four transmitter codes into the system. If
you have only one current transmitter,
program it four times. If you have two cur-
rent transmitters, pr ogram each one twice.
If you have three current transmitters, pro-
gram two of them once and the third one
twice. This process will leave only current
transmitter codes in the system’s memory.
NOTE
Make sure no one else is operating
their keyless entry system within range
of your vehicle when programming
transmitters. If someone else were to
operate their remote transmitter while
you are programming your transmit-
ters, it is possible that their transmitter
code will be programmed into your

the horn will continue to sound for a maxi-
mum of 3 minutes. If the door (or the rear
gate/trunk lid) is closed while the horn is
sounding, the horn will stop sounding with
a delay of up to 30 seconds.
The alarm is triggered by: y
