•Nearby radio towers
•Structures around the vehicle
•Other vehicles parked next to the vehicle
To replace the battery:

halves of the transmitter near the

FRONT PART OF THE
TRANSMITTER APART.

system. You can also program your own 5 digit personal entry code. The
factory-set code is located:
•on the owner’s wallet card in the glove compartment
When pressing the controls on the keyless entry keypad, press the
middle of the controls to ensure a good activation.
