A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS

The double sided keys may be inserted into the locks

with either side up. The keys for your new vehicle are

enclosed in a plastic bag with a bar code label affixed to

the front. The bar code can be used to order duplicate

keys from your dealer or a locksmith. If you received

your keys without the bag, ask your dealer to give you

the number.

NOTE: Integrated keys (key and key fob combined)

must be cut by the dealer. The dealer must have cutters

that have enough clearance for integrated keys.

Key-In-Ignition Reminder

If you open the driver’s door when the key is in the

ignition lock, a continuous chime will sound to remind

you to remove the key.

CAUTION!

An unlocked vehicle is an invitation to thieves.

Always remove the key from the ignition and lock

all the doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.

SENTRY KEY — IF EQUIPPED

With this system, an electronically coded ignition key

sends a signal to the vehicle electronics. If the electronics

recognizes the signal, the vehicle will start and continue

to run. If the system does not recognize the signal, the

vehicle will start and run for 2 seconds, then shut off.

After six unsuccessful attempts at starting, the system

will shut down until the correct key is used.

NOTE: If the key is in the ignition switch, then all

buttons on that transmitter will be disabled. The buttons
