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 seri-
ously or fatally injured. Don’t leave the key in the
ignition. A child could operate power windows,
other controls, or move the vehicle.
CAUTION!
An unlocked vehicle is an invitation to thieves.
Always remove the key from the ignition, and lock
all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.
Key-In-Ignition Reminder
If you open the driver’s door and the key is in the
ignition, a chime will sound to remind you to remove the
key.NOTE:
The Key-In-Ignition reminder only sounds
when the ignition key is placed in the LOCK or ACC
position.
SENTRY KEY
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System prevents unautho-
rized 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 ignition keys that have an embedded
electronic chip (transponder) to prevent unauthorized
vehicle operation. Therefore, only keys that are pro-
grammed to the vehicle can be used to start and operate
the vehicle. The system will shut the engine off in two
seconds if someone uses an invalid key to try to start the
engine.
14 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors,
liftgate, and liftgate flip-up window for unauthorized
entry and ignition for unauthorized operation.
If something triggers the alarm, the Vehicle Security
Alarm will sound the horn intermittently, flash the head-
lights and taillights, and flash the Vehicle Security Light
in the instrument cluster.
NOTE:The Panic and Security alarms are quite differ-
ent. Please take a moment to activate the Panic and the
Security modes to hear the differences in the horn. In case
one should go off in the future, you will need to know
which mode has been activated in order to deactivate it.
Rearming of the System
If something triggers the Vehicle Security Alarm, and no
action is taken to disarm it, the Vehicle Security Alarm will turn off the horn after three minutes, turn off all of
the visual signals after 15 minutes, and then the Vehicle
Security Alarm will rearm itself.
To Arm the System
1. Remove the key from the ignition switch and exit the
vehicle.
2. Lock the doors and liftgate by pressing the power door
LOCK switch or the LOCK button on the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter.
NOTE:
The Vehicle Security Alarm will not arm if you
lock the doors with the manual door lock plungers or the
driver’s door lock cylinder.
3. Close all doors. The Vehicle Security Light in the
instrument cluster will flash rapidly for about 16 seconds
to signal that the Vehicle Security Alarm is arming.

liftgate, open the liftgate flip-up window, or activate the
PANIC alarm from distances up to approximately 66 ft
(20 m) using a hand-held Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter. The RKE transmitter does not need to be
pointed at the vehicle to activate the system. However,the line of transmission must not be blocked with metal
objects when using the RKE transmitter.
NOTE:
Inserting the key into the ignition switch dis-
ables all buttons on the RKE transmitter.
