locks. You can keep the trunk and glove box locked
when you leave your vehicle and valet key at a parking facility.
NOTE
If the key is attached to a keyholder or to a large
bunch of other keys, centrifugal force may act on
it as the vehicle moves, resulting in unwanted
turning of the ignition switch. Also, if a large key-
holder is attached to the key, your knees or hands
may accidentally touch it in a way that turns the ig-
nition switch. !

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. !
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.
Programming transmitter codes into system:
Bag containing transmitter Transmitter circuit board
To register a new transmitter with the keyless entry system, it is necessary to program the transmitter’s
code (identification number) into the system. A label
showing the code is affixed to the bag containing the
transmitter, and another is affixed to the circuit board
inside the transmitter. If there is no bag, open the
transmitter case and make a note of the eight-digit
number. Program the number into the system in ac-
cordance with the following procedure:
1. Firmly close the doors and the rear gate or trunk lid.
2. Open the driver’s door, sit on the driver’s seat, and
close the door.
