does not need to be armed or activated. Operation is

automatic, regardless of whether the vehicle is locked or

unlocked.

The system uses ignition keys which have an embedded

electronic chip (transponder) to prevent unauthorized ve-

hicle operation. Therefore, only keys that are programmed

to the vehicle can be used to start and operate the vehicle.

• Do not leave children or animals inside parked

vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat build-up may

cause serious injury or death.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 21

NOTE: A key which has not been programmed is also

considered an invalid key, even if it is cut to fit the ignition

switch lock cylinder for that vehicle.

Replacement Keys

NOTE: Only keys that have been programmed to the

vehicle electronics can be used to start the vehicle. Once a

Sentry Key has been programmed to a vehicle, it cannot

be programmed to any other vehicle. When having the

Sentry Key Immobilizer System serviced, bring all ve-

hicle keys with you to an authorized dealer.

If the vehicle security light is on after the key is turned to

the MAR (ACC/ON/RUN) position, it indicates that there

is a problem with the electronics.

22 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM

the vehicle security alarm will automatically disarm.

After approximately three seconds, the vehicle security

light will flash. This shows that the vehicle security

alarm is fully armed.

The vehicle security alarm monitors the vehicle doors for

unauthorized entry and the ignition switch for unauthor-

ized operation. While the vehicle security alarm is armed,

interior switches for door locks and liftgate release are

disabled. If something triggers the alarm, the vehicle

security alarm will provide the following audible and

visible signals: the horn will pulse, the park lamps and/or

turn signals will flash, and the vehicle security light on the

instrument panel will flash.

The activation of the vehicle security alarm is followed by

a self-diagnosis stage. If a fault is detected during the

self-diagnosis stage, the horn will sound a second time.

If the horn sounds a second time, check that all doors, hood

and liftgate are closed correctly, then rearm the system.

If the vehicle security alarm sounds the horn a second time

even when all doors, hood and liftgate are correctly closed,

a fault has occurred in the operation of the system. Contact

an authorized dealer.

To Arm The System

1. Remove the key from the ignition switch and get out of

the vehicle.

To Disarm The System

2. Lock the door using either the Central Lock/Unlock

switch or the Remote Keyless Entry key fob and close all

doors.

Push unlock on the key fob, or insert the key into the

ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to the ON/

RUN position.

3. The horn will sound and the vehicle security light in the

instrument cluster will switch on for approximately

three seconds. This shows that the vehicle security

alarm is about to arm. During this period, if a door is

opened, the ignition switch is turned to ON/RUN, or

the power door locks are unlocked in any manner,

NOTE: The vehicle security alarm will not disarm when

the metal insert of the key is used on a single door lock

cylinder.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 23

The vehicle security alarm is designed to protect your

vehicle; however, you can create conditions where the

vehicle security alarm will arm unexpectedly. If you remain

in the vehicle and lock the doors with the key fob, once the

vehicle security alarm is armed, when you pull the door

handle to exit, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, push the

unlock button on the key fob to disarm the vehicle security

alarm.

WARNING!

• Adjusting a seat while driving may be dangerous.

Moving a seat while driving could result in loss of

control which could cause a collision and serious

injury or death.

•

Seats should be adjusted before fastening the seat

belts and while the vehicle is parked. Serious injury or

death could result from a poorly adjusted seat belt.

Recline Adjustment

EZ Entry Feature

The recline adjustment lever is located on the inboard side

of the seat. To recline the seatback, lift up the recline lever,

lean back until the desired position has been reached, and

release the lever.

The driver and front passenger seats have an EZ entry

feature for rear seat passengers.

1. Pull forward on the release lever located on the out-

board side of the seatback.

2. Dump the seatback forward.

3. Slide the seat forward to allow access in and out of the

rear seat.

Recline Lever

WARNING!

shoulder belt is no longer resting against your chest.

In a collision you could slide under the seat belt, which

could result in serious injury or death.

EZ Entry Lever

Lift the seatback upright and push the seat rearward to its

locked position once the rear passengers are seated.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 29

Memory Seat Feature

Heated Seats — If Equipped

Both front seats have a memory feature, which can operate

in two ways:

On some models, the front driver and passenger seats may

be equipped with heaters in both the seat cushions and

seatbacks. The controls for the front heated seats are

located on the center instrument panel area.

• Memory Function Option 1 (Full Seat Back And Track

Fore/Aft Position Memory) — After using the EZ entry

function, the seatback angle and the track fore/aft

adjuster can both re-lock into the position they were

most recently adjusted to. This is accomplished if the

seat is moved fully rearward to its last fore/aft position

on the tracks before the seat back is returned upright.

3

Push the switch once to turn on the heated seats.

Push the switch a second time to shut the heating

elements off.

NOTE: Once a heat setting is selected, heat will be felt

within two to five minutes.

• Memory Function Option 2 (Seat Back Only Memory) —

After using the EZ entry function, the seat back may first

be returned upright prior to going back to the last

fore/aft (memory) position on the tracks. This results in

the seat back memory being set only – The track will

then be locked forward of its last set fore/aft memory

position. To then reset the fore/aft track memory feature

(to reestablish Memory Function Option 1), the seat has

to be returned fully rearward to its last fore/aft memory

track position as described in Memory Function Op-

tion 1.

WARNING!

• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin

because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes,

spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus-

tion or other physical condition must exercise care

when using the seat heater. It may cause burns even

at low temperatures, especially if used for long

periods of time.

(Continued)

30 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING! (Continued)

• Do not place anything on the seat or seatback that

insulates against heat, such as a blanket or cushion.

This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in

a seat that has been overheated could cause serious

burns due to the increased surface temperature of the

seat.

Manual Folding Rear Seat

The rear seatbacks have a fold down feature to allow

increased cargo capacity.

Rear Seat Release Buttons

Push down the release button, located at the outboard top

of the seatback and move the seatback to its folded-down

position to provide a flat load floor cargo area. When

returning the seatback to its upright position, push rear-

ward until the seatback is properly latched.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 31

HEAD RESTRAINTS

Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of injury by

restricting head movement in the event of a rear impact.

Head restraints should be adjusted so that the top of the

head restraint is located above the top of your ear.

3

WARNING!

• All occupants, including the driver, should not oper-

ate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat until the head

restraints are placed in their proper positions in

of a crash.

Folded Rear Seats

•

Head restraints should never be adjusted while the

vehicle is in motion. Driving a vehicle with the head

restraints improperly adjusted or removed could cause

serious injury or death in the event of a collision.

WARNING!

Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of the

seatback. This could impair visibility or become a

dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or collision.

Reactive Head Restraints — Front Seats

The driver and front passenger seats are equipped with

Reactive Head Restraints. In the event of a rear impact, the

Reactive Head Restraints will automatically extend for-

ward minimizing the gap between the back of the occu-

pant’s head and the Reactive Head Restraint.

32 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the head

restraint. To lower the head restraint, push the adjustment

button, located at the base of the head restraint, and push

downward on the head restraint.

or hard stop could cause serious injury or death to

occupants of the vehicle. Always securely stow re-

moved head restraints in a location outside the

occupant compartment.

• ALL the head restraints MUST be reinstalled in the

vehicle to properly protect the occupants. Follow the

re-installation instructions above prior to operating

the vehicle or occupying a seat.

• Do not place items over the top of the Reactive Head

Restraint, such as coats, seat covers or portable DVD

players. These items may interfere with the opera-

tion of the Reactive Head Restraint in the event of a

collision and could result in serious injury or death.

Winter Operation

Window Fogging

To ensure the best possible heater and defroster perfor-

mance, make sure the engine cooling system is functioning

properly and the proper amount, type, and concentration

of coolant is used. Use of the Air Recirculation mode

during Winter months is not recommended, because it may

cause window fogging.

Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside in mild, rainy

and/or humid weather. To clear the windows, select

Defrost or Mix mode and increase the front blower speed.

Do not use the Recirculation mode without A/C for long

periods, as fogging may occur.

CAUTION!

Vacation/Storage

Failure to follow these cautions can cause damage to

the heating elements:

Before you store your vehicle, or keep it out of service (i.e.,

vacation) for two weeks or more, run the air conditioning

system at idle for about five minutes, in fresh air with the

blower setting on high. This will ensure adequate system

lubrication to minimize the possibility of compressor dam-

age when the system is started again.

• Use care when washing the inside of the rear win-

dow. Do not use abrasive window cleaners on the

interior surface of the window. Use a soft cloth and a

mild washing solution, wiping parallel to the heat-

ing elements. Labels can be peeled off after soaking

with warm water.

•

Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or abrasive

window cleaners on the interior surface of the window.

• Keep all objects a safe distance from the window.

Power Convertible Top Relearn Procedure

If your power convertible top does not operate in the Auto

Opening/Closing mode (automatically opening/closing to

the one-quarter open and three-quarter open comfort

stops), or if the remote keyless power top function is

inoperable, or if the trunk lid does not open - the following

relearn procedure may be necessary.

This will confirm that the relearn procedure was success-

ful.

Auto open/close will now be functional, as well as trunk

lid operation, and remote keyless power top function.

NOTE: DO NOT interrupt this activity.

1. Confirm that the door/trunk lid are closed.

If the power convertible top does not relearn, repeat the

procedure a second time.

2. Begin with the top in the fully closed position (using

manual mode).

Wind Stop

position.

The Wind Stop installs in the backseat area of the vehicle.

The Wind Stop will not interfere with power top operation.

Therefore, it can remain installed when the top is up.

Electrical Power Outlets

Power is available when the ignition switch is in the ON/

RUN or START position. Insert the cigar lighter or accessory

plug into the outlet for use. To preserve the heating element,

do not hold the lighter in the heating position.

There is a standard 12 Volt (13 Amp) power outlet, located

in the floor console, for added convenience. This power

outlet can power mobile phones, electronics and other low

power devices.

CAUTION!

• Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts

(13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the 160 Watts (13 Amps)

power rating is exceeded, the fuse protecting the

system will need to be replaced.

•

Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only.

Do not insert any other object in the power outlets as

this will damage the outlet and blow the fuse. Im-

proper use of the power outlet can cause damage not

covered by your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Your vehicle is also equipped with a charge-only USB

power outlet that can be used to power cellular phones,

small electronics, and other low powered electrical acces-

sories. This USB charging outlet is located inside the glove

compartment.

WARNING!

To avoid serious injury or death:

• Only devices designed for use in this type of outlet

should be inserted into any 12 Volt outlet.

• Do not touch with wet hands.

• Close the lid when not in use and while driving the

vehicle.

(Continued)

72 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING! (Continued)

• If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric

shock and failure.

CAUTION!

• Many accessories that can be plugged in draw power

from the vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e.,

cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long

enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge suffi-

ciently to degrade battery life and/or prevent the

engine from starting.

• Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,

vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade the battery

even more quickly. Only use these intermittently and

with great caution.

• After the use of high power draw accessories, or long

periods of the vehicle not being started (with acces-

sories still plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a

sufficient length of time to allow the generator to

recharge the vehicle’s battery.
