SENTRY KEYThe Sentry Key Immobilizer system preventsunauthorized vehicle operation by disabling theengine. The system does not need to be armedor activated. Operation is automatic, regardlessof whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked.

The system uses a key fob, keyless push buttonignition and a RF receiver to prevent unauthor-ized vehicle operation. Therefore, only key fobsthat are programmed to the vehicle can be usedto start and operate the vehicle. The systemcannot reprogram a key fob obtained from an-other vehicle.

After turning the ignition switch to the ON/RUNposition, the vehicle security light will turn on forthree seconds for a bulb check. If the light remainson after the bulb check, it indicates that there is aproblem with the electronics. In addition, if the lightbegins to flash after the bulb check, it indicates thatsomeone attempted to start the engine with aninvalid key fob. In the event that a valid key fob isused to start the engine but there is an issue withthe vehicle electronics, the engine will start andshut off after two seconds.

If the vehicle security light turns on duringnormal vehicle operation (vehicle running forlonger than ten seconds), it indicates that thereis a fault in the electronics. Should this occur,have the vehicle serviced as soon as possibleby an authorized dealer.

CAUTION!

The Sentry Key Immobilizer system is notcompatible with some aftermarket remotestarting systems. Use of these systems mayresult in vehicle starting problems and loss ofsecurity protection.
