INTRODUCTION

Thank you for selecting one of our models. Be

assured that it represents precision workmanship,

distinctive styling and high quality, traditional with

our vehicles.

Before you start to drive this vehicle, read the

Owner’s Manual and all the Supplements. Be sure

you are familiar with all vehicle controls, particu-

larly those used for braking, steering and trans-

mission shifting. Learn how your vehicle handles

on different road surfaces. Your driving skills will

improve with experience, but as in driving any

vehicle, take it easy as you begin. Always observe

local laws wherever you drive.

NOTE:

After you read the manual, it should be stored

in the vehicle for convenient reference and

remain with the vehicle when sold so that the

new owner will be aware of all safety warnings.

Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result

in loss of control or an accident.

Operating this vehicle at excessive speeds may

result in loss of control, collision with other ve-

hicles or objects, going off the road, or overturn-

ing; any of which may lead to serious injury or

death. Also, failure to use seat belts subjects the

driver and passengers to a greater risk of injury or

death.

To keep your vehicle running at it’s best, have your

vehicle serviced at recommended intervals by an

authorized dealer who has the qualified person-

nel, special tools and equipment to perform all

service.

The manufacturer and its distributors are vitally

interested in your complete satisfaction with this

vehicle. If you encounter a service or warranty

problem which is not resolved to your satisfaction,

discuss the matter with your dealer’s manage-

ment.

Your authorized dealer will be happy to assist you

with any questions about your vehicle.

ROLLOVER WARNING

Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover

rate than other types of vehicles. This vehicle has

a higher ground clearance and a higher center of

gravity than many passenger cars. It is capable of

performing better in a wide variety of off-road

applications. Driven in an unsafe manner, all ve-

hicles can go out of control. Because of the higher

center of gravity and the narrower track, if this

vehicle is out of control it may roll over when some

other vehicles may not.

Do not attempt sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers, or

other unsafe driving actions that can cause loss of

vehicle control. Failure to operate this vehicle

safely may result in an accident, rollover of the

vehicle, and severe or fatal injury. Drive carefully.

Failure to use the driver and passenger seat

belts provided is a major cause of severe or fatal

injury. In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is

significantly more likely to die than a person

wearing a seat belt. Always buckle up.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

NOTE:

The Key-In-Ignition reminder only sounds

when the ignition key is placed in the LOCK or

ACC position.

SENTRY KEY!

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, which have an

embedded electronic chip (transponder), to pre-

vent unauthorized vehicle operation. Therefore,

only keys that are programmed to the vehicle can

be used to start and operate the vehicle. The

system will shut the engine off in two seconds if

someone uses an invalid key to start the engine.

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 ve-

hicle.

During normal operation, after turning on the

ignition switch, the Vehicle Security Alarm Indica-

tor Light will turn on for three seconds for a bulb

check. If the light remains on after the bulb check,

it indicates that there is a problem with the elec-

tronics. In addition, if the light begins to flash after

the bulb check, it indicates that someone used an

invalid key to start the engine. Either of these

conditions will result in the engine being shut off

after two seconds.

If the Vehicle Security Alarm Indicator Light turns

on during normal vehicle operation (vehicle run-

ning for longer than 10 seconds), it indicates that

there is a fault in the electronics. Should this

occur, have the vehicle serviced as soon as

possible.

NOTE:

• The Sentry Key! Immobilizer System is not

compatible with some aftermarket remote

starting systems. Use of these systems may

result in vehicle starting problems and loss

of security protection.

• Additional Sentry Keys!, or any other

transponder-equipped components on the

same key chain will not cause a key-related

(transponder) fault unless the additional

part is physically held against the ignition

key being used when starting the vehicle.

Cell phones, pagers, or other RF electronics

will not cause interference with this system.

All of the keys provided with your new vehicle

have been programmed to the vehicle electron-

ics.

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 pro-

grammed to a vehicle, it can not be pro-

grammed to any other vehicle.

CAUTION!

Always remove Sentry Keys! from the vehicle

and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle

unattended.

At the time of purchase, the original owner is

provided with a four-digit Personal Identification

Number (PIN). Keep the PIN in a secure location.

This number is required for authorized dealer

replacement of keys. Duplication of keys consists

of programming a blank key to the vehicle elec-

tronics. A blank key is one, which has never been

programmed. See your authorized dealer if you

require replacement or additional keys for your

vehicle.

NOTE:

When having the Sentry Key! Immobilizer Sys-

tem serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to

your authorized dealer.

General Information

Operation is subject to the following conditions:

• This device may not cause harmful interfer-

ence.

• This device must accept any interference that

may be received, including interference that

may cause undesired operation.

SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM — IF

EQUIPPED

The Vehicle Security Alarm (VSA) system monitors

the vehicle doors, liftgate, hood, and liftgate

flip-up window for unauthorized entry and ignition

for unauthorized operation.

If something triggers the alarm, the system will

sound the horn intermittently, flash the headlights

and taillights, and flash the VSA Indicator Light in

the cluster.

Rearming of the System:

If something triggers the Security Alarm, the Se-

curity Alarm system will signal with the siren for 30

seconds. If the triggering device is not deacti-

vated the siren will sound again after a five

second delay for another 30 seconds. If the

trigger remains present this cycle will repeat for

up to five minutes.

To Arm the System:

1. Remove the key from the ignition switch and

exit the vehicle.

2. Lock the doors and liftgate by pressing the

power door lock switch or the LOCK button on the

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.

NOTE:

The system will not arm if you lock the doors

with the manual door lock plungers or the

driver’s door lock cylinder.

3. Close all the doors.

The VSA Indicator Light in the instrument cluster

will flash rapidly for about 16 seconds to signal

that the system is arming. During this period,

opening any door or the liftgate will cancel the

arming process. If the system arms successfully,

the VSA Indicator Light will flash at a slower rate to

indicate the alarm is set.

To Disarm the System:

Either press the UNLOCK button on the RKE

transmitter or insert a valid Sentry Key! into the

ignition lock cylinder and turn the key to the ON

position.

NOTE:

• Unlocking the doors with the manual door

lock plungers or the driver’s door lock cyl-

inder will not disarm the system.

• When the system is armed, the interior

power door lock switches will not unlock the

doors.

The VSA is designed to protect your vehicle;

however, you can create conditions where the

system will give you a false alarm. If the previously

described arming sequence has occurred, the

system will arm regardless of whether you are

inside or outside the vehicle. If you remain inside

the vehicle and open a door, the alarm will sound.

If this occurs, disarm the system.

PREMIUM SECURITY SYSTEM — IF

EQUIPPED

The Security Alarm system monitors the doors,

hood latch, liftgate, and ignition switch for unau-

thorized operation.

If something triggers the Security Alarm, the Se-

curity Alarm system will signal with the siren for 30

seconds. If the triggering device is not deacti-

vated the siren will sound again after a five

second delay for another 30 seconds. If the

trigger remains present this cycle will repeat for

up to five minutes.

If the intrusion sensor is enabled, the Security

Alarm will trigger the siren for 30 seconds. When

this portion of the alarm is set, movement inside

the vehicle will trigger the Security Alarm.

14

To set the alarm:

1. Remove the key from the ignition switch and

get out of the vehicle.

2. Lock the door using either the power door lock

switch, or the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) trans-

mitter and close all doors.

3. The indicator light in the instrument cluster will

flash rapidly for 16 seconds. This shows that the

Security Alarm is pre-arming. After 16 seconds

the deadbolt locks will activate and the indicator

light will continue to flash slowly. This shows that

the Security Alarm system is fully armed.

Vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key! Immobi-

lizer 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

Security Alarm, an invalid key will allow the engine

to run for two seconds then stop.

NOTE:

The intrusion sensor (motion detector) actively

monitors your vehicle every time you arm the

Security Alarm system. If you prefer, you can

turn off the intrusion sensor when arming the

Security Alarm.

To disable the intrusion sensor, activate the LOCK

request three times using the RKE transmitter

during the pre-arming period (lamp flashing

quickly). The intrusion sensor will automatically be

enabled the next time the Security Alarm is set.

To disarm the system:

1. Press UNLOCK on the RKE transmitter.

2. Starting the vehicle with a valid Sentry Key! will

disarm the Security Alarm. A valid key is one that

is programmed to that particular vehicle. A valid

key will disarm the Security Alarm, an invalid key

will allow the engine to run for two seconds then

stop.

NOTE:

• Battery disconnects will not disarm the Se-

curity Alarm system.

• Using the key in the door lock cylinder will

only unlock the deadbolt locks.

• Once the Security Alarm is set and the

deadbolt locks are activated, the only way to

open the doors is with the unlock button on

the RKE transmitter, using the Sentry Key!

in the ignition switch, or using the key in the

door lock cylinder. The deadbolt feature de-

activates the door lock plungers and door

handles.

If the Security Alarm has been triggered the

indicator light will flash twice every two seconds.

Security System Manual Override

The Security Alarm will not arm if you lock the

doors using the manual door lock plunger.

ILLUMINATED ENTRY SYSTEM

The interior lights will turn on when you use the

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter or open a

door.

This feature also turns on the approach lighting (if

so equipped). For details, refer to “Illumination

Approach,” under “Personal Settings (Customer

Programmable Features)” under “Electronic Ve-

hicle Information Center (EVIC)” in Section 4.

The interior lights will fade to off after about 30

seconds or they will immediately fade to off once

the ignition switch is turned ON.

NOTE:

• The Illuminated Entry system will not oper-

ate the interior lights if the dimmer control is

in the extreme downward position.

15

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY (RKE)

This system allows you to lock or unlock the doors

and liftgate or open the liftgate flip-up window

from distances up to 23 ft (7 m) using a hand-held

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. The RKE

transmitter does not need to be pointed at the

vehicle to activate the system. However, the line of

transmission must not be blocked with metal

objects when using the RKE transmitter.

NOTE:

Inserting the key into the ignition switch dis-

ables all buttons on the RKE transmitter.

To Unlock the Doors and Liftgate:

Press and release the UNLOCK button on the RKE
