Replacing the battery
Do not let dust, oil or water get on or in the
transmitter when replacing the battery.
When the transmitter battery begins to get weak,
transmitter range will begin to decrease and the LED
will not illuminate. Replace the battery as soon as pos-
sible.
To replace the battery:
1. Remove the two screws on the back of the trans- mitter case by using a Phillips screwdriver.
2. Separate the case.
3. Remove the old battery from the holder.
1) Positive (+) side facing up
4. Replace with a new battery (Type CR2032 or
equivalent) making sure to install the new battery with
the positive (+) side facing up.
5. Install the back half of the transmitter case.
6. Reinstall the two screws on the back of the trans-
mitter case.
After the battery is replaced, the transmitter must
be synchronized with the keyless entry system’s
control unit. Press either the “LOCK/ARM” or “UN-

LOCK/DISARM” button six times to synchronize
the unit. „ Replacing lost transmitters
If you lose a transmitter or want to purchase additional
transmitters (up to four can be programmed), you
should re-program all of your transmitters for security
reasons. It is recommended that you have your dealer
program all of your transmitters into your system. T Programming the transmitters
The keyless entry system is equipped with a special
code learning feature that allows you to program new
transmitter codes into the system or to delete old
ones. The system can learn up to four unique transmit-
ter codes. The four transmitter codes may be the
same or different. To enter the programming mode:0
1. Press “UNLOCK/DISARM” button to disarm the se-
curity system. (if your vehicle is equipped with the op-
tional security system.)

system has exited the programming mode.
2. Make sure that the keyless entry system properly
operates by operating each transmitter. T
Deleting old transmitter codes
The control unit of the keyless entry system has four
memory locations to store transmitter codes, giving it
the ability to operate with up to four transmitters. When
you lose a transmitter, the lost transmitter’s code re-
mains in the memory. For security reasons, lost trans-
mitter codes should be deleted from the memory.
To delete old transmitter codes, program four trans-
mitter codes into the system. If you have only one cur-
rent transmitter, program it four times. If you have two
current transmitters, program each one twice. If you
have three current transmitters, program two of them
once and the third one twice. This process will leave
only current transmitter codes in the system’s memo- ry.
NOTE
Make sure no one else is operating their keyless
entry system within range of your vehicle when
programming transmitters. If someone else were
to operate their remote transmitter while you are
programming your transmitters, it is possible that
their transmitter code will be programmed into
your system, allowing them unauthorized access to your vehicle.

Security system (if equipped)
The security system helps to protect your vehicle and
valuables from theft. The horn sounds and the turn
signal lights flash if someone attempts to break into
your vehicle. The starter motor is also interrupted to
prevent starting the vehicle without a key.
The system can be armed and disarmed with the re-
mote transmitter.
The system does not operate when the key is inserted
into the ignition switch. „System operation
The security system will give the following alarm indi-
cations when triggered: y The turn signal lights will flash and the horn will
sound intermittently. In addition, the starter motor will
not operate. y The alarm automatically resets after 30 seconds;
however, the alarm will reactivate if the vehicle is tam-
pered with again. The alarm will continue for six times
if any sensor continues to be activated.
The alarm is triggered by: y Opening a door.
y Application of physical shock to the vehicle (e.g. breaking glass or forced entry). Note that there are two
alarm levels for shock: warning and alarm. In warning
mode, the alarm detects lower level vibrations and
triggers 2 warning chirps on the horn and two flashes
on the lights as a deterrent to would be vandals. In
alarm mode, higher levels of shock are detected and
the system will go into full alarm. y
Ignition switch being turned on while in armed state.
NOTE yThe alarm will not be triggered by opening the
switchback door. y The alarm may not be triggered when the win-
dow is broken with a sharp-edged tool. y With the valet mode selected, the security sys-
tem does not operate and the turn signal lights do
not flash when the remote transmitter is used for
locking and unlocking.
The security system indicator light in the combi-
nation meter flashes twice per second to show
that the valet mode is selected.
For details, refer to “Valet mode” in this section. „ Arming the system
