Remote start — if equipped
All of the following conditions must be met before the engine will remote start:
-
Gear selector in PARK
-
Doors closed
-
Hood closed
-
Liftgate closed
-
Hazard switch off
-
Brake switch inactive (brake pedal not pressed)
-
Battery at an acceptable charge level
-
System not disabled from previous Remote Start event
-
Vehicle security alarm not active
-
Ignition in OFF position
-
Malfunction Indicator Light is not illuminated
WARNING:
-
Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon monoxide is poisonous and can cause serious injury or death when inhaled.
-
Keep key fobs away from children. Operation of the Remote Start system, windows, door locks or other controls could cause serious injury or death.
REMOTE START ABORT MESSAGES
The following messages will display in the instrument cluster display if the vehicle fails to remote start or exits Remote Start prematurely:
-
Remote Start Aborted — Door Ajar
-
Remote Start Aborted — Hood Ajar
-
Remote Start Aborted — Fuel Low
-
Remote Start Aborted — L/Gate Ajar
-
Remote Start Disabled — Start Vehicle To Reset
The instrument cluster display message stays active until the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position.
TO ENTER REMOTE START MODE
Push and release the Remote Start button on the key fob twice within five seconds. The vehicle doors will lock, the turn signals will flash twice, and the horn will chirp twice. Then the engine will start, and the vehicle will remain in the Remote Start mode for a 15 minute cycle.
Note:
-
If an engine fault is present or fuel level is low, the vehicle will start and then shut down in 10 seconds.
-
The parking lights will turn on and remain on during Remote Start mode.
-
For security, power window operation is disabled when the vehicle is in the Remote Start mode.
-
The engine can be started two consecutive times (two 15 minute cycles) with the key fob. However, the ignition must be placed in the ON/RUN position before you can repeat the start sequence for a third cycle.
TO EXIT REMOTE START MODE WITHOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE
Push and release the Remote Start button one time or allow the Remote Start cycle to complete the entire 15 minute cycle.
Note:
To avoid unintentional shutdowns, the system will disable for two seconds after receiving a valid Remote Start request.
TO EXIT REMOTE START MODE AND DRIVE THE VEHICLE
Before the end of the 15 minute cycle, push and release the unlock button on the key fob to unlock the doors and disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm (if equipped). Then, insert the key into the ignition and place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.
Note:
-
The ignition must be placed in the ON/RUN position in order to drive the vehicle.
-
The message “Remote Start Active — Key To Run” will display in the instrument cluster display until you place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.

Sentry key
The Sentry Key Immobilizer system prevents unauthorized vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The system does not need to be armed or activated. Operation is automatic, regardless of whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked.
The system uses a key fob, keyless push button ignition and a Radio Frequency (RF) receiver to prevent unauthorized vehicle operation. Therefore, only key fobs that are programmed to the vehicle can be used to start and operate the vehicle. The system cannot reprogram a key fob obtained from another vehicle.
After placing the ignition switch 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 electronics. 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. In the event that 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.
If the Vehicle Security Light turns on during normal vehicle operation (vehicle running for longer than ten seconds), it indicates that there is a fault in the electronics. 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.
KEY PROGRAMMING
Key fob programming is performed at an authorized dealer.
REPLACEMENT KEYS
Note:
Only key fobs that are programmed to the vehicle electronics can be used to start and operate the vehicle. Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be programmed to any other vehicle.
CAUTION:
Always remove the key fobs from the vehicle and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.
Note:
Duplication of key fobs may be performed at an authorized dealer. This procedure consists of programming a blank key fob to the vehicle electronics. A blank key fob is one that has never been programmed.
When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer System serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to an authorized dealer.
