SENTRY KEYThe Sentry Key Immobilizer System prevents unautho-rized vehicle operation by disabling the engine. Thesystem does not need to be armed or activated. Operationis automatic, regardless of whether the vehicle is lockedor unlocked.The system uses a Key Fob with a factory-mated RemoteKeyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and Wireless IgnitionNode (WIN) to prevent unauthorized vehicle operation.Therefore, only Key Fobs that are programmed to thevehicle can be used to start and operate the vehicle. Thesystem will not allow the engine to crank if an invalidKey Fob is used to start and operate the vehicle.NOTE: A Key Fob that has not been programmed is alsoconsidered an invalid key.During normal operation, after turning on the ignitionswitch, the Vehicle Security Light will turn on for threeseconds for a bulb check. If the light remains on after thebulb check, it indicates that there is a problem with theelectronics. In addition, if the light begins to flash afterthe bulb check, it indicates that someone used an invalidKey Fob to try to start the engine. Either of theseconditions will result in the engine being shut off aftertwo seconds.If the Vehicle Security Light turns on during normalvehicle 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 aspossible by an authorized dealer.CAUTION!The Sentry Key Immobilizer system is not compat-ible with some after-market remote starting systems.Use of these systems may result in vehicle startingproblems and loss of security protection.16 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE |
