from your authorized dealer. Your dealer can program the transmitters to
your vehicle or you may be able to program them yourself. See the
Securitychapter for information on programming your keys.

the ones missing will no longer operate the vehicle.
To reprogram the remote control:

(within six seconds), with the fourth turn ending in off. If the program
mode is successfully entered, a chime will sound.
Note:If no action is taken within 10 seconds after a transmitter has
been programmed, the programming sequence ends.
2. Within 10 seconds, press any button on the transmitter to be
programmed. A chime will sound to confirm that the transmitter is
programmed. Repeat this step for each transmitter.
Note:There is no chime or any other confirmation upon exiting the
programming mode.
3. Exiting the programming mode is accomplished if one of the following
occurs:
•The ignition is turned on.
•Ten seconds have passed since entering the programming mode or
since the last transmitter was programmed.
