Request For Additional 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 programmed
to any other vehicle.
WARNING!
• Always remove the key fobs from the ve-
hicle and lock all doors when leaving the
vehicle unattended.
• For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-
N-Go — Ignition, always remember to
place the ignition in the OFF mode.
Duplication of key fobs may be performed at an
authorized dealer. 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 Sys-
tem serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to
an authorized dealer.
