Matching Transmitter(s) to Your

Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can
be purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring
any remaining transmitters with you when you go to
your dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock
your vehicle. Each vehicle can have a maximum of four
transmitters matched to it.
See your dealer to match transmitters to another
vehicle.

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.
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. To
replace the battery, do the following:
1. Insert a coin, or similar object, into the notch near
the key ring. Turn it counterclockwise to separate
the two halves of the transmitter.
2. Once the transmitter is separated, use a pencil
eraser to remove the old battery.
Do not use a
metal object.
3. Replace the battery as the instructions under the
cover indicate. Use a Duracella battery,
type
DL-2032, or a similar type.
no moisture can enter.
4. Snap the transmitter back together tightly to be sure
5. Check the operation of the transmitter.
