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 three places.
The code is:q
on your owner's wallet card found in the glove
compartment
q
taped to the right hinge of the trunk lid
q
taped to the computer module inside the
driver's door panel
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.
1. To unlock the driver's door, enter the factory
code or your personal code. All codes have five
(5) numbers. After you press the fifth number,
the driver's door unlocks.
2. To unlock the passenger's door, press the 3/4
button within five seconds of unlocking the
driver's door or trunk, or re-enter the code to
open the driver's door, then press 3/4.

1203. To unlock the trunk, press the 5/6 button
within five (5) seconds of unlocking the driver's
or passenger's door, or re-enter the code to
open the driver's door, then press 5/6.
As long as the driver's door has been unlocked first,
you can open the passenger door or the trunk in
any order.Locking the Doors with the Keyless
Entry SystemAlong with unlocking your doors, you can use the
keyless entry system to lock the doors.
To lock all of the vehicle's doors at the same time,
press 7/8 and 9/0 at the same time. It is not
necessary to first enter the keypad code. This will
also arm your anti-theft system (if equipped).
AutolockThe Autolock feature will automatically lock both
doors when:q
the ignition key remains in the ON position
q
driver's and passenger's doors are closed
q
a door is opened and then closed
q
the vehicle is in a forward gear, and
q
you exceed three mph (five km/h).
If you do not want to use the Autolock feature, it
can be deactivated by using the driver's settings
menu in the Message Center.
Programming Your Own Entry CodeYou can program a personal code to unlock your
vehicle. This code does not replace the permanent
code that the dealership gave you. Use your
personal code in the same manner as you would
your original code.

To program your own code:
1. Select five digits for your personal code.
2. Enter the factory code that the dealership gave
you.
3. Within five (5) seconds, press 1/2.
4. Within five (5) seconds of pressing 1/2, enter
your personal code, pressing each digit within
five (5) seconds of the previous digit.
The keyless entry system registers this second
code. To open your vehicle, you can now use
either code. The module remembers only one
personal code at a time. Entering a second
personal code will erase the first, replacing it
with the new second one.To erase your personal code:
1. Enter the original permanent code.
2. Press 1/2 within five seconds of Step 1.
3. Wait six seconds.
The keyless entry system automatically erases
your personal code. The system will now only
respond to the permanent code.
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.
