Sentry Key; Alarm - Jeep COMPASS Owner's Handbook Manual

IMPORTANT
3) An unlocked vehicle is an invitation to
thieves. Always remove key fob from the
vehicle and lock all doors when leaving
the vehicle unattended.
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 car's doors are locked or unlocked.
If the symbol turns on during normal
car operation (car running for longer than
10 seconds), it indicates that there is
a fault in the electronics. Should this
occur, have the car serviced as soon as
possible by the Jeep Dealership.
4)
Irregular operation
If, during starting, the key code is not
correctly recognised, the symbol is
displayed on the instrument panel (see
the instructions in the "Warning lights
and messages" chapter in the "Knowing
the instrument panel" section). This
condition leads to the engine switching
off after 2 seconds. In this case,
bring the ignition device to STOP and
ENGINE; 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 symbol 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.
