Resynchronizing Your Remote Transmitter
Your Remote Lock Control System uses a continually
changing code for increased security. Normally, the
receiver
in your vehicle will keep track of this
changing code.
Loss of synchronization will occur if the transmitter
is activated more than
256 times while out of range
of the vehicle.
Loss of synchronization will occur after the battery
replacement if the transmitter is immediately
activated more than
16 times while out of range of
the vehicle.
If your key chain transmitter has stopped working, you
may need to resynchronize the transmitter to the vehicle
receiver. To do this, press the
LOCK and UNLOCK
buttons together and hold for at least seven seconds or
until the horn sounds if equipped with Content Theft
Deterrent. Check the transmitter operation.
Switchbanks
There are two sets of switchbanks located in the front of
the vehicle, The switches will vary with the options that
are on your vehicle. It
is useful to become familiar with
them since they are used frequently while operating
the vehicle.
Overhead Console Switchbank
This switchbank is located in the overhead console. The
switches that you may find
in this switchbank are the
Interior Lights Override, Power Sliding Door Override,
Power Sliding
Door, Power Rear Quarter Windows and
Sunroof.
If your vehicle does not have some of the
options controlled by these switches, there
will be a
blank button
in its place.
For more information, please see each of these features
in the Index.
