WARNING!
Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leav-
ing unattended children in a vehicle is danger-
ous for a number of reasons. A child or others
could be seriously or fatally injured. Do not
leave the Key Fob in the ignition. A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.
CAUTION!
An unlocked car is an invitation to thieves.
Always remove the Key Fob from the ignition
and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle
unattended.

Key-In-Ignition Reminder

Opening the driver's door when the Key Fob is
in the ignition and the ignition switch position is
OFF or ACC, sounds a signal to remind you to
remove the Key Fob.
NOTE:
The Key-In-Ignition reminder only sounds
when the Key Fob is placed in the LOCK or
ACC ignition position.

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 the factory-mated Key Fob
with Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
and Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) 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.
After turning the ignition switch to the ON
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 used an
invalid Key Fob to start the engine. Either of
these conditions will result in the engine being
shut off after two seconds.
