Remote Start Windshield Wiper De–Icer
Activation — If Equipped
When Remote Start is active and the outside ambient
temperature is less than 33° F (.5° C), the Windshield
Wiper De-Icer will be enabled. Exiting Remote Start will
resume previous operation, except if the Windshield
Wiper De-Icer is active. The Windshield Wiper De-Icer
timer and operation will continue.
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 a Key Fob with a factory-mated Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter, a Keyless Ignition Node
(KIN), and a RF receiver to prevent unauthorized vehicle
operation. Therefore, only Key Fobs that are pro-
grammed to the vehicle can be used to start and operate
the vehicle. The system will not allow the engine to crank
if an invalid Key Fob tries to start the engine.
After placing the ignition to the ON/RUN position, if
there is a problem with the system, the Vehicle Security
Light will turn on. This condition will result in the engine
being shut off after two seconds.
Should this occur, have the vehicle serviced as soon as
possible by an authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
•Do not make modifications or alterations to the
immobilizer system. Modifications or alterations to
the immobilization system may result in a loss of
security protection.

CAUTION!(Continued)
•The Sentry Key® Immobilizer system is not com-

seconds from arming the alarm, disarm the alarm by
pressing the UNLOCK button. Check for the correct
closure of doors and liftgate, then reactivate the
system by following steps 1 and 2.
•If a second chime is heard after approximately four
seconds from arming the alarm, even with the doors

curred during the arming operation. If this occurs,
contact your authorized dealer.
To Disarm The System
The Vehicle Security Alarm can be disarmed using any of
the following methods:
•Push the UNLOCK button on the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter.
•Grasp the Passive Entry Unlock Door Handle with a
valid Key Fob available in the same exterior zone (if
equipped). Refer to#Keyless Enter-N-Go™#in#Get-
ting To Know Your Vehicle#for further information.
•Cycle the vehicle ignition system out of the STOP/OFF
position.
–For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go™,
push the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ START/STOP button
(requires at least one valid Key Fob in the vehicle).
52 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

– For vehicles not equipped with Keyless Enter-N-
Go™, insert a valid key into the ignition switch and
turn the key to the MAR/RUN position.
NOTE:
•The driver’s door key cylinder can arm or disarm the
Vehicle Security Alarm.
•When the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, the interior
power door lock switches will not unlock the doors.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your
vehicle. However, you can create conditions where the
system will give you a false alarm. If one of the previ-
ously 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.
Disabling
To completely disable the alarm (e.g. in the case of long
inactivity of the car), lock the doors by turning the vehicle
key in the exterior door lock cylinder.
NOTE:If the batteries in the RKE transmitter discharge
in the event of a failure to the system, or to switch off the
alarm, place the ignition in the MAR/RUN position.

WARNING!
•For personal security and safety in the event of a
collision, lock the vehicle doors before you drive as
well as when you park and leave the vehicle.
•When leaving the vehicle, always remove the Key
Fob from the vehicle and lock your vehicle. Unsu-
pervised use of vehicle equipment may cause se-
vere personal injuries or death.
•Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to
be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a
number of reasons. A child or others could be
seriously or fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal
or the shift lever.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
•Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle, or
in a location accessible to children, and do not
leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with
Keyless Enter-N-Go™ in the RUN mode. A child
could operate power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.
Power Door Locks
A power door lock switch is located on each of the front
door trim panels. This switch is used to lock or unlock the
doors and liftgate.
Locking/Unlocking From The Inside
Press the button on the driver or passenger door trim
panel to lock the doors.
With the doors locked, press the button to unlock the
doors.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 55

The doors can also be locked and unlocked with the
Keyless Enter-N-Go™ (Passive Entry) system if
equipped. For further information, refer to “Keyless
Enter-N-Go™” in “Getting To Know Your Vehicle.”
If you push the power door lock switch while the ignition
is in the MAR/RUN position, and any front door is open,
the power locks will not operate. This prevents you from
accidentally locking the key in the vehicle. Placing the
ignition in the STOP/OFF position or closing the door
will allow the locks to operate. If a door is open, and the
ignition is in the MAR/RUN position, a chime will sound
as a reminder to remove the key.
NOTE:If all of the doors are closed properly, the door
locks will lock automatically when the vehicle’s speed
exceeds 12 mph (20 km/h). For further information, refer
to “Uconnect® SETTINGS” in “Multimedia.”
Keyless Enter-N-Go™
The Passive Entry system is an enhancement to the
vehicle’s Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system and a
feature of Keyless Enter-N-Go™. This feature allows you
to lock and unlock the vehicle’s door(s) without having to
push the RKE transmitter LOCK or UNLOCK buttons.
Power Door Lock Switch
56 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE:The Passive Entry system will not operate if the
RKE transmitter battery is dead.
The vehicle doors can also be locked by using the lock
button located on the vehicle’s interior door panel.
Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of Passive Entry RKE
Transmitter In Vehicle (FOBIK-Safe)
To minimize the possibility of unintentionally locking a
Passive Entry RKE transmitter inside your vehicle, the
Passive Entry system is equipped with an automatic door
unlock feature which will function if the ignition switch
is in the OFF position.
FOBIK-Safe only executes in vehicles with Passive Entry.
There are three situations that trigger a FOBIK-Safe
search in any Passive Entry vehicle:
1. A lock request is made by a valid Passive Entry RKE
transmitter while a door is ajar.
2. A lock request is made by the Passive Entry door
handle while a door is ajar.
3. A lock request is made by the door panel switch while
the door is ajar.
DO NOT Grab The Door Handle When Locking

To use the system, open each rear door, use a flat blade
screwdriver (or ignition key) and rotate the dial to the
LOCK or UNLOCK position. When the system on a door
is engaged, that door can only be opened by using the
outside door handle even if the inside door lock is in the
unlocked position.
