Removing Key Fob From IgnitionPlace the shift lever in PARK. Turn the Key Fob
to the OFF position and then remove the Key
Fob.
With the Keyless Enter-N-Go feature, the EVIC
will display the ignition switch position “OFF/
ACC/RUN”. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Infor-
mation Center (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” for further information.NOTE:
•
If you try to remove the Key Fob before
you place the shift lever in PARK, it may
become trapped temporarily in the igni-
tion switch. If this occurs, rotate the key
to the right slightly, then remove the Key
Fob as described. If a malfunction occurs,
the system may trap the key in the igni-
tion switch to warn you that this safety
feature is inoperable. The engine can be
started and stopped, but the Key Fob
cannot be removed until you obtain ser-
vice.
• The power window switches, radio, power
sunroof (if equipped), and power outlets
will remain active for up to 10 minutes
after the ignition switch is turned to the
LOCK position. Opening either front door
will cancel this feature. The time for this
feature is programmable. Refer to “Elec-
tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/
Personal Settings (Customer-Program-
mable Features)” in “Understanding Your
Instrument Panel” for further information.
WARNING!
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle.
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.
CAUTION!
An unlocked car is an invitation to thieves.
Always remove Key Fob from the ignition and
lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unat-
tended.

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.
Customer Key ProgrammingProgramming Key Fobs or RKE transmitters
may be performed at an authorized dealer.

VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM —
IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the hood,
liftgate, liftgate flipper glass, vehicle doors for
unauthorized entry, and the ignition switch for
unauthorized operation. If something triggers
the alarm, the Vehicle Security Alarm will pre-
vent the vehicle from starting and provide the
following audio and visual signals: the horn will
pulse, the headlights will flash, the park lights
will flash, and the Vehicle Security Light in the
instrument cluster will flash.
To Arm the System
Vehicles Not Equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go
Remove the key from the ignition switch and
either press a power door lock switch while the
driver or passenger door is open, or press the
LOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter. After the last door is closed,
or if all doors are closed, the Vehicle Security
Alarm will arm itself in about 16 seconds.
During that time, the Vehicle Security Light will
flash. If it does not illuminate, the Vehicle Secu-
rity Alarm is not arming. Also, if you open a door
during the arming period, the Vehicle Security
Alarm will cancel the arming process. If you
wish to rearm the Vehicle Security Alarm after
closing the door, you must repeat one of the
previously-described arming sequences.

The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to pro-
tect your vehicle; however, you can create
conditions where the Vehicle Security Alarm will
give you a false alarm. If one of the previously-
described arming sequences has occurred,
the Vehicle Security Alarm will arm, regardless
of whether you are in the vehicle or not. If you
remain in the vehicle and open a door, the
alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the
Vehicle Security Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, and the
battery becomes disconnected, the Vehicle Security Alarm will remain armed when the
battery is reconnected. The exterior lights will
flash, the horn will sound, and the ignition will
not start the vehicle. If this occurs, disarm the
Vehicle Security Alarm.
ILLUMINATED ENTRYThe interior lights come on when you open any

Easy Entry/Exit SeatThis feature provides automatic driver’s seat
positioning which will enhance driver mobility
out of and into the vehicle.
There are two possible Easy Entry/Exit adjust-
ments available:
•
The seat cushion will move rearward ap-
proximately 2.5 in (60 mm), if the starting
position of the seat is greater than or equal to
2.67 in (68 mm) forward of the rear seat stop
when the key is removed from the ignition
switch. The seat will then move forward
approximately 2.5 in (60 mm) when the key is
placed into the ignition and turned out of the
LOCK position.
104

•The seat will move to the position located
0.3 in (8 mm) forward of the rear stop if the
starting position is between 0.9 to 2.67 in (23
to 68 mm) forward of the rear stop when the
key is removed from the ignition switch. The
seat will move forward to the memory/driving
position when the key is placed into the
ignition, and turned out of the LOCK position
toward the ACC/ON position.
The Easy Entry/Exit feature will be automatically
disabled if the seat is already positioned closer
than 0.9 in (23 mm) forward of the rear stop. At
this position, there is no benefit to the driver by
moving the seat for Easy Exit/Entry.
Each stored memory setting will have an asso-
ciated Easy Entry/Exit position.
NOTE:
The Easy Entry/Exit feature is not enabled
when the vehicle is delivered from the fac-
tory. The Easy Entry/Exit feature is enabled
(or later disabled) through the programmable
features in the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC). Refer to “Electronic Vehicle

11. Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale LightEach tire, including the spare (if
provided), should be checked
monthly, when cold and inflated to
the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufac-
turer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires
of a different size than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label,
you should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pres-
sure telltale when one or more of your tires is
significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when
the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inflate them to the proper pres-
sure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated
tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to
tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,
even if under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire
pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined with the low
tire pressure telltale. When the system detects
a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approxi-
mately one minute and then remain continu-
ously illuminated. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as
the malfunction exists. When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning
properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle, to ensure that thereplacement or alternate tires and wheels allow
the TPMS to continue to function properly.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures
and warning have been established for the tire
size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable
system operation or sensor damage may re-
sult when using replacement equipment that
is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor dam-
age. Do not use tire sealant from a can, or
balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with
a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may
result.
12. Position Light Indicator — If Equipped This indicator will illuminate when
the park lights or headlights are
turned on.
