CAUTION!

The Sentry Key Immobilizer system is not compatible
with some aftermarket remote starting systems. Use of
these systems may result in vehicle starting problems
and loss of security protection.

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 Sentry Keys from the vehicle and
lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.

Duplication of key fobs may be performed at an authorized

dealer or by following the customer key programming

procedure. This procedure consists of programming a

blank key fob to the vehicle electronics. A blank key fob is

one that has never been programmed.

NOTE:

When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer System

serviced, bring all vehicle key fobs with you to an autho-

rized dealer.

Customer Key Programming

If you have two valid key fobs, you can program new key

fobs to the Sentry Key Immobilizer system by performing

the following procedure:
1. Cut the additional key(s) to match the ignition and lock

cylinder key code.

2. Insert the first valid key into the ignition. Place the

ignition in the ON/RUN position for at least three

seconds, but no longer than 15 seconds. Then, place the

ignition in the LOCK position and remove the first key.

3. Insert the second valid key into the ignition. Place the

ignition in the ON/RUN position within 15 seconds.

After 10 seconds, a chime will sound. In addition, the

Vehicle Security Light will begin to flash. Place the

ignition in the LOCK position and remove the second

key.

4. Insert a blank key into the ignition. Place the ignition in

the ON/RUN position within 60 seconds. After 10

seconds, a single chime will sound. In addition, the

Vehicle Security Light will stop flashing. To indicate that
