then turn off.

The new Sentry Key

௡ is programmed. The Remote

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.

NOTE:

If a programmed key is lost, see your authorized

dealer to have all remaining keys erased from the sys-

starting your vehicle. The remaining keys must then be
reprogrammed. All vehicle keys must be taken to an
authorized dealer at the time of service to be
reprogrammed.
