Matching Transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle
Each RKE 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 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.
