Additional features, such as windshield

vehicle is in the Remote Start mode.
The engine can be started two consecutive

-
tion in order to drive the vehicle.
Remote Start Comfort Systems — If
Equipped
When remote start is activated, the heated
steering wheel, and driver heated seat features
will automatically turn on in cold weather. In
warm weather, the driver vented seat feature
will automatically turn on when the remote start
is activated. These features will stay on through
the duration of remote start or until the ignition
switch is placed in the ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
The Remote Start Comfort System can be acti -
vated and deactivated through the Uconnect

Comfort System operation.
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. There -
fore, 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
addition, if the light begins to flash after the
bulb check, it indicates 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 electronics, the engine will start and
shut off after two seconds.
