Matching Transmitter(s) to Your
Vehicle
Each Keyless Access System is coded to allow
only transmitters programmed to your vehicle
to work. If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a
replacement can be purchased and programmed
through your dealer. Your dealer can reprogram
your vehicle so lost or stolen transmitters no longer
work with your vehicle. Each vehicle can have a
maximum of four transmitters matched to it.
To match a new transmitter to your vehicle when
you have a recognized transmitter, do the
following. Two recognized transmitters are required
for Canadian owners.
1. The vehicle must be off.
2. Have the recognized transmitter and the new,
unrecognized transmitter(s) with you.
3. Insert the vehicle key into the key lock
cylinder located on the outside of the
driver’s door.4. Turn the key to the unlock position
ve times within ve seconds.
5. The Driver Information Center (DIC)
will display READY FOR FOB X,
where X can be 2, 3 or 4.
90

6. Place the new, unrecognized transmitter into
the transmitter pocket with the transmitter
buttons facing the front of the vehicle.
The transmitter pocket is inside the center
console storage area located between
the driver and front passenger seats.7. Once the transmitter is programmed,
a beep will sound. The DIC will display
READY FOR X, where X can be 3 or 4,
or MAX # FOBS LEARNED.
8. Remove the transmitter from the transmitter
pocket and press the unlock button on the
keyless access transmitter two times.
The Canadian immobilizer standard requires
Canadian owners to see their dealer for matching
new transmitters when a recognized transmitter
is not available. United States owners are
permitted to match a new transmitter to their
vehicle when a recognized transmitter is
not available.

count down to zero, one minute at a time.
8. The DIC will display OFF/ACC TO LEARN
again.
9. Press the Acc. button (ignition switch) again.
10. The DIC will again read WAIT 10 MINUTES
and will count down to zero, one minute
at a time.
11. The DIC will display OFF/ACC TO
LEARN again.
12. Press the Acc. button (ignition switch) again.
13. The DIC will again read WAIT 10 MINUTES
and will count down to zero, one minute
at a time.14. A beep will sound and the DIC will read
READY FOR FOB 1. At this time, all
previously known transmitters have been

process can be repeated until four transmitters
have been programmed. The DIC will then display
MAX # FOBS LEARNED and will exit the
programming mode.
When you are done programming transmitters,
press the unlock button on each keyless access
transmitter twice. After performing this process,
transmitters previously programmed will no longer
work with your vehicle and must be reprogrammed.

Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your keyless
access transmitter should last about three years.
The battery is weak if the transmitter will not
work at the normal range in any location. If you
have to get close to your vehicle before the
transmitter works, it is probably time to change the
battery. The DIC may display KEY FOB
BATTERY LOW.
A weak battery may also cause the DIC to display
NO FOBS DETECTED when you try to start
the vehicle. If this happens, place the transmitter
in the center console storage area transmitter
pocket with the buttons facing to the front of the
vehicle. Then, with the vehicle in PARK (P)
or NEUTRAL (N), press the brake pedal and the
start button. SeeStarting the Engine on page 113,
for additional information about your vehicle’s
electronic keyless ignition with push button start.
Although this will start the vehicle, it is
recommended that you replace the transmitter
battery as soon as possible.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.
94

Do not use the remote start feature if your vehicle
is low on fuel. Your vehicle may run out of fuel.
The remote start feature provides two separate
starts, each with 10 minutes of engine running. If
you press the lock button and then hold the
remote start button on the keyless access
transmitter again for at least three seconds before
the rst 10 minutes of engine running time has
expired, 10 minutes is added to the remaining
minutes. For example, if the remote start is
initiated again after ve minutes of the engine run
time, 10 minutes is added and you now have
15 minutes with the engine running. Once
two remote starts or 20 minutes of the engine
running have been provided, the vehicle must be
started using the keyless access with pushbutton
start feature, if the engine needs to be restarted.
SeeStarting the Engine on page 113for more
information regarding the keyless ignition.The remote start feature will not operate if any of
the following occur:
The check engine light is displayed. See
“Check Engine Light” underMalfunction
Indicator Lamp on page 252.
The valet lockout switch is on.
The keyless access transmitter is in the
vehicle.
The vehicle’s hood is open.
The vehicle personalization feature is not
enabled.
An unauthorized vehicle entry or a vehicle
theft was attempted.
Your keyless access transmitter, with the remote
start button, provides an increased range of
operation. However, the range may be less while
the vehicle is running. As a result, you may
need to be closer to your vehicle to turn it off than
you were to turn it on.
There are other conditions which can affect the
performance of the transmitter, seeKeyless
Access System on page 87.
