VEHICLE THEFT SECURITY SYSTEM
The Vehicle Theft/Security System (VTSS) is
designed to protect against whole vehicle theft. The
system monitors vehicle doors, liftgate, and ignition

Some vehicles are equipped with a standard vehi-
cle theft security system. This system is designed to
protect against whole vehicle theft. This system mon-
itors the vehicle doors, liftgate, and ignition key cyl-
inders for unauthorized operation.
SENTRY KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) is
available as a factory-installed option on this vehicle.
It is designed to provide passive protection against
unauthorized vehicle use by disabling the engine,
after two (2) seconds of running, whenever an invalid
key is used to start the vehicle. The SKIS is active
whenever the ignition is on and does not require any
customer intervention. The primary components of
the system are the Sentry Key Immobilizer Module
(SKIM), Sentry Key (ignition key with a transponder
molded into the head), indicator light, and the Pow-
ertrain Control Module (PCM). The SKIM is mounted
to the steering column with the molded, integral
antenna mounted on the trim ring surrounding the
ignition lock cylinder. The indicator light, is located
in the instrument cluster.
