that are programmed to the vehicle can be used
to start and operate the vehicle. The system will
shut the engine off in two seconds if someone
uses an invalid key to start the engine.
NOTE:
A key that has not been programmed is also
considered an invalid key, even if it is cut to
fit the ignition switch lock cylinder for that
vehicle.
During normal operation, after turning the igni-
tion switch ON/RUN, 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 elec-
tronics. In addition, if the light begins to flash
after the bulb check, it indicates that someone
used an invalid key 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 keys provided with your new vehicle
have been programmed to the vehicle electron-
ics. See your authorized dealer if you require
replacement or additional keys for your vehicle.

NOTE:
Only keys that have been programmed to
the vehicle electronics can be used to start
the vehicle. Once a Sentry Key® has been
programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be pro-
grammed to any other vehicle.
CAUTION!
Always remove the Sentry Keys® from the
vehicle and lock all doors when leaving the
vehicle unattended.
At the time of purchase, the original owner is
provided with a four-digit Personal Identification
Number (PIN). Keep the PIN in a secure loca-
tion. This number is required for replacement of
keys. Duplication of keys consists of program-
ming a blank key to the vehicle electronics. A
blank key is one which has never been pro-
grammed. See your authorized dealer if you
require replacement or additional keys for your
vehicle.
NOTE:
When having the Sentry Key® Immobilizer
System serviced, bring all vehicle keys with
you to an authorized dealer.
