Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is  
dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others  
could be seriously or fatally injured. Children  
should be warned not to touch the parking brake,  
brake pedal or the gear selector.

SENTRY KEY  
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System prevents unauthor-  
ized vehicle operation by disabling the vehicle. 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 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.
