The keyless entry system keypad
[FV05110(ALL)04/95]
When you bought your vehicle, you were given a computer
code that operates the system for your vehicle. For your
convenience, we have duplicated this code in two places.
*
[FV05120(ALL)02/95]
The code is:
*
[FV05130(ALL)02/95]
n
on your owner's wallet card found in the glove compartment
*
[FV05145(ALL)02/95]
n
taped to the computer module
[FV05160(ALL)04/95]
When you use the keyless entry system, the illuminated entry
system turns on the interior lights for 25 seconds and the
buttons on the keypad light up for five seconds.
*
[FV05170(ALL)01/93]
Do not push the keypad buttons with a key, ball-point pen,
pencil, or any other hard object since they could damage the
buttons.

Enter the original permanent code.
[FV07101(ALL)04/95]2.
Press the 1/2 button within five seconds of step #1.
*
[FV07201(ALL)02/95]3.

[FV07250(ALL)11/93]4.
The keyless entry system automatically erases your personal
code. The system will now only respond to the permanent
code.
[FV07270(ALL)10/93]
Do not set a code that presents the numbers in sequential order,
such as 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 9/0. Studies show that people who
idly press the buttons usually press a sequential pattern. Also,
do not select a code that uses the same button five times.
Thieves can easily figure out these types of codes.

light is out. If the keyless entry system does not work properly,
use the key or Remote Entry transmitter(s) to lock and unlock
the doors or liftgate until the system can be serviced.

exterior lamps are not affected.) The purpose is to minimize
extended battery drain if the lights have inadvertently been left
on or if a door or the glove box is not completely closed.
However, the timer will be immediately reset to another 45
minutes if any of the following occurs:
