POWER WAGON: THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
Your Power Wagon is a specialty vehicle, equipped with several features not available on other production trucks. It is very important that you read the following sections of the owner’s manual before operation.
Features
(See page 80 for more information.)
Instrument Panel and Controls
(See page 166 for more information.)
Operation
(See page 231 for more information.)
Emergencies
(See page 346 for more information.)
A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS
The double sided keys may be inserted into the locks with either side up. The keys for your new vehicle are enclosed in a plastic bag with a bar code label affixed to the front. The bar code can be used to order duplicate keys from your dealer or a locksmith. If you received your keys without the bag, ask your dealer to give you the number.
Key-In-Ignition Reminder
If you open the driver’s door when the key is in the ignition switch, a chime will sound to remind you to remove the key.
CAUTION!
An unlocked vehicle is an invitation to thieves. Always remove the key from the ignition and lock all the doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.
SENTRY KEY — IF EQUIPPED
With this system, an electronically coded ignition key sends a signal to the vehicle electronics. If the electronics recognizes the signal, the vehicle will start and continue to run. If the system does not recognize the signal the vehicle will start and run for a maximum of 2 seconds after the initial key ON. After six unsuccessful attempts at starting, the system will shut down until the correct key is used.
NOTE: The Sentry Key Immobilizer System is not compatible with remote starting systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection. Additional Sentry Keys or Mobil Speed-pass™ devices held against or immediately adjacent to the ignition key when starting the engine may cause vehicle starting problems. If a problem occurs, remove the Sentry Key from the key-ring and attempt to start the vehicle again. Pagers, cell phones, walkman, etc. will have no effect on this system.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 13
The Security Light , located in the instrument cluster, will illuminate for about 3 seconds when the ignition switch is first turned to the ON position. If the vehicle electronics do not receive a valid signal from the ignition 2 key, the Security Light will flash continuously to signal that the vehicle has been immobilized. If the Security Light remains on during vehicle operation, it indicates a fault in the system electronics. If this option was ordered, all of the keys provided with your new vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle electronics.
Replacement Keys
NOTE: Only keys that have been programmed to the vehicle electronics can be used to start the vehicle. Once a Sentry Key has been programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be programmed to any other vehicle.
At the time of purchase, the original owner is provided with a four digit PIN. This number is required for dealer
14 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
replacement of keys. Duplication of keys may be performed at an authorized dealer or by using the Customer Key Programming procedure. This procedure consists of programming a blank key to the vehicle electronics. A blank key is one which has never been programmed and needs to be cut.
NOTE: When having the Sentry Key System serviced, bring all vehicle keys to the dealer.
Customer Key Programming
You can program new keys to the system if you have two valid keys by doing the following:
1.Insert the first valid key into the ignition and turn the ignition to the ON position for at least 3 seconds but no longer than 15 seconds. Turn the ignition back to the OFF position and remove the first key.
2.Insert the second valid key and switch the ignition to the ON position within 15 seconds. After 10 seconds the
Security Light will begin to flash. Turn the ignition back to the OFF position and remove the second key.
3. Insert a blank Sentry Key into the ignition and switch the ignition to the ON position within 60 seconds of having removed the second key. After 10 seconds theSecurity Light will stop flashing, then turn on for 3 seconds; then turn off.
The new Sentry Key has been programmed. Repeat this process to program up to an additional 6 keys. A maximum of 8 keys can be programmed to the system, including the original keys provided with the vehicle.

SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED
This system monitors the vehicle doors and ignition for unauthorized operation. When the alarm is activated, the system provides both audible and visual signals. For the first 3 minutes the horn will sound and the headlights and security telltale will flash repeatedly. For an additional 15 minutes only the headlights and security telltale will flash. The engine will run only if a valid Sentry Key is used to start the vehicle. Use of the Sentry Key will disable the alarm.
Rearming of the System:
The security system will rearm itself after the 15 additional minutes of headlights and security telltale 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.
