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 transmission gear se-
lector.
• Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle
or in a location accessible to children, and do not
leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with
Keyless Enter-N-Go™ in the ACC or ON/RUN
mode. A child could operate power windows,
other controls, or move the vehicle.
• Do not leave children or animals inside parked
vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat build-up
may cause serious injury or death.
An unlocked car is an invitation to
thieves. Always remove the Key Fob from
vehicle, cycle the ignition OFF and lock
all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.
SENTRY KEY®
The Sentry Key® Immobilizer system prevents unau-
thorized vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The
system does not need to be armed or activated. Op-
eration is automatic, regardless of whether the vehicle
is locked or unlocked.
The system uses a Key Fob with Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter, a Keyless Ignition Node (KIN) 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 operate the vehicle.
After cycling 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
electronics. In addition, if the light begins to flash after
the bulb 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 normal
vehicle operation (vehicle running for longer than 10
seconds), it indicates that there is a fault in the elec-
tronics. Should this occur, have the vehicle serviced as
soon as possible by an authorized dealer.

2. Insert the tip of the emergency key or a #2 flat bladescrewdriver into the slot and gently pry the two
halves of the RKE transmitter apart. Make sure not
to damage the seal during removal. (fig. 7)
3. Remove the battery by turning the back cover over (battery facing downward) and tapping it lightly on a
solid surface such as a table or similar, then replace
the battery. When replacing the battery, match the
+ sign on the battery to the + sign on the inside of
the battery clip, located on the back cover. Avoid
touching the new battery with your fingers. Skin oils
may cause battery deterioration. If you touch a
battery, clean it with rubbing alcohol. 4. To assemble the RKE transmitter case, snap the two
halves together.
General Information
The transmitter and receivers operate on a carrier
frequency of 433.92 MHz as required by EEC regula-
tions. These devices must be certified to conform to
specific regulations in each individual country. Two sets
of regulations are involved: ETS (European Telecom-
munication Standard) 300–220, which most countries
use, and German BZT federal regulation 225Z125,
which is based on ETC 300–220 but has additional
unique requirements. Other defined requirements are
noted in ANNEX VI of COMMISSION DIRECTIVE
95/56/EC. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference.
• This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired op-
eration.
If your RKE transmitter fails to operate from a normal
distance, check for these two conditions:
1. Weak battery in the transmitter. The expected life of the battery is a minimum of three years.
2. Closeness to a radio transmitter such as a radio station tower, airport transmitter, and some mobile
or CB radios.
