Replacement Keys
NOTE:
Only keys that have been programmed to the
vehicle electronics can be used to start the
vehicle. Once a Sentry Key has been pro-
grammed to a vehicle, it can not be pro-
grammed to any other vehicle.
At the time of purchase, the original owner is
provided with a four digit PIN number. This num-
ber is required for dealer replacement of keys.
Duplication of keys must be performed at an
authorized dealer. This procedure consists of pro-
gramming a blank key to the vehicle electronics. A
blank key is one which has never been pro-
grammed.
NOTE:
When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer Sys-
tem serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to
the dealer.
IGNITION KEY SWITCH LIGHT— IF
EQUIPPED
A halo ring around the ignition switch lights up
when the driver’s door is opened. The light will
remain on for about 30 seconds after the door is
closed or until the ignition key is turned to the ON
position.
STEERING WHEEL LOCK
Your vehicle is equipped with a passive steering
wheel lock. This lock prevents steering the vehicle
without the ignition key. If the steering wheel is
moved more than 1/2 turn in either direction and
the key is not in the ignition, the steering wheel will
lock.
If You Wish To Manually Lock The
Steering Wheel:
With the engine running, turn the steering wheel a
half turn, turn off the engine and remove the key.
Turn the steering wheel slightly in either direction
until the lock engages.
To Release Steering Wheel Lock:
Insert the key in the ignition and turn the wheel
slightly to the right or left to disengage the lock.
NOTE:
If you turned the wheel to the right to engage
the lock, you must turn the wheel slightly to the
right to disengage it. If you turned the wheel to
the left to engage the lock, turn the wheel
slightly to the left to disengage.
ILLUMINATED ENTRY SYSTEM — IF
EQUIPPED
The courtesy lights will turn on when you use the
keyless entry transmitter or open the doors. This
feature is only available if you have Remote Key-
less Entry.
The lights will fade to off after about 30 seconds or
they will immediately fade to off once the ignition
switch is turned on.
NOTE:
• The front courtesy overhead console lights
do not turn on if the dimmer control is in the
interior lights ON position (extreme top po-
sition).
• The illuminated entry system will not oper-
ate if the dimmer control is in the “defeat”
position (extreme downward position).
