THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

Automatic Transaxle Ignition Interlock System
This system prevents the key from being rem oved unless
the shift lever is in PARK. It also prevents shifting out of
PARK unless the key is in the ACC, or ON positions, and
the brake pedal is depressed .
NOTE: A key, which has not been program med, is also
consid ered an invalid key even if it is cut to fit the
ignition lock cylind er for that vehicle.

During norm al operation, after turning on the ignition
switch, the Vehicle Security Alarm Ind icator Light will
turn on for three (3) second s for a bulb check. If the light
rem ains on after the bulb check, it ind icates that there is
a problem with the electronics. In addition, if the light
begins to flash after the bulb check, it ind icates that
som eone used an invalid key to start the engine. Either of
these cond itions will resu lt in the engine being shu t off
after two (2) second s.
SENTRY KEY — IF EQUIPPED
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System prevents unau tho-
rized vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The
system does not need to be arm ed or activated . Operation
is autom atic, regard less of whether the vehicle is locked
or unlocked .
The system uses ignition keys, which have an embed ded
electronic chip (transp ond er), to prevent unau thorized
vehicle operation. Therefore, only keys that are pro-
gram med to the vehicle can be used to start and operate
the vehicle. The system will shu t the engine off in two (2)
second s if som eone uses an invalid key to start the
engine.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm Ind icator Light turns on
during norm al vehicle operation (vehicle running for
longer than 10 second s), it ind icates that there is a fault in
the electronics. Shou ld this occur, have the vehicle ser-
viced as soon as possible.
