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 RKE 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 aftermarket remote
starting systems. Use of these systems may
result in vehicle starting problems and loss of
security protection.
All of the RKE Key Fobs provided with your new
vehicle have been programmed to the vehicleelectronics. See your authorized dealer if you
require replacement or additional RKE Key
Fobs for your vehicle.
Replacement RKE Key Fobs
NOTE:
Only RKE Key Fobs that have been pro-
grammed to the vehicle electronics can be
used to start the vehicle. Once a Sentry Key
has been 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 RKE Key Fobs consists of pro-
gramming a blank key to the vehicle electronics.
A blank RKE Key Fob is one which has never
been programmed. See your authorized dealer
if you require replacement or additional RKE
Key Fobs for your vehicle.NOTE:
When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer
System serviced, bring all vehicle keys with
you to an authorized dealer.

VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM —
IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the doors,
hood, liftgate, and ignition switch for unauthor-
ized operation.
If something triggers the Vehicle Security Alarm
the horn will sound for 29 seconds and turn off
all of the visual signals after an additional 31
seconds. If the triggering device is not deacti-
vated, the horn will sound again after a five
second delay for another 30 seconds. If the
trigger remains present, this cycle will repeat for
up to five minutes.

To Arm The System
1. Remove the RKE Key Fob from the ignition
and get out of the vehicle.
2. Lock the door using either the power door
lock
switch or the RKE Key Fob lockbutton and close all doors.
3. The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument
cluster will flash rapidly for approximately 16
seconds. This shows that the Vehicle Secu-
rity Alarm is arming. During this period, if a
door is opened, the ignition is placed in the
ON/RUN position, or the power door locks
are unlocked in any manner, the Vehicle
Security Alarm will automatically disarm. Af-
ter approximately 16 seconds, the Vehicle
Security Light will flash slowly. This shows
that the Vehicle Security Alarm is fully
armed.
Rearming Of The SystemIf something triggers the alarm, and no action is
taken to disarm it, the Vehicle Security Alarm
will turn off the horn after 29 seconds, turn off all
of the visual signals after one minute, and then
the Vehicle Security Alarm will rearm itself.
To Disarm The SystemPush UNLOCK on the RKE Key Fob, or insert
the key into the ignition and place the ignition in
the ON/RUN position.
If something has triggered the Vehicle Security
Alarm in your absence, the exterior lights blink
three times when you unlock the doors. Check
the vehicle for tampering. The Vehicle Security
Alarm is designed to protect your vehicle; how-
ever, you can create conditions where the Ve-
hicle Security Alarm will arm unexpectedly. If
you remain in the vehicle and lock the doors
with the RKE Key Fob, once the Vehicle Secu-
rity Alarm is armed (after 16 seconds), when
you pull the door handle to exit, the alarm will
sound. If this occurs, push the UNLOCK button
on the RKE Key Fob to disarm the Vehicle
Security Alarm.
Vehicle Security Alarm Manual
Override
The Vehicle Security Alarm will not arm if you
lock the doors using the manual door lock
plunger.
PREMIUM VEHICLE SECURITY
ALARM — IF EQUIPPED
The Premium Vehicle Security Alarm system
monitors the doors, hood latch, liftgate, and
ignition switch for unauthorized operation.
If something triggers the security alarm, the
audible alert will sound for 29 seconds and flash
the lights for 60 seconds. If the triggering device
is not deactivated, the audible alert will sound
again after a five-second delay for another 29
seconds. If the trigger remains present, this
cycle will repeat for up to five minutes.
If the intrusion sensor is enabled, the security
alarm system will also monitor the vehicle for
movement. When this portion of the alarm is
set, movement inside the vehicle or movement
of the vehicle will trigger the Vehicle Security
Alarm.
