SENTRY KEY®
The Sentry Key® system prevents
unauthorised use of the car preventing to
start the engine.
The system does not need to be
enabled/activated: operation is
automatic, regardless of the fact that the
doors of the car are locked or unlocked.
When the ignition device is set to MAR,
the Sentry Key® system identifies the
code transmitted by the key. If the code
is recognised as valid, the Sentry Key®
system enables engine starting.
When the ignition device is brought
back to STOP, the Sentry Key® system
deactivates the control unit controlling
the engine, thus preventing its starting.
For the correct engine starting
procedures, see the instructions in the
"Starting the engine" paragraph, "Starting
and driving" chapter.
IRREGULAR OPERATION

correctly recognised, the
icon is
displayed on the instrument panel (see
the instructions in the "Warning lights
and messages" paragraph, "Knowing
the instrument panel" chapter). This
condition leads to the engine switching
off after 2 seconds. In this case, bring
the ignition device to STOP and then to
MAR; if it is still blocked, try with the
other keys provided. If it is still not
possible to start the engine, contact a
Jeep Dealership.
If the
icon is displayed while driving,
this means that the system is running
a self-diagnosis (e.g. due to a voltage
drop). If the displaying is still on,
contact a Jeep Dealership.
