(RKE) transmitter to start the engine conve-
niently from outside the vehicle while still
maintaining security. The system has a range of
at least 300 ft (91 m).
The Remote Starting System also activates the Climate

Remote Start Windshield Wiper De–Icer
Activation — If Equipped
When Remote Start is active and the outside ambient
temperature is less than 40° F (4.4° C), the Windshield
Wiper De-Icer will be enabled. Exiting Remote Start will
resume previous operation, except if the Windshield
Wiper De-Icer is active. The Windshield Wiper De-Icer
timer and operation will continue.
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. Operation
is automatic, regardless of whether the vehicle is locked
or unlocked.
The system uses a Key Fob with a factory-mated Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter, a Keyless Push Button
Ignition, and a RF receiver to prevent unauthorizedvehicle operation. Therefore, only Key Fobs that are
programmed to the vehicle can be used to start and
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.
