During this period, if a door is opened, the ignition switch is turned on, or the power door locks are unlocked in any manner, the system will automatically disarm. If the light comes on but does not flash, the system is arming but there is a problem in the trunk circuit. After 16 seconds the indicator light will flash slowly. This shows that the system is fully armed. Vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key Immobilizer System can be safely started with a valid key. A valid key is one that is programmed to that particular vehicle. A valid key will disarm the system, an invalid key will trigger the alarm. To disarm the system: Unlock a front door using either the key or the Keyless Entry Transmitter. Starting the vehicle with a valid Sentry key will disarm the system.
