Sentry Key; Alarm; Switching On The Alarm; Irregular Operation - Jeep Renegade Owner's Handbook Manual

SENTRY KEY®
The Sentry Key ® system, prevents
unauthorised use of the vehicle,
disabling engine starting.
The system does not need to be
enabled/activated: operation is
automatic, regardless of the fact that
the vehicle's doors are locked or
unlocked.
When the ignition device is taken to
MAR, the Sentry Key ® system
identifies the code transmitted by the
key. If the code is recognised as valid,
the Sentry Key ® system enables
engine starting.
When the ignition device is brought
back to STOP, the Sentry Key ®
system deactivates the control unit
controlling the engine, thus preventing
its starting.
For the correct engine starting
procedures, see the instructions in the
"Starting the engine" paragraph,
"Starting and driving" chapter.

MAR; if it is still blocked, try with the
other keys provided. If it is still not
