transmitter codes, giving it the ability to
operate with up to four transmitters. When
you lose a transmitter, the lost transmit-
ter’s code remains in the memory. For se-
curity reasons, lost transmitter codes
should be deleted from the memory.
To delete old transmitter codes, program

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 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 transmit-
ters, it is possible that their transmitter
code will be programmed into your
system, allowing them unauthorized
access to your vehicle. Alarm system The alarm 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 vehi-
cle.
The system can be armed and disarmed

alarms when triggered:
y The vehicle’s horn will sound and the
turn signal lights will flash for 30 seconds.
y If any door (or the rear gate/trunk lid) re-
mains open after the 30-second period,
the horn will continue to sound for a maxi-
mum of 3 minutes. If the door (or the rear
gate/trunk lid) is closed while the horn is
sounding, the horn will stop sounding with
a delay of up to 30 seconds.
The alarm is triggered by: y Opening a door, the rear gate or trunk
lid
y Physical impact to the vehicle, such as
