Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each key chain transmitter is coded to prevent another
transmitter
from unlocking your vehicle. If a transmitter
is lost or stolen, a replacement can ble 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 only four transmitters matched to it,
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battiry in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about two 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.
To replace your battery:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5,
Insert a flat object like a dime into the slot ‘on the side
of the trmsdtter md twist to separate the halves.
Gently

use metal flanges to “pop out” the battery.

the transmitter

snapped together tightly so water will not get in,

instructions on resynchronizing your remote transmi~r.

Trunk
I 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.
Resynchronizing Your Remote Keyless
Entry Transmitter
Your Keyless Entry System uses a continually changing
code for increased security. Normally, the receiver in
your vehicle will keep track
of this changing code.
0 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 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 when equipped with Content
Theft-Deterrent. Check transmitter.
It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk open
because carbon monoxide
(CO) gas can come into
your vehicle. You can’t see or smell CO.
It can
cause unconsciousness
and even death.
If you must drive with the trunk open or if
electrical wiring
or other cable connections must
pass through the seal between the body and
the trunk:
Make sure all windows are shut.

system to its highest speed with the setting

A red light located on top of your instrument panel (near
the center
of the vehicle, next to the windshield) will
flash slowly when the system is armed.
While armed, the doors will not unlock with the power
lock switch. The alarm will go
off if someone damages
the vehicle, tampers with the trunk lock, enters the
vehicle (without using the key chain transmitter or key
