A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS

Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system. This system
consists of a key fob with Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Key
Fob and a Keyless Push Button Ignition.

Keyless Enter-N-Go Feature

This vehicle is equipped with the Keyless Enter-N-Go
ignition feature.

Keyless Push Button Ignition

This feature allows the driver to operate the ignition with
the push of a button, as long as the Remote Keyless Entry
key fob is in the passenger compartment.

The Keyless Push Button Ignition has three operating
positions, which are labeled and will illuminate when in
position. The three positions are OFF, ACC, and ON/RUN.

NOTE:

In case the ignition does not change with the push

of a button, the key fob may have a low or dead battery.

Key Fob

The key fob also contains the Remote Keyless Entry key fob
and an emergency key, which stores in the rear of the key
fob.

The emergency key allows for entry into the vehicle should
the battery in the vehicle or the key fob go dead. You can
keep the emergency key with you when valet parking.

Ignition Or Accessory On Message

Opening the driver’s door when the ignition is in ACC or
ON (engine not running), a chime will sound to remind
you to cycle the ignition to OFF. In addition to the chime,
the ignition or accessory on message will display in the
cluster.

NOTE:

With the Uconnect system, the power window

switches, radio and power outlets will remain active for up
to 10 minutes after the ignition is cycled to the OFF
position. Opening either front door will cancel this feature.
The time for this feature is programmable. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information.

WARNING!

Before exiting a vehicle, always shift the manual

transmission into REVERSE, apply the parking
brake, turn the engine OFF, remove the key fob from
the ignition and lock your vehicle. If equipped with
Keyless Enter-N-Go — Ignition, always make sure
the keyless ignition node is in “OFF” mode, remove
the key fob from the vehicle and lock the vehicle.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with

access to an unlocked vehicle.

Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is

dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others
could be seriously or fatally injured. Children
should be warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the gear selector.

Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in

a location accessible to children, and do not leave the
ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-
N-Go in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.

Do not leave children or animals inside parked

vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat build-up may
cause serious injury or death.

CAUTION!

An unlocked vehicle is an invitation. Always remove
the key fobs from vehicle, place the ignition in the OFF
position and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle
unattended.

General Information

The following regulatory statement applies to all Radio
Frequency (RF) devices equipped in this vehicle:

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and
with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, includ-

ing interference that may cause undesired operation.

NOTE:

Changes or modifications not expressly approved

by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment.

SENTRY KEY

The Sentry Key Immobilizer system prevents unauthorized
vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The system does not
need to be armed or activated. Operation is automatic, regard-
less of whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked.

The system uses a factory-mated key fob, a Keyless Push
Button Ignition and a RF receiver to prevent unauthorized
vehicle operation. Therefore, only key fobs that are pro-
grammed to the vehicle can be used to start and operate the
vehicle. The system will not allow the engine to crank with
an invalid key fob.

After placing the ignition to the ON/RUN 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 system. In
addition, if the light begins to flash after the bulb check, it
indicates that someone tried to use an invalid key fob to
start the engine. Either of these conditions 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 system. Should this
occur, have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible by an
authorized dealer.

CAUTION!

Do not make modifications or alterations to the

immobilizer system. Modifications or alterations to
the immobilization system may result in a loss of
security protection.

The Sentry Key Immobilizer system is not compat-

ible with some aftermarket remote starting systems.
Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting
problems and loss of security protection.

12

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

All of the key fobs provided with your new vehicle have
been programmed to the vehicle electronics.

Replacement Key Fobs

NOTE:

Only key fobs that are programmed to the vehicle

electronics can be used to start and operate the vehicle.
Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be
programmed to any other vehicle.

CAUTION!

Always remove the key fobs from the vehicle and

lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.

For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go —

Ignition, always remember to place the ignition in
the OFF position.

NOTE:

Duplication of key fobs may be performed at an

authorized dealer. This procedure consists of programming
a blank key fob to the vehicle electronics. A blank key fob
is one that has never been programmed.

When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer System serviced,
bring all vehicle keys with you to an authorized dealer.

Customer Key Fob Programming

Programming key fobs may be performed at an authorized
dealer.

VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM

The vehicle security alarm monitors the doors, liftgate, and
hood for unauthorized entry and the ignition for unauthor-
ized operation. If something triggers the alarm, the vehicle
security alarm will prevent the vehicle from starting. It will
also sound the horn and flash the park lights, and taillights.

Rearming Of The System

If something triggers the alarm, and no action is taken to
disarm it, the vehicle security alarm will turn off the horn
after three minutes, turn off all of the visual signals
(flashing lights) after 15 minutes, and then rearm itself.

To Arm The System

Follow these steps to arm the vehicle security alarm:

1. Make sure the vehicle ignition system is in the OFF

position.

2. Perform one of the following methods to lock the

vehicle:

• Push the lock button on the interior power door lock

switch with the driver and/or passenger door open.

• Push the lock button on the key fob.

3. If any doors are open, close them.

Entering The Liftgate With The System Armed

NOTE:

Using the key to open the liftgate while the vehicle

security alarm is armed will trigger the alarm.

Push the liftgate release button on the key fob twice to
allow access without triggering the alarm or having to
disarm the vehicle security alarm. Then, within 30 seconds,
open the liftgate by using the key cylinder or the liftgate
release switch located in the exterior liftgate handle.

To Disarm The System

The vehicle security alarm can be disarmed using any of
the following methods:

• Push the unlock button on the Remote Keyless Entry key

fob.

• Cycle the vehicle ignition system out of the OFF posi-

tion:

• Push the Keyless Enter-N-Go Start/Stop button (re-

quires at least one valid key fob in the vehicle).

14

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE:

• The liftgate key cylinder cannot arm or disarm the

vehicle security alarm.

• When the vehicle security alarm is armed, the interior

Power Door Lock switches will not unlock the doors.

The vehicle security alarm is designed to protect your
vehicle. However, you can create conditions where the

system will give you a false alarm. If one of the previously
described arming sequences has occurred, the vehicle
security alarm will arm regardless of whether you are in
the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle and open a
door, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the
vehicle security alarm.

If the vehicle security alarm is armed and the battery
becomes disconnected, the vehicle security alarm will
remain armed when the battery is reconnected; the exterior
lights will flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs,
disarm the vehicle security alarm.

Tamper Alert

If something has triggered the vehicle security alarm in
your absence, the horn will sound three times, and the
exterior lights will blink three times when you disarm the
vehicle security alarm. Check the vehicle for tampering.

Electronic Immobilization System

The Electronic Immobilization system prevents unauthor-
ized 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.
