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 and a 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. If an invalid key fob is used to attempt to start and operate the vehicle, the system will not allow the engine to crank. If an invalid key fob is used to start the engine, the system will shut the engine off in two seconds. After placing the ignition 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 checks, 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 used an invalid key fob to start the engine. Either of these conditions will result in the engine being shut off after two seconds. If the vehicle security light turns on during normal vehicle operation (vehicle running for longer than 10 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.

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. All of the key fobs provided with your new
vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle electronics.

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.

NOTE:
Driving at speeds 2 mph (4 km/h) and above disables the system from responding to all key fob buttons for all key fobs.

To Unlock The Doors And Liftgate

Push and release the unlock button on the key fob once to unlock the driver’s door or twice within five seconds to unlock all doors and the liftgate. All doors can be programmed to unlock on the first push of the unlock button. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further information.

NOTE:
If the vehicle is unlocked by a key fob, and no door is opened within 60 seconds, the vehicle will re-lock and if equipped, the security alarm will arm. The turn signal lights will flash twice to acknowledge the unlock signal. The illuminated entry system will be activated.

1st Push Of Key Fob Unlock Button
