SENTRY KEY®

The Sentry Key® Immobilizer System prevents unau-

thorized 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 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. In addition, if the light begins to

flash after the bulb check, it indicates that someone used

an invalid Key Fob to start the engine. 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

seconds), it indicates that there is a fault in the electron-

ics. Should this occur, have the vehicle serviced as soon

as possible by an authorized dealer.

CAUTION!

The Sentry Key® Immobilizer system is not compat-
ible with some aftermarket remote starting systems.
