Programming And Requesting Additional

Programming the key fob may be performed by an
authorized dealer.
NOTE:
●
Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, it
cannot be repurposed and reprogrammed to another
vehicle.
●
Only key fobs that are programmed to the vehicle
electronics can be used to start and operate the
vehicle.
WARNING!
●
Always remove the key fobs from the vehicle
and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle
unattended.
●
For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter 'n Go™

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.

When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer system
serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to an
authorized dealer.

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 cannot reprogram
a key fob obtained from another vehicle.
After placing the ignition in the ON/RUN position, the
Vehicle Security Light will turn on for three seconds for
a bulb check. If the light remains on after the bulb
check, it indicates that there is a problem with the
electronics. In addition, if the light begins to flash after
the bulb check, it indicates that someone attempted to
start the engine with an invalid key fob. If a valid key
fob is used to start the engine but there is an issue with
the vehicle electronics, the engine will start and shut off
after two seconds.
If the Vehicle Security Light turns on during normal
vehicle operation (vehicle running for longer than 10
seconds), it indicates that there is a fault in the
electronics. Should this occur, have the vehicle serviced
as soon as possible by an authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
The Sentry Key Immobilizer system is not compatible
with some aftermarket Remote Start systems. Use of
these systems may result in vehicle starting problems
and loss of security protection.
All of the key fobs provided with your new vehicle have
been programmed to the vehicle electronics
357.
NOTE:
A key fob that has not been programmed is also
considered an invalid key.

switch with the push of a button as long as the key fob
is in the passenger compartment.
