Customer Key Programming
If you have two valid Sentry Keys®, you can program

new Sentry Keys® to the system by performing the

following procedure:
1. Cut the additional Sentry Key® Transponder blank(s)

to match the ignition switch lock cylinder key code.

2. Insert the first valid key into the ignition switch. Turn

the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position for at

least three seconds, but no longer than 15 seconds.

Then, turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position

and remove the first key.

3. Insert the second valid key into the ignition switch.

Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position

within 15 seconds. After 10 seconds, a chime will

sound. In addition, the Vehicle Security Light will

begin to flash. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK

position and remove the second key.

4. Insert a blank Sentry Key® into the ignition switch.

Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position

within 60 seconds. After 10 seconds, a single chime

will sound. In addition, the Vehicle Security Light will

stop flashing. To indicate that programming is com-

plete, the Vehicle Security Light will turn on again for

three seconds and then turn off.

The new Sentry Key® is programmed. The Remote

Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter will also be pro-
grammed during this procedure.
Repeat this procedure to program up to eight keys. If you

do not have a programmed Sentry Key®, contact your

authorized dealer for details.
