Repeat this procedure to program up to eight keys. If you
do not have a programmed Sentry Key , contact your
authorized dealer for details.
NOTE: If a programmed key is lost, see your authorized
dealer to have all remaining keys erased from the sys-
tem's memory. This will prevent the lost key from
starting your vehicle. The remaining keys must then be
reprogrammed. All vehicle keys must be taken to an
authorized dealer at the time of service to be
reprogrammed.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 17
VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors,
liftgate, and ignition for unauthorized operation. When
the Vehicle Security Alarm is activated, interior switches
for door locks are disabled. The alarm provides both
audible and visual signals, the horn will sound repeatedly
for three minutes, while the headlights, park lamps
and/or turn signals will flash for an additional 15 minutes.
NOTE: The Panic and Security alarms are quite differ-
ent. Please take a moment to activate the Panic and
Security modes to hear the differences in the horn. In case
one should go off in the future, you will need to know
which mode has been activated in order to deactivate it.

To Arm The System

Remove the keys from the ignition switch and exit the
vehicle. Lock the doors and liftgate by pressing the power
door LOCK switch or the LOCK button on the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. Close all the doors.
