Ignition Or Accessory On Message
Opening the driver’s door when the ignition is in
ACC or ON (engine not running), a chime will
sound to remind you to cycle the ignition to OFF.
In addition to the chime, the ignition or acces-
sory on message will display in the cluster.
NOTE:
With the Uconnect system, the power win-
dow switches, radio and power outlets will
remain active for up to 10 minutes after the
ignition is cycled to the OFF position. Open-
ing either front door will cancel this feature.
The time for this feature is programmable.
Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
WARNING!
•
Before exiting a vehicle, always shift the
manual transmission into REVERSE, apply
the parking brake, turn the engine OFF,
remove the key fob from the ignition and
lock your vehicle. If equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go — Ignition, always make sure
the keyless ignition node is in “OFF” mode,
remove the key fob from the vehicle and
lock the vehicle.
•
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.

WARNING! (Continued)
•
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unat-
tended is dangerous for a number of rea-
sons. 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 chil-
dren, and do not leave the ignition of 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.
CAUTION!
An unlocked vehicle is an invitation. Always
remove the key fobs from vehicle, place the
ignition in the OFF position and lock all doors
when leaving the vehicle unattended.
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 a factory-mated key fob, a
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 with an invalid key fob.
After placing the ignition to 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 system. In addition, if
the light begins to flash after the bulb check, it
indicates that someone tried to use an invalid
key fob 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 system. Should this occur, have the
vehicle serviced as soon as possible by an
authorized dealer.
