THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 15 WARNING! The key cannot be turned to LOCK until the shift lever is in the PARK position. Do not attempt to pull the shift lever out of PARK after the key is in the LOCK position. NOTE: The steering wheel will lock when the key is removed, and when the steering wheel is turned around 115 degrees clockwise or 65 degrees counterclockwise from the center position. Ignition Accessory Delay Feature The power window switches, radio, hands-free system (if equipped), and power outlets will remain active for 10 minutes after the ignition switch is turned off. Opening either front door will cancel this feature. For vehicles equipped with the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC), the time for this feature is programmable. For details, refer to "Personal Settings (Customer-Programmable Features)"/"KEY OFF POWER DELAY > OFF" under "Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)" in Section 3 of this manual. SENTRY KEYா 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 ignition keys that have an embedded electronic chip (transponder) to prevent unauthorized vehicle operation. Therefore, only keys that are programmed to the vehicle can be used to start and operate 2
