SENTRY KEY
ா
The Sentry Key
௡ Immobilizer System prevents unautho-
rized 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 the factory-mated Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter with integrated key and Wireless Ignition
Node (WIN) to prevent unauthorized vehicle operation.
Therefore, only RKE transmitters that are programmed to
the vehicle can be used to start and operate the vehicle. The
system will not allow the engine to crank if an invalid RKE
transmitter is used to operate the ignition switch.
After turning the ignition switch to the ON position, 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 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 electronics. Should this
occur, have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible.
NOTE:
• The Sentry Key௡ Immobilizer System is not compat-
ible with aftermarket remote starting systems. Use of
these systems may result in vehicle starting problems
and loss of security protection.
• Exxon/Mobil Speedpass™, additional RKE transmit-
ters, or any other transponder-equipped components
on the same key chain will not cause a fault unless the
additional part is physically held against the trans-
mitter
being used to start the vehicle. Cell phones,
pagers, or other RF electronics will not cause interfer-
ence with this system.
All of the RKE transmitters provided with your new
vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle electronics.
