A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS You can insert the double sided keys into the locks with either side up. The dealer that sold you your new vehicle has the key code numbers for your vehicle locks. These numbers can be used to order duplicate keys only from your dealer. Ask your dealer for these numbers and keep them in a safe place. CAUTION! An unlocked car is an invitation to thieves. Always remove the key from the ignition and lock all the doors when leaving the vehicle unattended. Sentry Key Engine Immobilizer — If Equipped The Sentry Key Immobilizer System prevents unautho- rized operation of the vehicle by disabling the engine. The system will shut the engine down after 2 seconds of running if an invalid key is used to start the vehicle. This system utilizes ignition keys which have an electronic chip (transponder) embedded into them. Only keys that have been programmed to the vehicle can be used to start and operate the vehicle for more than the two second validation time period. The Sentry Key Immobilizer System does not need to be armed or activated. Operation of the system is automatic regardless of whether or not the vehicle is locked or unlocked. During normal operation, the Sentry Key Indicator light, located on the instrument panel upper cover, will come on for 3 seconds immediately after the ignition is turned on for a bulb check. Afterwards, if the bulb remains on solid, this indicates a problem with the electronics. If the bulb begins to flash after the bulb check, this indicates that an invalid key has been used to start the vehicle or there is a communication failure between the transponder and the Sentry Key Immobilizer module. Both of these conditions will result in the engine being shut down after 2 seconds of running. Keep in mind that a key which has not been programmed is also considered an invalid key even if it is cut to fit the ignition for that vehicle. All of the keys provided with your new vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle electronics. THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 9 2

If the Sentry Key Immobilizer System indicator light comes on during normal vehicle operation (it has been running for longer than 10 seconds) a fault has been detected in the electronics and the vehicle should be serviced as soon as possible. NOTE: • The Sentry Immobilizer System is not compatible with remote starting systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting problems and loss of security protection. • Mobil SpeedPass, additional sentry keys, or any other transponder equipped components on the same key- chain will not cause a key-related (transponder) fault unless the additional part is physically held against the ignition key being used when starting the vehicle. Cell phones, pagers, or other RF Elec- tronics will also not cause interference with this system. The Theft Alarm Light, located on top of the instrument panel, 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 key, the theft alarm light will flash continuously to signal that the vehicle has been immobilized. If the Theft Alarm Light remains On during vehicle operation, it indicates a fault in the system electronics. All of the keys provided with your new vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle electronics. Important Note about Service A four digit PIN is needed to service the Sentry Key Immobilizer System. This number can be obtained by the dealership. However, this number can also be found on your customer invoice that you were given upon receipt of your vehicle. YOU MUST BRING ALL SENTRY KEYS that are programmed to your vehicle with you when bringing your vehicle in for service. 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 can not be programmed to any other vehicle. At the time of purchase, the original owner is provided with a four digit PIN number. This number is required 10 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
