GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 17 The system uses a key fob, keyless push button ignition and a Radio Frequency (RF) receiver to prevent unauthorized vehicle operation. Therefore, only key fobs 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 an incorrect key fob is used to start the engine. All of the key fobs provided with your new vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle electronics Ъ page 327. IGNITION SWITCH The push button ignition can be placed in the following modes: OFF The engine is stopped K EYLESS E NTER N G O GNITION Some electrical devices (e.g.
power locks, alarm, etc.) are still available 2 After placing the ignition in 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 electronics. In addition, if the light begins to flash after the bulb check, it indicates that someone used an invalid key fob to start the engine. Either of these conditions will result in the engine being shut off after two seconds. This feature allows the driver to operate the ignition switch with the push of a button as long as the key fob is in the passenger compartment.
ACC Engine is not started The START/STOP ignition button has several operating modes that are labeled and will illuminate when in position. These modes are OFF, ACC, ON/RUN, and START. Some electrical devices are available (e.g. power windows) ON/RUN Driving position All electrical devices are available (e.g. climate controls, etc.) 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. START The engine will start (when foot is on the brake pedal) NOTE:
If the ignition position does not change with a push of the ignition button, and the instrument cluster display message “Key Fob Not Detected” is being displayed, the key fob may have a low or depleted battery. In this situation, a back up method can be used to operate the ignition switch. Put the nose side of the key fob (side opposite of the emergency key) against the START/STOP ignition button and push to operate the ignition switch. 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. 1 — OFF 2 — ACC 3 — ON/RUN START/STOP Ignition Button
