GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
SENTRY KEY
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System prevents
unauthorized vehicle operation by disabling the
engine. The system does not need to be armed or
activated. Operation is automatic, regardless of
whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked.
The system uses a key fob, keyless push button
ignition and a Radio Frequency (RF) receiver to
prevent unauthorized vehicle operation. Therefore,
only key fobs 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 an
invalid key fob is used to start the engine.
If the Vehicle Security Light is on after the ignition
is placed in the ON/RUN position, it indicates that
there is a problem with the electronics.
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 electronics.
NOTE:
A key fob that has not been programmed is also
considered an invalid key Ú page 270.
