A WORD ABOUT YOUR
KEYS
Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition
system. This system consists of a Key
Fob with Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter and a Keyless Ig-
nition Node (KIN).
Keyless Enter-N-Go Feature
This vehicle is equipped with the Key-
less Enter-N-Go feature, refer to
“Starting Procedure” in “Starting
And Operating” for further informa-
tion.
KEYLESS IGNITION NODE
(KIN)
This feature allows the driver to oper-
ate the ignition switch with the push
of a button, as long as the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is in
the passenger compartment.
The Keyless Ignition Node (KIN) has
four operating positions, three of
which are labeled and will illuminate
when in position. The three positions
are OFF, ACC, and ON/RUN. The
fourth position is START, during start
RUN will illuminate.NOTE:
In case the ignition switch does not
change with the push of a button,
the RKE transmitter (Key Fob)
may have a low or dead battery. In
this situation a back up method
can be used to operate the ignition
switch. Put the nose side (side op-
posite of the emergency key) of the
Key Fob against the ENGINE
START/STOP button and push to
operate the ignition switch.
KEY FOB
The Key Fob also contains the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and
an emergency key, which stores in the
rear of the Key Fob.The emergency key allows for entry
into the vehicle should the battery in
the vehicle or the Key Fob go dead.
The emergency key is also for locking
the glove box. You can keep the emer-
gency key with you when valet park-
ing.
To remove the emergency key, slide
the mechanical latch on the back of
the Key Fob sideways with your
thumb and then pull the key out with
your other hand.
NOTE:
You can insert the double-sided
emergency key into the lock cylin-
ders with either side up.

that there is a problem with the elec-
tronics. This condition will result in
the engine being shut off after two
seconds.
If the Vehicle Security Light turns on
during normal vehicle operation (ve-
hicle running for longer than 10 sec-
onds), 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 sys-
tem is not compatible with some
after-market remote starting sys-
tems. Use of these systems may re-
sult in vehicle starting problems and
loss of security protection.
All of the Key Fobs provided with
your new vehicle have been pro-
grammed to the vehicle electronics.
REPLACEMENT KEYS
NOTE:
Only Key Fobs that are pro-
grammed to the vehicle electronics
can be used to start and operate
the vehicle. Once a Key Fob is pro- grammed to a vehicle, it cannot be
programmed to any other vehicle.
CAUTION!
 Always remove the Key Fobs from
the vehicle and lock all doors
when leaving the vehicle unat-
tended.
 For vehicles equipped with Key-
less Enter-N-Go, always remem-
ber to place the ignition in OFF.
At the time of purchase, the original
owner is provided with a four-digit
Personal Identification Number
(PIN). Keep the PIN in a secure loca-
tion. This number is required for au-
thorized dealer replacement of Key
Fobs. Duplication of Key Fobs may be
performed at an authorized dealer,
this procedure consists of program-
ming 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® Im-
mobilizer System serviced, bring
all vehicle Key Fobs with you to the
authorized dealer. CUSTOMER KEY
PROGRAMMING
Programming Key Fobs or RKE
transmitters may be performed at an

JUMP-STARTING
PROCEDURES
If your vehicle has a discharged bat-
tery it can be jump-started using a set
of jumper cables and a battery in an-
other vehicle or by using a portable
battery booster pack. Jump-starting
can be dangerous if done improperly
so please follow the procedures in this
section carefully.
NOTE:
When using a portable battery
booster pack follow the manufac-
turer’s operating instructions and
precautions.
CAUTION!
Do not use a portable battery
booster pack or any other booster
source with a system voltage greater
than 12 Volts or damage to the bat-
tery, starter motor, alternator or
electrical system may occur.WARNING!
Do not attempt jump-starting if the
battery is frozen. It could rupture or
explode and cause personal injury.
PREPARATIONS FOR
JUMP-START
The battery is stored under an access
cover in the trunk. Remote battery
posts are located on the right side of
the engine compartment for jump-
starting.
NOTE:
The remote battery posts are
viewed by standing on the right
side of the vehicle looking over the
fender.
246

Remote Battery PostsWARNING!
 Take care to avoid the radiatorcooling fan whenever the hood is
raised. It can start anytime the
ignition switch is on. You can be
injured by moving fan blades.
 Remove any metal jewelry such as
watch bands or bracelets that
might make an inadvertent elec-
trical contact. You could be seri-
ously injured.
 Batteries contain sulfuric acid
that can burn your skin or eyes
and generate hydrogen gas which
is flammable and explosive. Keep
open flames or sparks away from
the battery. 1. Set the parking brake, shift the
automatic transmission into PARK
and turn the ignition to LOCK.
2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all
unnecessary electrical accessories.
3. If using another vehicle to jump-
start the battery, park the vehicle
within the jumper cables reach, set
the parking brake and make sure the
ignition is OFF.
WARNING!
Do not allow vehicles to touch each
other as this could establish a
ground connection and personal in-
jury could result.
JUMP-STARTING
PROCEDUREWARNING!
Failure to follow this procedure
could result in personal injury or
property damage due to battery ex-
plosion.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these procedures
could result in damage to the charg-
ing system of the booster vehicle or
the discharged vehicle.
1. Connect the positive (+)end of the
jumper cable to the remote positive
(+) post of the discharged vehicle.
2. Connect the opposite end of the
positive (+)jumper cable to the posi-
tive (+)post of the booster battery.
3. Connect the negative end (-)of the
jumper cable to the negative (-)post
of the booster battery.
4. Connect the opposite end of the
negative (-)jumper cable to the re-
mote negative (-)post of the vehicle
with the discharged battery.WARNING!
Do not connect the cable to the nega-
tive post (-)of the discharged bat-
tery. The resulting electrical spark
could cause the battery to explode
and could result in personal injury.
1 — Remote Positive (+) Post
2 — Remote Negative (-) Post
247

5. Start the engine in the vehicle that
has the booster battery, let the engine
idle a few minutes, and then start the
engine in the vehicle with the dis-
charged battery.
Once the engine is started, remove the
jumper cables in the reverse sequence:
6. Disconnect the negative(-)jumper
cable from the remote negative (-)
post of the vehicle with the discharged
battery.
7. Disconnect the negative end (-)of
the jumper cable from the negative (-)
post of the booster battery.
8. Disconnect the opposite end of the
positive (+)jumper cable from the
positive (+)post of the booster bat-
tery.
9. Disconnect the positive (+)end of
the jumper cable from the remote
positive (+)post of the discharged ve-
hicle.
If frequent jump-starting is required
to start your vehicle you should have
the battery and charging system in-
spected at your authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
Accessories that can be plugged into
the vehicle power outlets draw
power from the vehicle’s battery,
even when not in use (i.e., cellular
phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged
in long enough, the vehicle’s battery
will discharge sufficiently to degrade
battery life and/or prevent the en-
gine from starting.
FREEING A STUCK
VEHICLE
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud,
sand, or snow, it can often be moved
by a rocking motion. Turn your steer-
ing wheel right and left to clear the
area around the front wheels. Then
shift back and forth between DRIVE
and REVERSE. Using minimal accel-
erator pedal pressure to maintain the
rocking motion, without spinning the
wheels, is most effective.
CAUTION!
Racing the engine or spinning the
wheels may lead to transmission
overheating and failure. Allow the
engine to idle with the shift lever in
NEUTRAL for at least one minute
after every five rocking-motion
cycles. This will minimize overheat-
ing and reduce the risk of transmis-
sion failure during prolonged efforts
to free a stuck vehicle.
NOTE:
Turn off the Electronic Stability
Program (ESP) (for versions/
markets, where provided), or
Traction Control System (TCS) (for
versions/markets, where pro-
vided) before rocking the vehicle.
Refer to “Electronic Brake Con-
trol” in “Starting And Operating”
for further information.
