you should re-program all of your transmitters for
security reasons. It is recommended that you have
your dealer program all of your transmitters into yoursystem.
Programming the transmitters
The keyless entry system is equipped with a special
code learning feature that allows you to programnew transmitter codes into the system or to delete
old ones. The system can learn up to four unique transmitter codes. The four transmitter codes may
be the same or different.

operates by operating each transmitter. Deleting old transmitter codes
The control unit of the keyless entry system has four
memory locations to store transmitter codes, givingit the ability to operate with up to four transmitters.
When you lose a transmitter, the lost transmitter ’s
code remains in the memory. For security reasons,
lost transmitter codes should be deleted from the
memory.
To delete old transmitter codes, program four trans-
mitter codes into the system. If you have only one
current transmitter, program it four times. If you have
two current transmitters, program each one twice. If
you have three current transmitters, program two of
them once and the third one twice. This process will
leave only current transmitter codes in the system ’s
memory. NOTE
Make sure no one else is operating their keyless entry system within range of your vehicle whenprogramming transmitters. If someone else wereto operate their remote transmitter while you are programming your transmitters, it is possible that their transmitter code will be programmedinto your system, allowing them unauthorized
access to your vehicle. Security system (if equipped)
The security system helps to protect your vehicle
and valuables from theft. The horn sounds and the
parking lights flash if someone attempts to break
into your vehicle. The starter motor is also inter-
rupted to prevent starting the vehicle without a key.

remote transmitter.The system does not operate when the key is in-
serted into the ignition switch.
System operation
The security system will give the following alarm in-
dications when triggered: The parking lights will flash and the horn will
sound intermittently. In addition, the starter motor willnot operate. The alarm automatically resets after 30 seconds;
however, the alarm will reactivate if the vehicle is
tampered with again. The alarm will continue for sixtimes if any sensor continues to be activated.
The alarm is triggered by: Opening a door, the rear gate or trunk lid.
Application of physical shock to the vehicle (e.g.

two alarm levels for shock: warning and alarm. In
warning mode, the alarm detects lower level vibra-
tions and triggers 2 warning chirps on the horn and
