INTEGRATED KEY FOB TRANSMITTER DESCRIPTION
The transmitter can have three or four buttons for operation.

INTEGRATED KEY FOB TRANSMITTER OPERATION
The UNLOCK button will unlock the driver door, flash the Park lamps twice and enable illuminated entry. Pushing and releasing the button once will unlock the driver door. Pushing and releasing the button two times within a five second period will unlock all doors (double unlock activation enabled).
Upon pressing the LOCK button, the horn will sound a short chirp (if enabled) and flash the park lamps to notify that the all door lock signal was received and acted upon. Illuminated entry is cancelled and the interior lamps are faded to off.
Pushing the PANIC button will cause the panic alarm to sound for three minutes, until the panic button is pressed a second time, or until the vehicle reaches a speed of 15 m/ph (24 k/ph).

(HORN CHIRP TOGGLE)
The toggling of the horn chirp (between enabled and disabled) can be performed with the use of the scan tool or by the customer.

SCAN TOOL PROGRAMMING
When using the scan tool, select:
1. "TIPM"
2. "Miscellaneous Functions" and then the desired function.

CUSTOMER PROGRAMMING
Using a transmitter programmed to the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module, the status of the horn chirp may be toggled by the customer.

NOTE: The SKREEM is responsible for keeping track of the horn chirp status; thus this procedure does not need to be repeated for each transmitter programmed to the system.

1. With the ignition switch in RUN position, press and hold the transmitter UNLOCK button for a minimum of 4 seconds to a maximum of 10 seconds.
2. While holding the UNLOCK button for 4-10 seconds, press the LOCK button. A chime will be heard to indicate a successful toggle, at which time both buttons may be released.

INTEGRATED KEY FOB TRANSMITTER SPECIFICATIONS (TRANSMITTER PROGRAMMING)
New Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters can be programed using the scan tool and the appropriate Diagnostic Procedures article , if no functioning transmitter is available. The scan tool can provide confirmation that the Controlled Area Network (CAN) is functional, and that all of the electronic modules are sending and receiving the proper messages on the CAN data bus.

If you have two valid Sentry Keys®, you can program new Sentry Keys® to the system by performing the following procedure:
1. Cut the additional Sentry Key® Transponder blank(s) to match the ignition switch lock cylinder key code.
2. Insert the first valid key into the ignition switch. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position for at least three seconds, but no longer than 15 seconds. Then, turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position and remove the first key.
3. Insert the second valid key into the ignition switch. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position within 15 seconds. After 10 seconds, a chime will sound. In addition, the Vehicle Security Light will begin to flash. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position and remove the second key.
4. Insert a blank Sentry Key® into the ignition switch. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position within 60 seconds. After 10 seconds, a single chime will sound. In addition, the Vehicle Security Light will stop flashing. To indicate that programming is complete, the Vehicle Security Light will turn on again for three seconds and then turn off.

NOTE: The new Sentry Key® is programmed. The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter will also be programmed during this procedure. Repeat this procedure to program up to eight keys.

(BATTERY REPLACEMENT)
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter case snaps open and shut for battery access. To replace the RKE transmitter batteries:

1. Using a thin coin, gently pry at the notch in the center seam of the RKE transmitter case halves near the key ring until the two halves unsnap.
2. Lift the back half of the transmitter case off of the RKE transmitter.
3. Remove the two batteries from the RKE transmitter.
4. Replace the two batteries with new Panasonic 2016, or equivalent. Be certain that the batteries are installed with their polarity correctly oriented.
5. Align the two RKE transmitter case halves with each other, and squeeze them firmly and evenly together until they snap back into place.

INTEGRATED KEY FOB TRANSMITTER SPECIFICATIONS
(BATTERY)
The transmitter has two 3 volt batteries, which can be removed and replaced without special tools. Insert a dime in the side slot of the transmitter case and twist. The halves should separate and the batteries
are stacked on top of each other. The batteries are available at local retail stores. Recommended batteries are Panasonic CR 2016 or equivalent. Typical battery life is about two years.

CAUTION: Do not handle the batteries any more than necessary. Hands must be clean and dry.

INTEGRATED KEY FOB TRANSMITTER SPECIFICATIONS
(RANGE)
Normal Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter operation range for vehicles manufactured for domestic markets is up to 20 meters (66 feet) away from the vehicle. On vehicles manufactured for export markets, normal RKE transmitter range is up to 10 meters (33 feet) away from the vehicle. If a domestic market vehicle is equipped with the optional factory-installed Remote Start System, the normal transmitter range is increased to up to 91 meters (300 feet). Please note that the actual RKE transmitter range values may be better or worse than specified above, depending upon many possible variables in the environment at the specific time and location that any RKE transmission is attempted.
