General Information
The Sentry Key system complies with FCC rules part 15
and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is
subject to the following conditions:
This device may not cause harmful interference.
This device must accept any interference that may be
received, including interference that may cause undes-
ired operation.
SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM IF EQUIPPED
This system monitors the vehicle doors, liftgate, and
ignition for unauthorized operation. When the alarm is
activated, the system provides both audible and visual
signals. The horn will sound repeatedly for three minutes
and the headlights and taillights will flash for an addi-
tional 15 minutes.
NOTE: The “Panic” and “Security” alarms are quite
different. Please take a moment to activate the “Panic”
and the “Security” modes to hear the differences in the
horn. In case one should go off in the future, you will
need to know which mode has been activated in order to
deactivate it.
To Set the Alarm
The alarm will set when you use the remote keyless entry
transmitter to lock the doors and liftgate or when you use
the power door lock switch while the door is open. After
all the doors are locked and closed, the “Vehicle Security
Alarm Indicator Light” (located in the instrument cluster)
will flash rapidly for about 16 seconds to signal that the
system is arming. During this 16 second pre-arm period,
opening any door or the liftgate will cancel the arming. If
the system successfully arms, the “Vehicle Security
Alarm Indicator Light” will flash at a slower rate to
indicate the alarm is set. A manual lock of the doors,
either with the door lock plunger located on the inside of
the doors or with the driver’s door key lock cylinder, will
not set the alarm.
