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 retailer. Remember to bring any additional transmitters so they can also be re-coded to match the new transmitter. Once your retailer has coded the new transmitter, the lost transmitter cannot unlock the vehicle. The vehicle can have a maximum of four transmitters coded to it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in the RKE transmitter should last about four years.
If the battery is weak the transmitter will not work within its normal range. It is probably time to change the battery if you have to be very close to the vehicle before the transmitter works.
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:
- Insert a flat object with a thin edge into the notch, located below the trunk release button, and pry the front and back apart.
- Remove the old battery, but do not use a metal object to do this.
- Slide the new battery into the transmitter with the positive side of the battery facing up. Use a type CR2032 battery, or equivalent type.
- Snap the front and the back of the transmitter together.
- Test the operation of the transmitter with the vehicle.
