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. Keyless Enter-N-Go Feature This vehicle may be equipped with the Keyless Enter- N-Go feature, refer to “Starting Procedures” in “Starting And Operating” for further information. Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) operates similar to an ignition switch. It has four operating positions, three with detents and one that is spring-loaded. The detent posi- tions are OFF, ACC, and ON/RUN. The START position is a spring-loaded momentary contact position. When released from the START position, the switch automati- cally returns to the ON/RUN position. If your vehicle is equipped with Keyless Enter- NOTE: N-Go, the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) will display the ignition switch position (OFF/ACC/ RUN). Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) — If Equipped” in “Understanding Your Instru- ment Panel” for further information. 2 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 13 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 posi- tion. 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 Key Fob go dead. The emergency key is also for locking the glove box. You can keep the emergency key with you when valet park- ing. NOTE: Entering a vehicle using the emergency key with the theft alarm armed, will result in the alarm sounding. Insert the Key Fob (even if the Key Fob battery is dead) into the ignition switch to disarm theft alarm. 1 — OFF 2 — ACCESSORY (ACCESSORY) 3 — ON/RUN 4 — START 14 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 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 cylinders with either side up. 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. With the Keyless Enter-N-Go system, the EVIC will display the ignition switch position “OFF/ACC/RUN”. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) — If Equipped” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further information. NOTE: The power window switches, radio, power sunroof (if equipped), and ignition-powered power out- lets will remain active for up to 60 minutes after the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK position. Opening either door will cancel this feature. The time for this feature is programmable. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/Personal Settings (Customer- Programmable Features)” in “Understanding Your In- strument Panel” for further information. 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. Do not leave the Key Fob in the ignition or a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. 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. THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 15 CAUTION! An unlocked car is an invitation to thieves. Always remove the Key Fob from vehicle, cycle the ignition OFF with Keyless Enter-N-Go, and lock all doors 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, sounds a signal to remind you to remove the Key Fob. The Key-In-Ignition reminder only sounds NOTE: when the Key Fob is placed in the OFF or ACC ignition position. If your vehicle is equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go, opening the driver’s door when the vehicle’s ignition switch is placed in ACC or ON/RUN (engine stopped) 16 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE will cause the reminder chime to sound. Refer to “Start- ing Procedures” in “Starting And Operating” for further information. SENTRY KEY姞 The Sentry Key威 Immobilizer System prevents unauthor- ized 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 operation. 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. After placing the ignition switch in the ON/RUN posi- tion, 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. This condition 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 sec- onds), 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. CAUTION! The Sentry Key威 Immobilizer system is not compat- ible 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 programmed to any other vehicle. CAUTION! • Always remove the Key Fobs from the vehicle and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unat- tended. • For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go, always remember to place the ignition in OFF. 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. THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 17 Duplication of Key Fobs may be performed at an autho- rized 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威 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威 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. 18 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE • This device must accept any interference that may be received, including interference that may cause unde- sired operation. VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the vehicle doors and trunk for unauthorized entry and the ignition switch for unauthorized operation. While the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, interior switches for door locks and decklid release are disabled. If something triggers the alarm, the Vehicle Security Alarm will provide the fol- lowing audible and visible signals: the horn will pulse, the headlights, park lamps and/or turn signals will flash, and the Vehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash. Rearming Of The System If something triggers the alarm, and no action is taken to disarm it, the Vehicle Security Alarm will turn the horn off after three minutes, turn all of the visual signals off after an additional 15 minutes, and then the Vehicle Security Alarm will rearm itself. To Arm The System Follow these steps to arm the theft alarm: 1. Remove the key from the ignition system (refer to ⬙Starting Procedures⬙ in ⬙Starting And Operating⬙ for further information). • For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go, make sure the vehicle ignition system is ⬙OFF⬙. • For vehicles not equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go, 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. • Press the LOCK button on the exterior Passive Entry Door Handle with a valid Key Fob available in the same exterior zone (refer to ⬙Keyless Enter-N-Go⬙ in ⬙Things To Know Before Starting Your Vehicle⬙ for further informa- tion). • Press the LOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. 3. If any doors are open, close them. To Disarm The System Vehicles Not Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go Either press the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter or insert a valid ignition key into the ignition switch. THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 19 NOTE: • The driver’s door key cylinder and the trunk button on the RKE transmitter cannot arm or disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm. • The Vehicle Security Alarm remains armed during trunk entry. Pressing the TRUNK button will not disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm. If someone enters the vehicle through the trunk, 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 Vehicle Security Alarm will give you a false alarm. If one of the previously-described arming sequences has oc- curred, the Vehicle Security Alarm will arm regardless of whether you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in the 20 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 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 becomes disconnected, the Vehicle Security Alarm will remain armed when the battery is reconnected. The exterior lights will flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm. Vehicles Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go Either press the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter, pull on the front driver or passenger door handle (refer to “Keyless Enter-N-Go” in “Things To Know Before Start- ing Your Vehicle” for further information) with a valid key fob in range, or press the Keyless Enter-N-Go Start/ Stop button (requires at least one valid Key Fob in the vehicle), or insert a valid Key Fob into the ignition switch (if the Start/Stop button is removed) and rotate it to the ON/RUN position. Tamper Alert If something has triggered the Vehicle Security Alarm in your absence, the horn will sound three times when you disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm. Check the vehicle for tampering. ILLUMINATED ENTRY The courtesy lights will turn on when you use the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter to unlock the doors or open any door. This feature also turns on the approach lighting in the outside mirrors (if equipped). Refer to “Mirrors” in “Understanding The Features Of Your Vehicle” for fur- ther information. The lights will fade to off after approximately 30 seconds or they will immediately fade to off once the ignition switch is turned to ON/RUN from the OFF position. THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 21 Inserting the Key Fob with RKE transmitter into NOTE: the ignition switch disables the system from responding to any button presses from that RKE transmitter. Driving at speeds 5 mph (8 km/h) and above disables the system from responding to all RKE transmitter buttons for all RKE transmitters. NOTE: • The front courtesy overhead console and door cour- tesy lights do not turn on if the dimmer control is in the ⬙Dome ON⬙ position (extreme top position). • The Illuminated Entry system will not operate if the is in the “Dome defeat” position dimmer control (extreme bottom position). REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE) The RKE system allows you to lock or unlock the doors, open the trunk, or activate the Panic Alarm from dis- tances up to approximately 66 ft (20 m) using a hand-held Key Fob with RKE transmitter.
