Replacement Key Fobs

NOTE:
Only key fobs that are programmed to the
vehicle electronics can be used to start and
operate the vehicle. Once a key fob is pro-
grammed 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.
Duplication of key fobs may be performed at an
authorized dealer or by following the customer
key programming procedure. This procedure
consists of programming a blank key fob to the
vehicle electronics. A blank key fob is one that
has never been programmed.
NOTE:
When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer
System serviced, bring all vehicle key fobs
with you to an authorized dealer.

Customer Key Programming

If you have two valid key fobs, you can program
new key fobs to the Sentry Key Immobilizer
system by performing the following procedure:
1. Cut the additional key(s) to match the ignition
and lock cylinder key code.
22
2. Insert the first valid key into the ignition.
Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position for
at least three seconds, but no longer than
15 seconds. Then, place the ignition in the
LOCK position and remove the first key.
3. Insert the second valid key into the ignition.
Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position
within 15 seconds. After 10 seconds, a chime
will sound. In addition, the Vehicle Security
Light will begin to flash. Place the ignition in
the LOCK position and remove the second
key.
4. Insert a blank key into the ignition. Place the
ignition in the ON/RUN position within
60 seconds. After 10 seconds, a single chime
will sound. In addition, the Vehicle Security
Light will stop flashing. To indicate that pro-
gramming is complete, the Vehicle Security
Light will turn on again for three seconds and
then turn off.
The new key is programmed. The key fob will
also be programmed during this procedure.
Repeat this procedure to program up to eight
keys. If you do not have a programmed key fob,
contact your authorized dealer for details.
NOTE:
If a programmed key fob is lost, see your
authorized dealer to have all remaining key
fobs erased from the system's memory. This
will prevent the lost key from starting your
vehicle. The remaining key fobs must then
be reprogrammed. All vehicle key fobs must
be taken to an authorized dealer at the time
of service to be reprogrammed.
VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM —
IF EQUIPPED
This vehicle security alarm monitors the doors,
liftgate, and ignition switch for unauthorized
operation.
When the alarm is activated, the interior
switches for door locks are disabled. The vehicle
security alarm provides both audio and visual
signals, the horn will sound, the headlights, park
lamps and/or turn signals will flash repeatedly
for three minutes. If the disturbance is still
present (driver's door, passenger door, other
doors, ignition) after three minutes, the parking
lights and tail lights will flash for an additional
15 minutes.

To Arm The System

1. Remove the key fob from the ignition and get
out of the vehicle.
2. Lock the door using either the power door
lock switch or the key fob lock button and
close all doors.
