Using the Keyless Entry System
*
[FV05300(ALL)02/95]
To operate the Keyless Entry System, you must be familiar with
the ªpersonal codeº and the ªpermanent code.º The personal
code is a code number that you select that is easy for you to
remember. This is the number that you enter on the keypad to
unlock the door. The personal code can be changed as often as
you like.
[FV05400(ALL)01/93]
The permanent code is a number that is assigned to your
vehicle. It does not unlock the door but is used to program
your personal code into the system. Once you have
programmed your personal code you will not need the
permanent code again until you wish to change your personal
code.
[FV05500(ALL)01/93]
The permanent code is taped to the computer module behind
the center console of your vehicle. It is also taped to your
Keyless Entry System Owner's Card. For your convenience,
three additional pieces of tape with the permanent code have
been included in the glove box. Place these additional pieces of
tape in safe locations where you can refer to them when
necessary. Do not put them in any location that is accessible to
unauthorized persons, since this would allow them entrance to
your vehicle.
[FV05600(ALL)01/93]
Valid and Invalid Codes
[FV05700(ALL)01/93]
To help protect your vehicle from theft, certain codes that are
easily figured out cannot be registered for your personal code.
Some of the codes that cannot be registered for your personal
code include: the permanent code, five numbers consisting of
the same button, five consecutive numbers and a sequential
combination of numbers. The keyless entry system reads 1/2
and 9/0 as sequential numbers.
