20 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLEProgramming Additional Key FobsIGNITION SWITCHProgramming the key fob may be performed by an authorized dealer.Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) — If EquippedNOTE: Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, itcannot be repurposed and reprogrammed to another vehicle.General InformationThe following regulatory statement applies to all radiofrequency (RF) devices equipped in this vehicle:This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules andwith Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s).Operation is subject to the following two conditions:1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.NOTE: Changes or modifications not expressly approvedby the party responsible for compliance could void theuser’s authority to operate the equipment.The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) operates similar to anignition switch. It has four operating positions, three withdetents and one that is spring-loaded. The detent positionsare OFF, ACC, and ON/RUN. The START position is aspring-loaded momentary contact position. When releasedfrom the START position, the switch automatically returnsto the ON/RUN position.

This device may not cause harmful interference, and2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.NOTE: Changes or modifications not expressly approvedby the party responsible for compliance could void theuser’s authority to operate the equipment.SENTRY KEYThe Sentry Key Immobilizer system prevents unauthorizedvehicle operation by disabling the engine. The system doesnot 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 aRF receiver to prevent unauthorized vehicle operation. Therefore, only key fobs that are programmed to the vehicle can beused to start and operate the vehicle. The system cannotreprogram a key fob obtained from another vehicle.After turning the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position,the vehicle security light will turn on for three seconds fora bulb check. If the light remains on after the bulb check, itindicates that there is a problem with the electronics. Inaddition, if the light begins to flash after the bulb check, itindicates that someone attempted to start the engine withan invalid key fob. In the event that a valid key fob is usedto start the engine but there is an issue with the vehicleelectronics, the engine will start and shut off after twoseconds.3
