Matching Transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle
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
retailer. Remember to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you go to your retailer.
When the retailer matches the replacementtransmitter to your vehicle, any remaining
transmitters must also be matched. Once your
retailer 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.
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
will not work at the normal range in any location.
If you have to get close to your vehicle before
the transmitter works, it is 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.
1. Use a at thin object to pry open the
transmitter.

2. Once the transmitter is separated, use a
pencil or similar object to remove the old
battery. Do not use a metal object.
3. Insert the new battery as the instructions
under the cover indicate.
4. Snap the transmitter back together tightly to
be sure no moisture can enter.
5. Check the operation of the transmitter.
If the transmitter does not work, try synchronizing
your transmitter with your receiver. See
“Resynchronization” for more information.
Resynchronization
This is used to keep the transmitter of the vehicle
communicating with the receiver of the vehicle.
Resynchronization may be required due to
the security method used by this system.
Your vehicle has an automatic resynchronization
function built into the system. If your transmitter is
not working properly and you have to manually
resynchronize, press the lock and unlock buttons at
the same time for seven seconds while you are
near your vehicle. The doors will lock or unlock,
depending on their starting position. If they do not,
contact your retailer for service.
