Sentry Key Immobilizer
System
®
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System
prevents unauthorised 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 with Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter, an
ignition switch and a RF (Radio
Frequency) receiver to prevent
unauthorised vehicle operation.
Therefore, only key fobs expressly
programmed can be used to start and
operate the vehicle.
After placing the ignition switch in the
RUN position, the Vehicle Security
Light (see picture) will light up for a
three seconds bulb check.
If the light remains on after the bulb
check, it indicates that there is a
problem with the electronics: this
condition will result in the engine
being shut off after two seconds.
If the Vehicle Security Light turns on
during normal vehicle operation
(engine running for longer than 10
seconds), an electronic fault is
detected. Should this occur, ask as soon
as possible the Service Network for
assistance.
CAUTION!
®
The Sentry Key Immobilizer system is
not compatible with some remote
starting systems that can be installed
in aftermarket.
Use of these systems may result in
vehicle starting problems and loss of
security protection.
All key fobs provided with the new
vehicle have been updated with the
vehicle electronics and are therefore
able to guarantee correct functioning
and protection.
