WARNING!(Continued)
•Allowing children to be in a vehicle unat-
tended is dangerous for a number of rea-
sons. A child or others could be seriously
or fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the gear selector.
•Do not leave the RKE Key Fob in or near
the vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children. A child could operate power win-
dows, 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!
Always remove the RKE Key Fobs from the
vehicle and lock all doors when leaving the
vehicle unattended.

or ACC sounds a signal to remind you to
remove the RKE Key.
NOTE:
With the driver’s door open and the RKE Key
in the ignition, the power door locks will not
lock, and RKE Key Fob will not function.
STEERING WHEEL LOCK — IF
EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with a passive
electronic steering wheel lock. This lock pre-
vents steering the vehicle with the ignition OFF.
The steering wheel lock releases with the igni-
tion On. If the lock does not disengage and thevehicle does not start, turn the wheel to the left
and right to disengage the lock.
SENTRY KEY
The 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 ignition RKE Key Fobs, which
have an embedded electronic chip (transpon-
der) to prevent unauthorized vehicle operation.
Only RKE 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
start the engine.
NOTE:
A RKE Key Fob that has not been pro-
grammed is also considered an invalid RKE
Key Fob even if it is cut to fit the ignition
cylinder for that vehicle.
During normal operation, after placing the igni-
tion in the ON/RUN position, the Vehicle Secu-
rity 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 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

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.

The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the doors,
hood, liftgate, and ignition switch for unauthor-
ized operation.

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
