Vehicle Security Light will flash for 30 seconds. Check the
vehicle for tampering.
The Vehicle Security Alarm will also disarm if the vehicle
is started with a programmed Sentry Key
௡. If an unpro-
grammed Sentry Key ௡ is used to start a vehicle, the
engine will run for two seconds and then the alarm will
be initiated. To exit the alarming mode, press the RKE
transmitter UNLOCK button, or start the vehicle with a
programmed Sentry Key
௡.
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your
vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the
system will arm unexpectedly. If you remain in the
vehicle and lock the doors with the RKE transmitter, the
alarm will sound when you pull the door handle to exit.
The door will be locked, but the Vehicle Security Alarm
will not arm.

or they will immediately fade to off once the ignition
switch is turned ON.

tesy lights do not turn off if the dimmer control is in
the interior lights ON position (extreme right posi-
tion).
• The illuminated entry system will not operate if the
dimmer control is in the extreme left position.
