If you lose a transmitter or want to
purchase additional transmitters (up to
four can be programmed), you should re-
program all of your transmitters for secur- ity reasons. It is recommended that you
have your dealer program all of your
transmitters into your system. !
Programming the transmitters
The remote keyless entry system is
equipped with a special code learning
feature that allows you to program new
transmitter codes into the system or to
delete old ones. The system can learn up
to four unique transmitter codes. The four
transmitter codes may be the same or
different.
Programming transmitter codes into system:
Bag containing transmitter
Transmitter circuit board
To register a new transmitter with the
remote keyless entry system, it is neces-
sary to program the transmitter ’s code
(identification number) into the system. A
label showing the code is affixed to the
bag containing the transmitter, and an-
other is affixed to the circuit board inside
the transmitter. If there is no bag, open the
transmitter case and make a note of the
eight-digit number. Program the number
into the system in accordance with the
following procedure:
1. Firmly close the doors and the rear
gate, or trunk lid.
2. Open the driver ’s door, sit in the
driver ’s seat, and close the door.
3. Perform the following steps within 45 seconds.

(1) Open and close the driver’s door
once.
1) ON
2) LOCK
(2) Insert the key into the ignition
switch, then turn it from the “LOCK ” position to the
“ON ”position 10 times
within 15 seconds.
NOTE . When you complete step (2), an
electronic tone will sound once. . If you do not perform steps (1) and
(2) within 45 seconds, an error will
occur. Neither an electronic tone nor
the buzzer will sound, and the interior
lamp will not flash. In this event, per-
form the whole procedure again begin-
ning with part 1.
4. Open and close the door once within
15 seconds. NOTE . When part 4 of the procedure is
completed, an electronic tone will
sound for 30 seconds.. If you do not perform the operations
in part 4 within 15 seconds, an error
will occur and the electronic tone will
not sound. In this event, perform the
registration steps again beginning with
part 3 of the procedure.

ter code. For example, push the lock
switch eight times if the leftmost digit of
the code is 8. NOTE . The electronic tone will stop sound-
ing when you start entering the num-
ber.. If you do not start entering the
number using the lock switch before
the electronic tone stops sounding, an
error will occur. In this event, perform
the registration steps again beginning
with part 3 of the procedure.. If the interval between one push of
the switch and the next exceeds 5
seconds, an error will occur. In this
event, perform the procedure again
beginning with part 4. If an error occurs
six times, perform the procedure again
starting with part 3.

6. When you have finished entering the
number, push the unlock side of the lock
switch within 5 seconds. NOTE .
An electronic tone will sound.
. If you push the unlock side of the
lock switch when more than 5 seconds
have passed, an error will occur. In this
event, perform the procedure again
beginning with part 4. If an error occurs
six times, perform the procedure again
starting with part 3.
7. Perform parts 5 and 6 of the procedure
for each of the remaining digits of the
transmitter code beginning with the sec-
ond digit (counting from the left) and
finishing with the eighth digit. NOTE . When you finish entering the eighth
digit, an electronic tone will sound for
30 seconds.. If the interval between one push of
the switch and the next exceeds 5
seconds, an error will occur. In this
event, perform the procedure again
beginning with part 4. If an error occurs
six times, perform the procedure again
starting with part 3.
8. Before the electronic tone stops
sounding, use the power door lock switch
to reenter the transmitter code beginning
with the leftmost digit.
