LOCK: Press to lock all the doors.

UNLOCK: Press once to unlock the driver door. Press this button again within five seconds to unlock all the doors. The interior dome lamp comes on for about 40 seconds or until the ignition switch is activated.

Programming Transmitters to the Vehicle

Only RKE transmitters programmed to the vehicle will work. If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be purchased and programmed through your dealer/retailer. When the replacement transmitter is programmed to the vehicle, all remaining transmitters must also be programmed. Any lost or stolen transmitters no longer work once the new transmitter is programmed. Each vehicle can have up to four transmitters programmed to it.

Battery Replacement

Notice: When replacing the battery, do not touch any of the circuitry on the transmitter. Static from your body could damage the transmitter.

  1. Separate the transmitter with a flat, thin object inserted into the slot near the key ring hole.
  2. Remove the battery.
  3. Insert the new battery, positive (+) side down. Replace with a CR2032 or equivalent battery.
  4. Align the transmitter back together.
  5. Check the operation of the transmitter. If the transmitter does not work after battery replacement, it may need to be resynchronized to the vehicle. See Resynchronization following.

Resynchronization

Resynchronization may be necessary due to the security method used by this system. The transmitter does not send the same signal twice to the receiver. The receiver will not respond to a signal it has been sent previously. This prevents anyone from recording and playing back the signal from the transmitter.

To resynchronize the transmitter, stand close to the vehicle and simultaneously press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the transmitter for at least five seconds. The door locks should cycle to confirm resynchronization. If the locks do not cycle, see your dealer/retailer for service.
