even killed.

controls

turned the ignition to
RUN and moved the shift
lever out
of PARK (P), that would release the

of the vehicle’s

The
oval key
doors and all is
for the
other locks. When
a new vehicle is delivered, the dealer removes the
plug
from the door key. The plug has a code on it that
tells the dealer or a qualified locksmith how to make
extra keys. The ignition key has a
bar code tag attached
to it rather than a knock out plug.
Your dealer or
qualified locksmith can make extra ignition keys by
reading the
bar code tag.
Keep the
bar code tag and the door key plugs in a safe
place. If you lose your keys, you will be able to have
new ones made using the plug or
bar code tag.
NOTICE:
Your vehicle has a number of new features that
can help prevent theft. You
can have a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever
lock your keys inside and you
may have to
damage your vehicle
to get in. Be sure you
have extra keys.

purchased through your dealer. Once your dealer has
coded the new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not
unlock your vehicle. Each vehicle can have only two
transmitters matched to it.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about four years.
You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter won’t
work at the normal range in any location. If you have to
get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it’s probably time to change the battery.
I NOTICE:
When replacing the battery, use care not to touch
any
of the circuitry. Static from your body
transferred to these surfaces may damage the transmitter.
1. Use the round end of the door key or a coin to pry
open the transmitter.
2. Once the transmitter is separated, use a pencil to
remove the old battery.
Do not use a metal object.
