"
Do not expose the transmitter to severe
shocks, such as those experienced as a result 
of dropping or throwing. " Do not take the transmitter apart except when
replacing the battery. " Do not get the transmitter wet. If it gets wet,
wipe it dry with a cloth immediately.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC 
Rules and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Oper- 
ation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
This device may not cause harmful interference, 
and (2) this device must accept any interference 
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation. 
Changes or modifications not expressly approved 
by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 
Two transmitters are provided for your vehicle. 
The keyless entry system has the following functions. "
Locking and unlocking the doors (and rear gate on
the Station wagon) without a key " Locking and unlocking the doors (and trunk lid on
the Sedan) without key" Unlocking the rear gate on the Station wagon with-
out key " Unlocking the trunk lid on the Sedan without key
" Sounding a panic alarm
" Arming and disarming the security system (if your
vehicle is equipped with an optional security system). 
See the next section “Alarm system” for detailed infor-mation. 
The operable distance of the keyless entry system is 
approximately 30 feet (10 meters). However, this dis-
tance will vary depending on environmental condi- tions. The system’s operable distance will be shorter 
in areas near a facility or electronic equipment emitting
strong radio waves such as a power plant, broadcast 
station, TV tower, or remote controller of home elec- 
tronic appliances. 
The keyless entry system does not operate when the 
key is inserted in the ignition switch.

2. Remove the old battery from the holder. A) Negative (–) side facing up
3. Replace with a new battery (Type CR2025 or 
equivalent) making sure to install the new battery with 
the negative (–) side facing up.
4. Refit the removed half of the transmitter case. After the battery is replaced, the transmitter must 
be synchronized with the keyless entry system’s
control unit. Press either the “ ” or “ ” but- ton  six times  to synchronize the unit.

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.

NOTE 
If the code entered the second time is not identical to the code entered the first time, an error will oc-
cur. In this event, perform the procedure again be- 
ginning with part 5. If an error occurs five times, 
perform the procedure again starting with part 3. 
10.If you wish to program another transmitter code 
into the system (up to four transmitter codes can be 
programmed into the system), perform the procedure
beginning with part 4. When you have finished pro- 
gramming all of the necessary transmitter codes into 
the system, remove the key from the ignition switch.
11.Test every registered transmitter to confirm correct 
operation. !
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.

Rear passengers’ window switches 
A) Open
B) Close
To close the window, pull the switch up and hold it until 
the window reaches the desired position. 
When the lock switch on the power window switch 
cluster, located on the driver’s side door, is in the 
“LOCK” position, the passengers’ windows cannot be
operated with the passengers’ switches.
Trunk lid (Sedan)
" To prevent dangerous exhaust gas from en-
tering the vehicle, always keep the trunk lid 
closed while driving. " Help prevent young children from locking
themselves in the trunk. When leaving the vehi- 
cle, either close all windows and lock all doors 
or cancel the inside trunk lid release. Also make 
certain that the trunk is closed. On hot or sunny
days, the temperature in the trunk could quickly 
become high enough to cause death or serious 
heat-related injuries including brain damage,
particularly for small children.
! To open and close the trunk lid from  
outside
The trunk lid can be opened using the remote keyless entry system. Refer to “Remote keyless entry system 
(if equipped)” section in this chapter.
To close the trunk lid, lightly press the trunk lid down 
until the latch engages.
