ROLLOVER WARNING

Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other types of vehicles. This vehicle has a higher ground clearance and a higher center of gravity than many passenger cars. It is capable of performing better in a wide variety of off-road applications. Driven in an unsafe manner, all vehicles can go out of control. Because of the higher center of gravity, if this vehicle is out of control it may roll over when some other vehicles may not.

Do not attempt sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers, or other unsafe driving actions that can cause loss of vehicle control. Failure to operate this vehicle safely may result in an accident, rollover of the vehicle, and severe or fatal injury. Drive carefully.

A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS

The authorized dealer that sold you your vehicle has the key code numbers for your vehicle locks. These numbers can be used to order duplicate keys from your authorized dealer. Ask your authorized dealer for these numbers and keep them in a safe place.

Ignition Key

Ignition Key Removal

Automatic Transmission

Place the shift lever in PARK. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position and remove the key.

Ignition Switch Positions

1 — ACC 4 — ON/RUN 2 — LOCK 5 — START 3 — OFF

key to the right slightly, then remove the key as described. If a malfunction occurs, the system will trap the key in the ignition cylinder to warn you that this safety feature is inoperable. The engine can be started and stopped but the key cannot be removed until you obtain service.

WARNING!

Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Don’t leave the keys in the ignition. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.

14 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

CAUTION!

An unlocked car is an invitation to thieves. Always remove key from the ignition and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.

Locking Doors With The Key

You can insert the key with either side up. To lock the door, turn the key rearward, to unlock the door, turn the key forward. For external door lock lubrication, refer to “Body Lubrication” in Section 7.

IGNITION AND STEERING LOCK

In the LOCK position, the steering and ignition systems are locked to provide antitheft protection for your vehicle. If the steering wheel is locked, it may be difficult to turn the key from the LOCK position when starting your vehicle. Move the steering wheel left and right while turning the key until it turns easily. The key can be

inserted or withdrawn only in the LOCK position. Push in on the key in the ignition lock cylinder to rotate to the LOCK position.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 15

WARNING!

The key cannot be turned to LOCK until the shift lever is in the PARK position. Do not attempt to pull the shift lever out of PARK after the key is in the LOCK position.

NOTE: The steering wheel will lock when the key is

removed, and when the steering wheel is turned around 115 degrees clockwise or 65 degrees counterclockwise from the center position.

Ignition Accessory Delay Feature

The power window switches, radio, hands–free system (if equipped), and power outlets will remain active for 10 minutes after the ignition switch is turned off. Opening either front door will cancel this feature.

For vehicles equipped with the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), the time for this feature is programmable. For details, refer to “Personal Settings (Customer-Programmable Features)”/“KEY OFF POWER DELAY > OFF” under “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in Section 3 of this manual.

SENTRY KEYT

The Sentry Keyt 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 ignition keys that have an embedded electronic chip (transponder) to prevent unauthorized vehicle operation. Therefore, only keys that are programmed to the vehicle can be used to start and operate

16 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

the vehicle. The system will shut the engine off in two seconds if someone uses an invalid key to try to start the engine.

NOTE: A key that has not been programmed is also considered an invalid key, even if it is cut to fit the ignition switch lock cylinder for that vehicle.

During normal operation, after turning on the ignition switch, the Vehicle Security Alarm Indicator 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 to try to start the engine. Either of these conditions will result in the engine being shut off after two seconds.

If the Vehicle Security Alarm Indicator 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.

NOTE:

•

The Sentry Keyt Immobilizer System is not compatible with some aftermarket remote starting systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting problems and loss of security protection.

•

Exxon/Mobil Speedpass™, additional Sentry Keyst, or any other transponder-equipped components on the same key chain will not cause a key-related (transponder) fault unless the additional part is physi- cally held against the ignition key being used when starting the vehicle. Cell phones, pagers, or other RF electronics will not cause interference with this system.

All of the keys provided with your new vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle electronics.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 17

Replacement Keys

NOTE: Only keys that are programmed to the vehicle electronics can be used to start and operate the vehicle. Once a Sentry Keyt is programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be programmed to any other vehicle.

CAUTION!

Always remove the Sentry Keyst from the vehicle and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.

At the time of purchase, the original owner is provided with a four-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN). Keep the PIN in a secure location. This number is required for authorized dealer replacement of keys. Duplication of keys may be performed at an authorized dealer or by following the customer key programming

procedure. This procedure consists of programming a blank key to the vehicle electronics. A blank key is one that has never been programmed.

NOTE: When having the Sentry Keyt Immobilizer System serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to an authorized dealer.

Customer Key Programming

If you have two valid Sentry Keyst, you can program new Sentry Keyst to the system by performing the following procedure:

1. Cut the additional Sentry Keyt Transponder blank(s) to match the ignition switch lock cylinder key code.

2. Insert the first valid key into the ignition switch. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position for at least three seconds, but no longer than 15 seconds. Then, turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position and remove the first key.

18 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

3. Insert the second valid key into the ignition switch. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position within 15 seconds. After 10 seconds, a chime will sound. In addition, the Vehicle Security Alarm Indicator Light will begin to flash. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position and remove the second key.

4. Insert a blank Sentry Keyt into the ignition switch. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position within 60 seconds. After 10 seconds, a single chime will sound. In addition, the Vehicle Security Alarm Indicator Light will stop flashing. To indicate that programming is complete, the Vehicle Security Alarm Indicator Light will turn on again for three seconds and then turn off.

The new Sentry Keyt is programmed. The Remote

Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter will also be programmed during this procedure.

Repeat this procedure to program up to eight keys. If you do not have a programmed Sentry Keyt, 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 system’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.

General Information

The Sentry Keyt system complies with FCC rules Part 15 and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following conditions:

•

This device may not cause harmful interference.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 19

•

This device must accept any interference that may be received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED

This system monitors the vehicle doors, liftgate, and ignition for unauthorized operation. When the Security Alarm System is activated, the system provides both audible and visual signals. The horn will sound repeatedly for three minutes and the headlights and security light in the instrument cluster will flash for an additional 15 minutes. The engine will not run until the system is disarmed.

To Set the Alarm:

The Security Alarm System will set when you use the power door locks or use the Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter to lock the doors. After all the doors are closed and locked, the security light in the instrument cluster will flash rapidly to signal that the system is

arming. The security light in the instrument panel cluster will flash rapidly for about 15 seconds to indicate that the alarm is being set. After the alarm is set, the security light will flash at a slower rate to indicate that the system is armed.

NOTE: If the security light stays on continuously during vehicle operation, have the system checked by your authorized dealer.

To Disarm the System:

Use the Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter to unlock the doors. If something has triggered the system in your absence, the horn will sound three times when you unlock the doors. Check the vehicle for tampering.

The Security Alarm System will also disarm if the vehicle is started with a programmed Sentry Keyt. If an unprogrammed Sentry Keyt is used to start a vehicle, the engine will start and run for two seconds and then shut down. After six unsuccessul attempts at starting the

20 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

engine, the system will shut down until the correct key is used. To exit alarming mode, press the RKE UNLOCK button or start the vehicle with a programmed Sentry Keyt.

The Security Alarm System is designed to protect your vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the system will arm unexpectedly. If you remain in the vehicle and lock the doors with the transmitter, the alarm will sound when you pull the door handle to exit.

NOTE: You may accidentally activate the Security Alarm System (horn sounds and lights flash) by entering the vehicle without using the key fob to unlock the door(s). The Security Alarm System can be disarmed with the key fob’s UNLOCK button or by inserting a programmed Sentry Keyt into the ignition and turning the key to the ON position.

ILLUMINATED ENTRY Vehicles Equipped With Power Door Locks

All interior lights will illuminate in the vehicle when the doors are unlocked using the RKE transmitter.

The interior lights will remain on for 30 seconds after the last door is closed, or until all doors are closed and either the ignition is turned to the ON position or a RKE transmitter LOCK button is pressed.

There is also a battery saver feature that will turn the interior lights off after 8 minutes if the ignition is OFF and a door is left open or the dimmer control is in the interior lights ON position.
