Leaving unattended children in a vehicle is
dangerous for a number of reasons. A child
or others could be seriously or fatally in-
jured. Do not leave the Key Fob in the
ignition or 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.

Key-In-Ignition ReminderOpening the driver’s door when the Key Fob is
in the ignition and the ignition switch position is
OFF or ACC, sounds a signal to remind you to
remove the Key Fob.
NOTE:
The Key-In-Ignition reminder only sounds
when the Key Fob is placed in the OFF or
ACC ignition position.
With the Keyless Enter-N-Go feature, opening
the driver’s door when the vehicle’s ignition
switch is placed in ACC or ON/RUN (engine
stopped) will cause the reminder chime to
sound. Refer to “Starting Procedures” in “Start-
ing And Operating” for further information.
SENTRY KEYThe 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,
regardless of whether the vehicle is locked or
unlocked. The system uses the factory-mated Key Fob
with Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
and Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) to prevent
unauthorized vehicle operation. Therefore, only
Key Fobs that are programmed to the vehicle
can be used to start and operate the vehicle.
The system will shut the engine off in two
seconds if an invalid Key Fob is used to start
the engine.
After turning the ignition switch 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 electronics. Should this occur,
have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible
by an authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
The Sentry Key
Immobilizer system is not
compatible with some after-market remote
starting systems. Use of these systems may
result in vehicle starting problems and loss of
security protection.
All of the Key Fobs provided with your new
vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle
electronics.
Replacement Keys
NOTE:
Only Key Fobs that are programmed to the
vehicle electronics can be used to start and
operate the vehicle. Once a Key Fob is
programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be pro-
grammed to any other vehicle.
CAUTION!
• Always remove the Key Fobs from the
vehicle and lock all doors when leaving the
vehicle unattended.

CAUTION!(Continued)
• With Keyless Enter-N-Go, always remem-
ber to place the ignition in OFF.
At the time of purchase, the original owner is
provided with a four-digit Personal Identifica-
tion Number (PIN). Keep the PIN in a secure
location. This number is required for authorized
dealer replacement of Key Fobs. Duplication of
Key Fobs may be performed at an authorized
dealer.
NOTE:
When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer
system serviced, bring all vehicle ignition
keys with you to an authorized dealer.

System (BeltAlert )
BeltAlert is a feature intended to remind the
driver and front passenger (if equipped with
front passenger BeltAlert ) to fasten their seat-
belts. This feature is active whenever the igni-
tion is on. If the driver or front seat passenger is
unbelted, the Seat Belt Reminder Light will turn
on and remain on until both front seatbelts are
fastened. BeltAlert triggers within 60 seconds
of vehicle speed over 5 mph (8 km/h). The
reminder sequence lasts for 96 seconds or until
the respective seatbelts are fastened. After the
sequence completes, the Seat Belt Reminder
Light remains illuminated until front belts are
fastened. The driver should instruct all other
occupants to fasten their seatbelts. If a front
seatbelt is unbuckled while traveling at speeds
greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), BeltAlert will
chime as a single notification and illuminate the
Seat Belt Reminder Light, then will proceed to
the 96 second reminder sequence.
The front passenger seat BeltAlert is not ac-
tive when the front passenger seat is unoccu-
pied. BeltAlert may be triggered when an
animal or heavy object is on the front passen- ger seat or when the seat is folded flat (if
equipped). It is recommended that pets be
restrained in the rear seat in pet harnesses or
pet carriers that are secured by seat belts, and
cargo is properly stowed.
NOTE:
•
BeltAlert can be enabled or disabled by
your authorized dealer.
• Chrysler Group LLC does not recommend
deactivating BeltAlert .
