is automatic, regardless of whether the vehicle is locked
or unlocked.
The system uses the factory-mated Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter with integrated key and Wireless Igni-
tion Node (WIN) to prevent unauthorized vehicle opera-
tion. Therefore, only RKE transmitters that are pro-
grammed to the vehicle can be used to start and operate
the vehicle. The system will not allow the engine to crank
if an invalid RKE transmitter is used to operate the
ignition switch.
After turning the ignition switch to the ON 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. This
condition 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 sec-
onds), it indicates that there is a fault in the electronics.
Should this occur, have the vehicle serviced as soon as
possible.
NOTE:
•
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System is not compat-
ible with aftermarket remote starting systems. Use of
these systems may result in vehicle starting problems
and loss of security protection.
•
Exxon/Mobil Speedpass™, additional RKE transmit-
ters, or any other transponder-equipped components
on the same key chain will not cause a fault unless the
additional part is physically held against the trans-
mitter being used to start the vehicle. Cell phones,
pagers, or other RF electronics will not cause interfer-
ence with this system.
