To Exit Remote Start Mode Without Driving The
Vehicle
Push and release the Remote Startbutton one time or
allow the engine to run for the entire 15-minute cycle.
NOTE: To avoid unintentional shut downs, the system will
disable the one time push of the Remote Start
button
for two seconds after receiving a valid Remote Start
request.
To Exit Remote Start Mode And Drive The Vehicle
Before the end of the 15-minute cycle, push and release the
unlock
button on the key fob to unlock the doors and
disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm (if equipped). Then,
insert the key into the ignition and place the ignition in
the ON/RUN position.
NOTE: The ignition must be placed in the ON/RUN
position in order to drive the vehicle.
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 key fobs that have an embedded electronic
chip (transponder) to prevent unauthorized vehicle opera-
tion. 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 someone
uses an invalid key to try to start the engine.
NOTE: A key fob that has not been programmed is also
considered an invalid key, even if it is cut to fit the ignition
or lock cylinder for that vehicle.
During normal operation, after placing the ignition in the
on 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 Vehicle Security Light begins
to flash after the bulb check, it indicates that someone used3

an invalid key to try 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 aftermarket 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 Key Fobs
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
programmed to any other vehicle.
CAUTION!
Always remove the Sentry Keys from the vehicle and
lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.
Duplication of key fobs may be performed at an authorized
dealer or by following the customer key programming
procedure. This procedure consists of programming a
blank key fob to the vehicle electronics. A blank key fob is
one that has never been programmed.
NOTE: When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer System
serviced, bring all vehicle key fobs with you to an autho-
rized dealer.
Customer Key Programming
If you have two valid key fobs, you can program new key
fobs to the Sentry Key Immobilizer system by performing
the following procedure:
1. Cut the additional Key(s) to match the ignition and lock cylinder key code.
2. Insert the first valid key into the ignition. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position for at least three
seconds, but no longer than 15 seconds. Then, place the
ignition in the LOCK position and remove the first key.
