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 a key fob, keyless push button ignition and
a Radio Frequency (RF) receiver to prevent unauthorized
vehicle operation. Therefore, only key fobs that are
programmed to the vehicle can be used to start and operate
the vehicle. The system cannot reprogram a key fob obtained
from another vehicle.
After placing the ignition switch in the ON/RUN 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 addi-
tion, if the light begins to flash after the bulb check, it indi -
cates that someone attempted to start the engine with an
invalid key fob. In the event that a valid key fob is used to
start the engine but there is an issue with the vehicle elec -
tronics, the engine will start and shut off after two seconds. If the vehicle security light turns on during normal vehicle
operation (vehicle running for longer than ten 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.
All of the key fobs provided with your new vehicle have
been programmed to the vehicle electronics.
Key Programming
Programming key fobs may be performed at 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.

Replacement Keys
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.
NOTE:
Duplication of key fobs may be performed at an authorized
dealer. This procedure consists of programming a blank key
fob to the vehicle electronics. A blank key fob is one that has
never been programmed.
When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer System serviced,
bring all vehicle keys with you to an authorized dealer.

VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
The vehicle security alarm monitors the vehicle doors, tail -
gate, and ignition for unauthorized operation. When the
vehicle security alarm is activated, interior switches for
door locks are disabled. The system will turn the horn off
after 29 seconds, 5 seconds between cycles, up to 8 cycles if
the trigger remains active and then the vehicle security
alarm will rearm itself.
To Arm The System
Follow these steps to arm the vehicle security alarm:
1. Remove the key from the ignition system. Refer to "Starting The Engine" in "Starting And Operating" for
further information.
• Make sure the vehicle ignition system is OFF.
2. Perform one of the following methods to lock the vehicle:
• Push lock button on the interior power door lock switchwith the driver and/or passenger door open.
• Push the lock button on the exterior Passive Entry Door Handle with a valid key fob available in the same exte -
rior zone. Refer to "Doors" in this chapter for further
information.
• Push the lock button on the key fob.
3. If any doors are open, close them.

The vehicle security alarm will set when you use the power door
locks, or use the key fob to lock the doors. After all the doors are
locked and closed, the vehicle security light, in the instrument
panel cluster, will flash rapidly for about 16 seconds to indicate
that the alarm is being set. After the alarm is set, the vehicle
security light will flash at a slower rate to indicate that the
system is armed.

To Disarm The System
The vehicle security alarm can be disarmed using any of the
following methods:
1. Push the unlock button on the key fob.
2. Grasp the Passive Entry Unlock Door Handle with a validkey fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the passive entry door
handle. If equipped, refer to "Keyless Enter-N-Go —
Passive Entry" in this chapter for further information.
3. Cycle the ignition out of the OFF position.
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 previously
described arming sequences has occurred, the vehicle secu-
rity 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 secu-
rity 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; the exterior
lights will flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs,
disarm the vehicle security alarm.
Rearming Of The System
If something triggers the alarm, and no action is taken to
disarm it, the vehicle security alarm will turn the horn off
after 29 seconds, 5 seconds between cycles, up to 8 cycles if
the trigger remains active and then the vehicle security alarm
will rearm itself.
Security System Manual Override
The vehicle security alarm will not arm/disarm if you lock/
unlock the doors using the manual door lock.

Power Door Locks — If Equipped
The power door lock switches are on each front door trim
panel. Use these switches to lock or unlock the doors.
NOTE:
The key fob may not be able to be detected by the vehicle
Keyless Enter-N-Go system if it is located next to a mobile
phone, laptop or other electronic device; these devices may
block the key fob’s wireless signal and prevent the Keyless
Enter-N-Go system from starting the vehicle.Power Door Lock Switches
If you push the power door lock switch while the key fob is
located inside the vehicle, and any front door is open, the
power locks will not operate. This prevents you from acci -
dentally locking your key fob in the vehicle. Removing the
key fob or closing the door will allow the locks to operate. A
chime will sound if the key fob is in the ignition switch and
a door is open, as a reminder to remove the key fob.
• 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 gear selector.
• 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 ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child
could operate power windows, other controls, or move
the vehicle.
