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 ten seconds), it indicates that there
is a fault in the electronics. Should this occur,
have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible
by your 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.

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.

CAUTION!
• 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 position.
NOTE:
Duplication of key fobs may be performed at
your 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.

tem serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to
your authorized dealer.

VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM —
IF EQUIPPED
The vehicle security alarm monitors the vehicle
doors, hood, liftgate, and the Keyless Go —
Ignition for unauthorized operation. While the
vehicle security alarm is armed, interior
switches for door locks and liftgate release are
disabled. If something triggers the alarm, the
vehicle security alarm will provide the following
audible and visible signals:
• The horn will pulse
• The turn signals will flash
• The vehicle security light in the instrument
cluster will flash

Rearming Of The System

If something triggers the alarm, and no action is
taken to disarm it, the vehicle security alarm will
turn the horn off after approximately 90 seconds,
and then the vehicle security alarm will rearm
itself.

alarm:
1. Make sure the vehicle's ignition is placed in
the "OFF" mode.
2. Perform one of the following methods to lock
the vehicle:
• Push the lock button on the interior power
door lock switch with the driver and/or
passenger door open.
