Keyless entry system (if equipped)
With the keyless entry keypad, you
can:

without using the key
²activate/deactivate the autolock feature
See alsoRemote entry systemin this chapter for more information.
Your vehicle has a factory-set 5±digit code that operates the keyless
entry system. You can also program your own 5±digit personal entry
code.
The factory-set code is located:
²on the owner's wallet card in the glove compartment
²taped to the computer module

middle of the controls to ensure a good activation.

them in sequential order. Thieves can easily figure out these types of
codes.
Your personal code does not replace the permanent code that the
dealership gave you. You can use either code to unlock your vehicle. If a
second personal code is entered, the module will erase the first personal
code in favor of the new code.
