is lost or stolen, a replacement can be purchased through
your dealer. Remember
to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when
you go to your dealer. When
the dealer matches
the replacement transmitter to your
vehicle, any remaining transmitters must also be
matched. Once
the new transmitter is coded, the lost
transmitter will not unlock your vehicle. Each vehicle
can have only two transmitters matched to
it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the batteries in your key chain
transmitter should last about two years.
You can tell the batteries are weak if the transmitter
won’t work at the normal range in any location.
If you
have to get close
to your vehicle before the transmitter
works, it’s probably time
to change the batteries.
Use two Duracell@ type
DL2016 batteries or a similar
type.
To replace the batteries:
1. Insert a dime in the side seam of the transmitter
housing near
the key ring hole.
3. Remove and replace the batteries. Put the new
batteries
in with the printed side down.
4. Align the halves of the housing and snap
them together.
