3. Remove the back cover to access and replace
the battery. When replacing the battery, match
the (+) sign on the battery to the (+) sign on the
inside of the battery clip, located on the back
cover. Avoid touching the new battery with your
fingers. Skin oils may cause battery deterio -
ration. If you touch a battery, clean it with
rubbing alcohol.
4. To assemble the key fob case, snap the two halves together.
Programming And Requesting Additional
Key Fobs
Programming the key fob may be performed by an
authorized dealer.
NOTE:Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, it
cannot be repurposed and reprogrammed to
another vehicle.
Duplication of keys may be performed at an
authorized dealer. The VIN is required for
authorized dealer replacement of keys.
NOTE:Only keys that have been programmed 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. When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer
system serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to
an authorized dealer.
WARNING!
The integrated key fob contains a coin cell
battery. Do not ingest the battery; there is a
chemical burn hazard. If the coin cell battery is
swallowed, it can cause severe internal burns
in just two hours and can lead to death.
If you think a battery may have been swal-
lowed or placed inside any part of the body,
seek immediate medical attention.
Keep new and used batteries away from chil -
dren. If the battery compartment does not
close securely, stop using the product and
keep it away from children.
WARNING!
Always remove the key fobs from the vehicle
and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle
unattended.
Always remember to place the ignition in the
OFF position.

16GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
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 will shut the engine off in two seconds
if an invalid key fob is used to start the engine.
If the Vehicle Security Light is on after the ignition
is placed in the ON/RUN position, it indicates that
there is a problem with the electronics.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle have
been programmed to the vehicle electronics.
NOTE:A key fob that has not been programmed is also
considered an invalid key Úpage 256.
IGNITION SWITCH
KEYLESS ENTER ‘N GO™ IGNITION
This feature allows the driver to operate the
ignition switch with the push of a button as long as
the key fob is in the passenger compartment.
The START/STOP ignition button has three
operating modes. The three modes are OFF,
ON/RUN, and START.
START/STOP Ignition Button
The push button ignition can be placed in the
following modes:
OFF
The engine is stopped
Some electrical devices (e.g. power locks,
alarm, etc.) are still available
ON/RUN
Driving position
All electrical devices are available (e.g. climate
controls, heated seats, etc.)
START
The engine will start (when foot is on the brake)
NOTE:
If the ignition switch does not change the mode by
pushing the button, the key fob may have a low or
depleted battery. In this situation, a backup method
can be used to operate the ignition switch. Put the
nose side (side opposite of the mechanical key) of
the key fob against the START/STOP ignition button
and push to operate the ignition switch.
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.

62GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
Immobilizer Fail / VPS Electrical Alarm
Indicator Light
This telltale will illuminate when the
vehicle security system has detected an
attempt to break into the vehicle.
NOTE:After cycling the ignition to the ON/RUN position,
the Vehicle Security Warning Light could illuminate
if a problem with the system is detected. This
condition will result in the engine being shut off
after two seconds.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Warning
Light
The ESC Indicator Light in the instrument
cluster will come on when the ignition is
placed in the ON/RUN or MAR (ACC/ON/
RUN) position, and when ESC is activated.
It should turn off with the engine running. If the ESC
Indicator Light comes on continuously with the engine
running, a malfunction has been detected in the ESC
system. If this light remains on after several ignition
cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several miles
(kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h),
see an authorized dealer as soon as possible to have
the problem diagnosed and corrected.
The ESC OFF Indicator Light and the ESC Indi -
cator Light come on momentarily each time
the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN or MAR
(ACC/ON/RUN) position.
Each time the ignition is turned to ON/RUN or
MAR (ACC/ON/RUN), the ESC system will be on,
even if it was turned off previously.
The ESC system will make buzzing or clicking
sounds when it is active. This is normal; the
sounds will stop when ESC becomes inactive.
This light will come on when the vehicle is in an
ESC event.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) OFF
Warning Light
This light indicates the ESC is off.
Each time the ignition is turned to ON/RUN or
MAR/ON/RUN, the ESC system will be on, even if it
was turned off previously.
Generic Warning Light
The Generic Warning Light will illuminate
if any of the following conditions occur:
Engine Oil Pressure Sensor Failure,
External Light Failure, Fuel Cut-Off
intervention or fail, Parking Sensor Failure,
Dynamic Steering Torque System Failure.
The telltale will remain on fixed in case of swivel
seat failure and on blinking in case of Air Bag
Warning Light Failure. Contact an authorized
dealer immediately for service.
Low Fuel Warning Light
When the fuel level reaches the low
threshold, this light will turn on and
remain on until fuel is added.
