To replace the battery in the Keyless Entry transmitter: Resynchronization
1. Insert a dime in the slot between the covers of the
transmitter housing near the key ring hole. Remove
the bottom by twisting the dime.
CR2032
or equivalent battery, positive (+)
side down.
2.
Remove and replace the battery with
a three volt
3. Align the covers and snap them together.
4. Check the operation of the transmitter. Resynchronization may
be necessary due to the security
method used
by this system. The transmitter does not
send the same signal twice to the receiver. The receiver
will not respond to a signal it has been sent previously.
This prevents anyone from recording and playing back
the signal from the transmitter.
To resynchronize your transmitter, stand close to your
vehicle and simultaneously press
and hold the LOCK
and
UNLOCK buttons on the transmitter for at least
five seconds. The door locks should cycle to confirm

you to remove your key
from the ignition and take it with you. Always do this.
