placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate
medical attention.

If the battery compartment does not close securely,
stop using the product and keep it away from children.

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.

WARNING!
Duplication of key fobs may be performed at an authorized

that has never been programmed.

 When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer system
serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to an autho-
rized dealer.
 Keys must be ordered to the correct key cut to match
the vehicle locks.

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 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.
