|
|
A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS |
|
|
|
Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system. This system |
|
|
|
consists of a Key Fob with Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) |
|
|
|
transmitter and a Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) with |
|
|
|
integral ignition switch. You can insert the Key Fob into |
|
|
|
the ignition switch with either side up. |
|
|
|
Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) |
|
|
|
The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) operates similarly to |
|
|
|
an ignition switch. It has four operating positions, three |
|
|
|
with detents and one that is spring-loaded. The detent |
|
|
|
positions are OFF, ACC, and ON/RUN. The START |
|
Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) |
|
position is a spring-loaded momentary contact position. |
|
||
|
|
||
When released from the START position, the switch |
1 |
— OFF |
|
automatically returns to the ON/RUN position. |

Key Fob
The Key Fob operates the ignition switch. Insert the square end of the key fob into the ignition switch located on the instrument panel and rotate to the desired position. It also contains the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and an emergency key, which stores in the rear of the Key Fob.
The emergency key allows for entry into the vehicle should the battery in the vehicle or the RKE transmitter go dead. The emergency key is also for locking the lower glove compartment. You can keep the emergency key with you when valet parking.
To remove the emergency key, slide the mechanical latch at the top of the Key Fob sideways with your thumb and then pull the key out with your other hand.

Emergency Key Removal
NOTE: You can insert the double-sided emergency key into the lock cylinder with either side up.
14 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
Removing Key Fob From Ignition
Place the shift lever in PARK. Turn the Key Fob to the OFF position and then remove the Key Fob.
NOTE: Power window switches will also remain active for up to 10 minutes after the ignition switch has been turned to OFF, depending upon the accessory delay setting. Opening the front door will cancel this feature.
WARNING!
•Before exiting a vehicle, always apply the parking brake, shift the transmission into PARK, and push ignition button to place ignition in OFF position. When leaving the vehicle, always lock your vehicle.
•Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
WARNING! (Continued)
•Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the shift lever.
•Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to children. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
•Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat build-up may cause serious injury or death.
CAUTION!
An unlocked car is an invitation to thieves. Always remove the Key Fob from the ignition and lock all 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, a chime will sound to remind you to remove the key.
NOTE: The Key-In-Ignition reminder only sounds when the Key Fob is placed in the OFF 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 Key Fob with factory-mated Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) to prevent unauthorized vehicle
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 15
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. |
2 |
After turning the ignition switch to the ON/RUN 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.
If the Vehicle Security 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 by an authorized dealer.
16 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
CAUTION!
The Sentry Key® Immobilizer system is not compatible with some after-market remote starting systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting problems and loss of security protection.
All of the Key Fobs provided with your new vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle electronics.
Replacement Keys
NOTE: Only Key Fobs that are programmed to the vehicle electronics can be used to start and operate the vehicle. Once a Key Fob is programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be reprogrammed to any other vehicle.
CAUTION!
Always remove the Key Fobs 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 Key Fobs. Duplication of Key Fobs may be performed at an authorized dealer, this procedure consists of programming a blank Key Fob to the vehicle electronics. A blank Key Fob is one that has never been programmed.
NOTE: When having the Sentry Key® Immobilizer system serviced, bring all vehicle Key Fobs with you to the authorized dealer.
Customer Key Programming
Programming Key Fobs or RKE transmitters may be performed at an authorized dealer.
General Information
The Sentry Key® 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.
•This device must accept any interference that may be received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 17
VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM — IF EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors for unauthorized entry and the ignition switch for unauthorized operation. When the alarm is activated, the 2 interior switches for door locks, power sliding doors and power liftgate are disabled. The Vehicle Security Alarm provides both audible and visible signals, for the first three minutes, the headlights will turn on, the park lamps and/or turn signals will flash and Vehicle Security Light will flash repeatedly and the horn will sound. For an additional 15 minutes, only the headlights, park lamps and/or turn signals and Vehicle Security Light will flash.
18 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
Rearming Of The System
The Vehicle Security Alarm will rearm itself after the 15 additional minutes of headlights and Vehicle Security Light flashing, if the Vehicle Security Alarm has not been disabled. If the condition which initiated the alarm is still present, the Vehicle Security Alarm will ignore that condition and monitor the remaining doors and ignition.
To Arm The System
Follow these steps to arm the Vehicle Security Alarm:
1.Remove the key from the ignition system (refer toStarting Procedures in Starting And Operating for further information).
•Make sure the vehicle ignition system is OFF and the key is physically removed from the ignition.
2.Perform one of the following methods to lock the vehicle:
•Press LOCK on the interior power door lock switch with the driver and/or passenger door open.

3. If any doors are open, close them.
To Disarm The System
The Vehicle Security Alarm can be disarmed using any of the following methods:
•Press the UNLOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
•Cycle the vehicle ignition system out of the OFF position. Insert a valid key into the ignition switch and turn the key to the ON position.
NOTE:
•The driver’s door key cylinder and the liftgate button on the RKE transmitter cannot arm or disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
•The Vehicle Security Alarm remains armed during power liftgate entry. Pressing the liftgate button will not disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm. If someone enters the vehicle through the liftgate and opens any door the alarm will sound.
•When the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, the interior power door lock switches will not unlock the doors.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the system will give you a false alarm. If one of the previously described arming sequences has occurred, the Vehicle Security Alarm will arm regardless of whether
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 19
you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle and open a door, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed and the battery 2 becomes disconnected, the Vehicle Security Alarm will remain armed when the battery is reconnected; the exterior lights will flash, the horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
Tamper Alert
If something has triggered the Vehicle Security Alarm in your absence, the horn will sound three times and the exterior lights blink three times when you unlock the doors. Check the vehicle for tampering.
Security System Manual Override
The Vehicle Security Alarm will not arm if you lock the doors using the manual door lock plunger.
20 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
ILLUMINATED ENTRY — IF EQUIPPED
