Matching Transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle
Each RKE transmitter is uniquely coded to prevent another transmitter from unlocking the 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. The vehicle can have a maximum of four transmitters coded to it.
Battery Replacement
If the transmitter will not work within its normal range, change the battery.
Notice: When replacing the battery, do not touch any of the circuitry on the transmitter. Static from your body could damage the transmitter.
To replace the battery do the following:
- Separate the halves of the transmitter with a flat, thin object inserted into the notch on the side.
- Remove the old battery. Do not use a metal object.
- Insert the new battery, positive side facing up. Replace with a CR2032 or equivalent battery.
- Put the transmitter back together tightly.
