The keyless entry buttonsWhen 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 three places.
The code is:q
on your owner's wallet card found in the glove
compartment
q
taped to the trunk lid's right hinge support bar
q
taped to the computer module in your driver's
front door
When you use keyless entry, the illuminated entry
system turns on the interior lights for 25 seconds
and the buttons on the keypad light up. Do not
push the buttons with a key, ballpoint pen, pencil,
or any other hard object. These objects could
damage the buttons.
Unlocking the Doors with the Keyless
Entry SystemYou must unlock the driver's door before you
unlock any of the other doors or trunk. If you let
more than five (5) seconds pass before pressing
numbers, the system shuts down, and you have to
enter the code again. The system has shut down if
the keypad light is out. If the keyless entry system
does not work properly, use the key or
transmitter(s) to lock and unlock the doors or
unlock the trunk.
