Opening the driver's door when the key is in the
ignition and the ignition switch is in the STOP
(OFF/LOCK) position, sounds a signal to remove
the key.
NOTE:
A message will not be displayed in the instru -
ment cluster display.
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.
The system uses ignition keys which have an
embedded electronic chip (transponder) to
prevent unauthorized vehicle operation.
Therefore, only keys that are programmed to
the vehicle can be used to start and operate the
vehicle.
NOTE:
A key which has not been programmed is also
considered an invalid key, even if it is cut to fit
the ignition switch lock cylinder for that vehicle.
If the vehicle security light is on after the key is
turned to the MAR (ON/RUN) position, it
indicates that there is a problem with the
electronics.
1 — STOP (OFF/LOCK)
2 — MAR (ON/RUN)
3 — AVV (START)
WARNING!

Before exiting a vehicle, always shift the
automatic transmission into PARK or the
manual transmission into REVERSE, apply
the parking brake, turn the engine OFF,
remove the key fob from the ignition 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 unat -
tended 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 transmission gear selector.

Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to chil -
dren. 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.
CAUTION!
An unlocked vehicle is an invitation. Always
remove the key from the ignition and lock all
the doors when leaving the vehicle
unattended.
