Matching Transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle
Each keyless access transmitter is coded to prevent another transmitter from
working with your vehicle. If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased through your dealer/retailer. All transmitters need to be re-coded to match
the new transmitter. The lost transmitter will no longer work after the new transmitters
are re-coded. Each vehicle can have a maximum of four transmitters matched to it.
To match a new transmitter to your vehicle when you have a recognized transmitter:
Two recognized transmitters are required for Canadian owners.
- The vehicle must be off.
- Have the recognized and new, unrecognized transmitters on your person.
- Go to the rear of the vehicle and insert the vehicle key into the key
cylinder located on the lower rear fascia on the driver's side of the vehicle. See
Trunk
for more information on the key cylinder.
- Open the trunk.
- Turn the key five times within five seconds.
- The Driver Information Center (DIC) will display READY FOR FOB #X. X can
be 2, 3 or 4.
- Place the new, unrecognized transmitter
in the glove box transmitter pocket with the buttons facing to the right.
- Once the transmitter is programmed, a beep will sound. The DIC will display
READY FOR #X, where X can be 3 or 4, or MAX # FOBS LEARNED.
- Press the Acc. button.
The Canadian immobilizer standard requires Canadian owners to see their dealer/retailer
for matching new transmitters when two recognized transmitters are not available.
United States owners are permitted to match a new transmitter to their vehicle when
a recognized transmitter is not available. The procedure will require three ten minute
cycles to complete the matching process. Do the following:
- The vehicle must be off.
- Place the new, unrecognized transmitter
in the glove box transmitter pocket with the buttons facing to the right.
- Go to the rear of the vehicle and insert the vehicle key into the key
cylinder located on the lower rear fascia on the driver's side of the vehicle. See
Trunk
for more information on the key cylinder.
- Open the trunk.
- Turn the key five times within five seconds.
- The DIC message will display OFF-ACC TO LEARN.
- Press the Acc. button.
- The DIC will read WAIT 10 MINUTES and will count down to zero, one minute
at a time.
- The DIC will display OFF-ACC TO LEARN again.
- Press the Acc. button.
- The DIC will read WAIT 10 MINUTES and will count down to zero, one minute
at a time.
- The DIC will display OFF-ACC TO LEARN again.
- Press the Acc. button.
- The DIC will read WAIT 10 MINUTES and will count down to zero, one minute
at a time.
- A beep will sound and the DIC will read READY FOR FOB #1. At this time,
all previously known transmitters have been erased.
- Once the transmitter is recognized and programmed, a beep will sound and
the DIC will display READY FOR FOB #2.
If you have additional transmitters to program, take transmitter 1 out of the
transmitter pocket and place transmitter 2 in the pocket. This can be done repeatedly
until up to four transmitters have been programmed. The DIC will then display MAX
# FOBS LEARNED and will exit the programming mode.
When you are done programming transmitters, press the Acc. button.
Battery Replacement
A weak battery may also cause the DIC to display NO FOB DETECTED when you try
to start the vehicle. If this happens, place the transmitter in the glove box transmitter
pocket with the buttons facing to the right. Then, with the vehicle in PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N), press the brake pedal and the START button. Although this will start
the vehicle, it is recommended that you replace the transmitter battery as soon as
possible. The DIC may display FOB BATTERY LOW.
Notice: When replacing the battery, do not touch
any of the circuitry on the transmitter. Static from your body could damage the transmitter.
- Separate the halves of the transmitter with a flat, thin object inserted
into the slot on the side of the transmitter.
- Remove the old battery. Do not use a metal object.
- Insert the new battery, positive side facing down. Replace with a CR2032
or equivalent battery.
- Put the transmitter back together tightly.
