HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
Essential Information
Each time direction instructions (left/right or
forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are
given, these must be intended as regarding
an occupant in the driver's seat. Special
cases not complying with this rule will be
properly specified in the text.
The figures in this User Guide are provided by
way of example only: this might imply that
some details of the image do not correspond
to the actual arrangement of your vehicle.
HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
In addition, the User Guide has been conceived considering vehicles with steering
wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible
that on vehicles with steering wheel on the
right side, the position or construction of
some controls is not exactly mirror-like with
respect to the figure.
To identify the chapter with the information
needed you can consult the index at the end
of this User Guide.
Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedicated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd
page. A few pages further there is a key for
getting to know the chapter order and the
relevant symbols in the tabs. There is anyway
a textual indication of the current chapter at
the side of each even page.
Symbols
Some vehicle components have colored labels whose symbols indicate precautions to
be observed when using this component.
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
vehicles. 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 while 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 a collision, rollover of the vehicle, and severe or
fatal injury. Drive carefully.
Rollover Warning Label
Failure to use the driver and passenger seat
belts provided is a major cause of severe or
fatal injury. In fact, the U.S. government
notes that the universal use of existing seat
belts could cut the highway death toll by
10,000 or more each year and could reduce
disabling injuries by two million annually. In
a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. Always buckle up.
2
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
While reading this User Guide you will find a
series of WARNINGS to prevent procedures
that could damage your vehicle.
There are also CAUTIONS that must be carefully followed to prevent incorrect use of the
components of the vehicle, which could
cause accidents or injuries.
VEHICLE CHANGES/ ALTERATIONS
IMPORTANT: Any change or alteration of the
vehicle might seriously affect its safety and
road holding, thus causing accidents, in
which the occupants could even be fatally
injured.

KEYS
Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system.
The ignition system consists of a key fob with
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and a START/
STOP push button ignition system. The Remote Keyless Entry system consists of a key
fob and Keyless Enter-N-Go feature if
equipped.
NOTE:
The key fob may not be found if it is located
next to a mobile phone, laptop or other electronic device; these devices may block the
key fob’s wireless signal.
Key Fob
The key fob allows you to lock or unlock the
doors and liftgate from distances up to approximately 66ft (20m) using a handheld key
fob. The key fob does not need to be pointed
at the vehicle to activate the system.
• This feature allows the driver to operate
the ignition switch with the push of a
button as long as the key fob is in the
passenger compartment.
• The Keyless Push Button Ignition has
three operating positions which are labeled and will illuminate when in position.
The three positions are: OFF, ACC, and
ON/RUN. During start, RUN will
illuminate.
NOTE:
In case the ignition switch does not change
with the push of a button, the key fob may
have a low or dead battery. In this situation, a
back up method can be used to operate the
ignition switch. Put the nose side (side opposite of the emergency key) of the key fob
against the ENGINE START/STOP button and
push to operate the ignition switch.

WARNING!
• Always remove the key fobs from the
vehicle and lock all doors when leaving
the vehicle unattended.
• For vehicles equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go — Ignition, always remember to place the ignition in the OFF
mode.
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 keys with you
to an authorized dealer.

IGNITION SWITCH
Keyless Enter-N-Go — Ignition
This feature allows the driver to operate the
ignition switch with the push of a button as
long as the key fob is in the passenger compartment.
The push button ignition has three operating
modes. The three modes are OFF, ACC, and
RUN.
NOTE:
If the ignition switch does not change with
the push of a button, the key fob may have a
low or dead battery. In this situation, a back
up method can be used to operate the ignition switch. Put the nose side (side opposite
of the emergency key) of the key fob against
the ENGINE START/STOP button and push to
operate the ignition switch.
START/STOP Ignition Button
The push button ignition can be placed in the
following modes:
OFF
• The engine is stopped.
• Some electrical devices (e.g. Central locking, alarm, etc.) are still available.
ACC
• Engine is not started.
• Some electrical devices are available.
RUN
• Driving position.
• All the electrical devices are available.
NOTE:
The vehicle will not start if the key fob is

is opened.
WARNING!
• When leaving the vehicle, always remove
the key fob from the vehicle and lock
your vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle,
or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
• 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 gear selector.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to

General Information
The following regulatory statement applies to
all Radio Frequency (RF) devices equipped in
this vehicle:
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules and with Industry Canada licenseexempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful
interference.
2. This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
NOTE:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
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.
CAUTION!
The Sentry Key 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.
All of the key fobs provided with your new
vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle
electronics.
16
Irregular Operation
The system uses a key fob, an Ignition Node
Module, Keyless Push Button Ignition and a
RF receiver to prevent unauthorized vehicle
operation. Therefore, only key fobs that are
programmed to the vehicle can be used to
start and operate the vehicle. The system will
not allow the engine to crank if an invalid key
fob is 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.
NOTE:
A key fob that has not been programmed is
also considered an invalid key.
During normal operation, after placing the
keyless ignition in the ON/RUN mode, 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 try 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.
VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM — IF EQUIPPED
The vehicle security alarm monitors the vehicle doors, hood, liftgate, and the Keyless
Enter-N-Go — Ignition for unauthorized operation. While the vehicle security alarm is
armed, interior switches for door locks and
liftgate release are disabled. If something
triggers the alarm, the vehicle security alarm
will provide the following audible and visible
signals:
• The horn will pulse
• The turn signals will flash
• The vehicle security light in the instrument cluster will flash
To Arm The System
Follow these steps to arm the vehicle security
alarm:
1. Make sure the vehicle’s ignition is placed
in the “OFF” mode.
2. Perform one of the following methods to

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
during power liftgate entry. Pushing 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
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
