four transmitter codes into the system. If
you have only one current transmitter,
program it four times. If you have two cur-
rent transmitters, pr ogram each one twice.
If you have three current transmitters, pro-
gram two of them once and the third one
twice. This process will leave only current
transmitter codes in the system’s memory.
NOTE

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 transmit-
ters, it is possible that their transmitter
code will be programmed into your
system, allowing them unauthorized
access to your vehicle.

vehicle and valuables from theft. The horn
sounds and the turn signal lights flash if
someone attempts to break into your vehi-cle.
