12 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS
Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system. This system consists of a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter with integrated ignition Key and a Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) with integral ignition switch. You can insert the double-sided key into the ignition switch with either side up.
Wireless Ignition Node (WIN)
The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) operates similar to an ignition switch. It has four operating positions, three of which are detented and one spring-loaded. The detented positions are OFF, ACC, and ON. The START position is a spring-loaded momentary contact position. When released from the START position, the switch automatically returns to the detented ON position.
WIN Ignition Positions
Integrated Ignition Key
The integrated ignition key operates the ignition switch. It also contains the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and a valet key, which stores in the rear of the transmitter.
The valet key allows for entry into the vehicle should the battery in the vehicle or the transmitter go dead. The valet key is also for locking the glove box. You can keep the valet key with you when valet parking.
To remove the valet key from the transmitter, slide the mechanical latch at the top of the transmitter sideways with your thumb and then pull the key out with your other hand.

Valet Key Removal
NOTE: You can insert the double-sided valet key into the lock cylinder with either side up.
14 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
Tip Start Feature
1.Do not press the accelerator pedal during this process.
2.Insert the integrated ignition key into the ignition switch.
3.Turn the ignition switch to the START position and release it as soon as the starter engages.
The starter motor will continue to run and will disengage automatically when the engine begins running.
Ignition Key Removal
Place the gear selector lever in PARK. Turn the ignition key to the OFF position and then remove the key.
NOTE: Power Window switches will also remain active for up to 90 seconds after the ignition switch has been turned OFF, depending upon the accessory delay setting. Opening the front door will cancel this feature.
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 key 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 from the ignition and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.
Key-In-Ignition Reminder
If you open the driver's door with the integrated ignition key in the ignition, a chime will sound to remind you to remove the key.
NOTE: The Key-In-Ignition reminder only sounds when the integrated ignition key is placed in the OFF or ACC position.
SENTRY KEYT IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM
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 the factory-mated Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter with integrated key and Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) to prevent unauthorized vehicle operation. Therefore, only RKE transmitters that are programmed to the vehicle can be used to start and operate
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 15
the vehicle. The system will not allow the engine to crank if an invalid RKE transmitter is used to operate the ignition switch.
After turning the ignition switch to the ON position, the 2 Vehicle Security Light located on the instrument cluster 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 RKE transmitter to start the engine. Either of these conditions will result in the engine being shut off after two seconds.
If the Vehicle Security Light, located on the instrument cluster, 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.
16 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE:
²The Sentry Keyt Immobilizer system is not compatible with aftermarket remote starting systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting problems and loss of security protection.
²Exxon/Mobil Speedpass™, additional RKE transmitters, or any other transponder-equipped components on the same key chain will not cause a fault unless the additional part is physically held against the transmitter being used to start the vehicle. Cell phones, pagers, or other RF electronics will not cause interference with this system.
All of the RKE transmitters provided with your new vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle electronics.
Replacement Keys
NOTE: Only RKE transmitters that are programmed to the vehicle electronics can be used to start and operate the vehicle. Once a transmitter is programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be programmed to any other vehicle.
CAUTION!
Always remove the keys 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 RKE transmitters. Duplication of RKE transmitters may be performed at an authorized dealer or by using the Customer Key Programming procedure. This procedure consists of
programming a blank transmitter to the vehicle electronics. A blank transmitter is one that has never been programmed.
NOTE: When having the Sentry Keyt Immobilizer system serviced, bring all vehicle RKE transmitters with you to the authorized dealer.
Customer Key Programming
If you have two valid RKE transmitters with integrated keys, you can program new transmitters to the system by performing the following steps:
1.Insert the first valid integrated key into the ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to the ON position for at least three seconds, but no longer than 15 seconds. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position and remove the first key.
2.Insert the second valid integrated key and turn the ignition switch to the ON position within 15 seconds.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 17
After 10 seconds, a chime will sound and the Vehicle Security Light will begin to flash. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position and remove the second key.
3. Insert a blank integrated key into the ignition switch 2 and turn the ignition switch to the ON position within 60 seconds. After 10 seconds, a single chime will sound and the Vehicle Security Light will stop flashing, turn the ignition switch on again for three seconds, and then turn
it off.
The new integrated key 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 RKE transmitter with integrated key, contact your authorized dealer for details.
18 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
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:
²This device may not cause harmful interference.
²This device must accept any interference that may be received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM Ð IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alarm system monitors the vehicle doors for unauthorized entry and the ignition switch for unauthorized operation. When the alarm is activated, the system provides both audible and visual signals. For the first three minutes the horn will sound and the headlights and Vehicle Security Light will flash repeatedly. For an additional 15 minutes only the headlights and security telltale will flash. The engine will run only if a valid key is used to start the vehicle.
Rearming Of The System
The Security System will rearm itself after the 15 additional minutes of headlights and Vehicle Security Light flashing, if the system has not been disabled. If the condition which initiated the alarm is still present, the system will ignore that condition and monitor the remaining doors and ignition.
Arming The System
Remove the key from the ignition switch and either press a power door lock switch while the driver or passenger door is open or press the LOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. After all the doors are locked and closed the Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash rapidly to signal that the system is arming. The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument panel cluster will flash rapidly for about 16 seconds to indicate that the alarm is being set. After the alarm is set, the Vehicle Security Light, located in the instrument cluster, will flash at a slower rate to indicate that the system is armed.
NOTE: If the Vehicle Security Light stays on continuously during vehicle operation, have the system checked by your authorized dealer.
