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 elec-
tronics. In addition, if the light begins to flash after the
bulb check, it indicates that someone attempted to
start the engine with an invalid key fob. If a valid key fob
is used to start the engine but there is an issue with the
vehicle electronics, the engine will start and shut off
after two seconds.
NOTE:
If the keyless push button ignition fails to start, the key
fob may need to be moved around if it has been idle for
more than 5 minutes.
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 elec-
tronics. Should this occur, have the vehicle serviced as
soon as possible by an authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
The Sentry Key Immobilizer system is not compatible
with some aftermarket Remote Start systems. Use of
these systems may result in vehicle starting problems
and loss of security protection.
All of the key fobs provided with your new vehicle have
been programmed to the vehicle electronics
page 348.
NOTE:
A key fob that has not been programmed is also consid-
ered an invalid key.
IGNITION SWITCH
KEYLESS ENTER ‘N GO™ IGNITION
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.
The START/STOP ignition button has several operating
modes that are labeled and will illuminate when in posi-
tion. These modes are OFF, ON/RUN, and START.
The push button ignition can be placed in the following
modes:
OFF
•
The engine is stopped
•
Some electrical devices (e.g. power locks, alarm,
etc.) are still available
ON/RUN
•
Driving position
•
All electrical devices are available (e.g. climate con-
trols, heated seats, etc.)
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
displays a message such as “Key Fob Not
Detected”, the key fob may have a low or depleted
battery. In this situation, a backup 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.
•
Replacement of the key fob battery is recommended.
