To Release The 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 it.
Automatic Transmission Ignition
Interlock System
This system prevents the key from being re-
moved unless the shift lever is in PARK. It also
prevents shifting out of PARK unless the key is
in the ON/RUN position, and the brake pedal is
depressed.
SENTRY KEY姞
The Sentry Key姞 Immobilizer System prevents
unauthorized 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 ignition keys, which have an
embedded electronic chip (transponder) to
prevent unauthorized vehicle operation. Only
keys that are programmed to the vehicle can
be used to start and operate the vehicle. The
system will shut the engine off in two seconds if
someone uses an invalid key to start the en-
gine.
NOTE:
A key that has not been programmed is also
considered an invalid key, even if it is cut to
fit the ignition switch lock cylinder for that
vehicle.
During normal operation, after turning the igni-
tion switch ON/RUN, 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 elec-
tronics. In addition, if the light begins to flash
after the bulb check, it indicates that someone
used an invalid key 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 electronics. Should this occur,
have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible
by an authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
The Sentry Key姞 Immobilizer system is not
compatible with some after-market remote
starting systems. Use of these systems may
result in vehicle starting problems and loss of
security protection.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle
have been programmed to the vehicle electron-
ics. See your authorized dealer if you require
replacement or additional keys for your vehicle.
Replacement Keys
NOTE:
Only keys that have been programmed to
the vehicle electronics can be used to start
the vehicle. Once a Sentry Key姞 has been
programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be pro-
grammed to any other vehicle.
