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. Once your dealer has coded
the new
transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have only two transmitters
matched to it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your RKE transmitter
should last about four
years.
You can tell the battery is 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 battery.
I NOTICE:
When replacing the battery, use care not to touch
any
of the circuitry. Static from your body
transferred to these surfaces may damage
the transmitter.

Trunk Lid Automatic Pull-Down Feature
' A CAUTION:
Your car has an automatic pull-down feature that
helps close the trunk electronically. Your fingers can be trapped under the trunk lid as it goes
down. Your fingers could be injured, and you
would need someone
to help you free them. Keep
your fingers away from the trunk lid as you close
it and as it is going down.
With the automatic pull-down feature, you never have to
slam the trunk lid in order to close the trunk. Instead,
gently lower the trunk lid until
it is nearly shut -- the
automatic pull-down unit will take over and lock the
trunk firmly.
