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.
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry 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: I
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.
I. Use the round end of the door key or a coin to pry
