unlock, the horn will chirp twice, and a
30-second program timer will begin.3. You are now ready to program the automatic
door locks. Select one of the two programming
options listed previously, and press the lock

cycle through the lock options. You will have
30 seconds to begin programming. If you
exceed the 30-second limit, the locks
will automatically lock and unlock and the
horn will chirp twice to indicate that you have
left the program mode. If this occurs,
repeat the procedure beginning with Step 1 to
re-enter the programming mode.
You can exit the program mode any time by
turning the ignition to RUN. The locks will
automatically lock and unlock and the horn will
chirp twice to indicate that you are leaving
the program mode. If the lock/unlock switches are
