to four transmitters. When you lose a transmitter, the lost transmitter ’s
code remains in the memory. For security reasons, lost transmitter
codes should be deleted from the memory.
To delete old transmitter codes, program four transmitter codes into
the system. If you have only one current transmitter, program it four

you have three current transmitters, program two of them once and
the third one twice. This process will leave only current transmittercodes in the system ’s memory.
NOTE

someone else were to operate their remote transmitter while youare programming your transmitters, it is possible that their trans-mitter code will be programmed into your system, allowing themunauthorized access to your vehicle.
