12 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE only keys that are programmed to the vehicle can be used to start and operate the vehicle. IGNITION SWITCH WARNING! If the Vehicle Security Light is on after the key is placed in the MAR (ACC/ON/RUN) position, it indicates that there is a problem with the electronics. 1. Place the gear selector in PARK. Before exiting a vehicle, always shift the trans- mission into PARK, apply the parking brake, and remove the key fob from the vehicle. When leaving the vehicle, always lock your vehicle.
In case you switch off the vehicle and the trans- mission is not in PARK, a warning message will appear on the cluster which suggests you to shift the transmission into PARK and, then, you can remove the key within 15 seconds. If 15 seconds expire, you have to rotate the key from the STOP (OFF/LOCK) position to the MAR (ACC/ON/RUN) position and come back to the STOP (OFF/LOCK) position in order to remove the key. 2. Rotate the key to the STOP (OFF/LOCK) position. 3. Remove the key from the ignition switch lock cylinder. 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. CAUTION! All of the keys provided with your new vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle electronics. NOTE: A key which 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 Ъ page 236. Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing chil- dren 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.
