — special handling may apply.
See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate

•Always remove the key fobs from the vehicle and
lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unat-
tended.
• For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go
— Ignition, always remember to place the igni-
tion in the OFF mode.
Duplication of key fobs may be performed at an autho-
rized 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.
NOTE: When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer Sys-
tem serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to an
authorized dealer.

WARNING!(Continued)
•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. Chil-
dren should be warned not to touch the parking
brake, brake pedal or the gear selector.

SENTRY KEY
The Sentry Key Immobilizer system prevents unauthor-
ized vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The
system does not need to be armed or activated. Opera-
tion is automatic, regardless of whether the vehicle is
locked or unlocked.
The system uses a key fob with a Keyless Push Button
Ignition, and a RF receiver to prevent unauthorized
vehicle operation. Therefore, only key fobs that are
programmed to the vehicle can be used to start and
32 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Page 35 of 476

operate the vehicle. The system will not allow the
engine to crank if an invalid key fob tries to start the
engine.
After placing the ignition to the ON/RUN position, if
there is a problem with the system, the vehicle security
light will turn on. This condition will result in the
engine being shut off after two seconds.
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 com-
patible with some aftermarket remote starting
systems. Use of these systems may result in
vehicle starting problems and loss of security
protection.

for unauthorized entry and if the ignition switch is
cycled to the ON/RUN position without a valid key.
While the vehicle security alarm is armed, interior
switches for door locks and liftgate release are disabled.

Child Locks
To provide a safer environment for small children
riding in the rear seats, the rear doors are equipped with
a Child-Protection Door Lock system.
To use the system, open each rear door, use a flat blade
screwdriver (or ignition key) and rotate the dial to the
lock or unlock position. When the system on a door is
engaged, that door can only be opened by using the
outside door handle even if the inside door lock is in the
unlocked position.

vehicle is in any forward gear or REVERSE and enters
stand-by mode when the vehicle is in PARK.
The BSM detection zone covers approximately one lane
width on both sides of the vehicle, 10 ft (3 m). The zone
length starts at the outside mirror and extends approxi-
mately 20 ft (6 m) beyond the rear bumper of the
vehicle. The BSM system monitors the detection zones
on both sides of the vehicle when the vehicle speed
reaches approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or higher and
will alert the driver of vehicles in these areas.
NOTE:
•The BSM system does NOT alert the driver about
rapidly approaching vehicles that are outside the
detection zones.
• If a trailer is connected to the vehicle, it is necessary
to deactivate BSM system manually by settings menu
to avoid a miss-detection. Refer to “Uconnect Set-
tings” in “Multimedia” for further information.
The area on the rear fascia where the radar sensors are
located must remain free of snow, ice, and dirt/road
contamination so that the BSM system can function properly. Do not block the radar sensors located on the
rear fascia with foreign objects (bumper stickers, bicycle
racks, etc.).
The BSM system notifies the driver of objects in the
detection zones by illuminating the BSM warning light
located in the outside mirrors in addition to sounding
an audible (chime) alert and reducing the radio volume.
Refer to “Modes Of Operation” in this section for
further information.
Rear Sensor Locations
60 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Page 66 of 476

Rear Cross Path (RCP)
The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is intended to aid the
driver when backing out of parking spaces where their
vision of oncoming vehicles may be blocked. Proceed
slowly and cautiously out of the parking space until the
rear end of the vehicle is exposed. The RCP system will
then have a clear view of the cross traffic and if an
oncoming vehicle is detected, alert the driver.
RCP monitors the rear detection zones on both sides of
the vehicle, for objects that are moving toward the side
of the vehicle with a minimum speed of approximately1 mph (2 km/h), to objects moving a maximum of
approximately 22 mph (35 km/h), such as in parking lot
situations.
NOTE:
In a parking lot situation, oncoming vehicles
can be obscured by vehicles parked on either side. If the
sensors are blocked by other structures or vehicles, the
system will not be able to alert the driver.
When RCP is on and the vehicle is in REVERSE, the
driver is alerted using both the visual and audible
alarms, including reducing the radio volume.
WARNING!
RCP is not a back up aid system. It is intended to be
used to help a driver detect an oncoming vehicle in
a parking lot situation. Drivers must be careful
when backing up, even when using RCP. Always
check carefully behind your vehicle, look behind
you, and be sure to check for pedestrians, animals,
other vehicles, obstructions, and blind spots before
backing up. Failure to do so can result in serious
injury or death.
