Customer Key Programming

If you have two valid Sentry Keys , you can program
new Sentry Keys to the system by performing the
following procedure:
1. Cut the additional Sentry Key Transponder blank(s)
to match the ignition switch lock cylinder key code.
2. Insert the first valid key into the ignition switch. Turn
the ignition switch to the ON position for at least three
seconds, but no longer than 15 seconds. Then, turn the
ignition switch to the LOCK position and remove the first
key.
3. Insert the second valid key into the ignition switch.
Turn the ignition switch to the ON position within 15
seconds. After 10 seconds, a chime will sound. In addi-
tion, the Vehicle Security Light will begin to flash. Turn
the ignition switch to the LOCK position and remove the
second key.

rity Light will turn on again for three seconds and then
turn off.
The new Sentry Key is programmed. The Remote

do not have a programmed Sentry Key , contact your
