Matching Transmitter(s) to Your
Vehicle
Each Keyless Access System is coded to allow
only transmitters programmed to your vehicle
to work. If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a
replacement can be purchased and programmed
through your dealer. Your dealer can reprogram
your vehicle so lost or stolen transmitters no longer
work with your vehicle. Each vehicle can have a
maximum of four transmitters matched to it.
To match a new transmitter to your vehicle when
you have a recognized transmitter, do the
following. Two recognized transmitters are required
for Canadian owners.
1. The vehicle must be off.
2. Have the recognized transmitter and the new,
unrecognized transmitter(s) with you.
3. Insert the vehicle key into the key lock
cylinder located on the outside of the
driver’s door.4. Turn the key to the unlock position
ve times within ve seconds.

will display READY FOR FOB X,
where X can be 2, 3 or 4.

the transmitter pocket with the transmitter
buttons facing the front of the vehicle.
The transmitter pocket is inside the center
console storage area located between
the driver and front passenger seats.7. Once the transmitter is programmed,
a beep will sound. The DIC will display
READY FOR X, where X can be 3 or 4,

8. Remove the transmitter from the transmitter
pocket and press the unlock button on the
keyless access transmitter two times.
The Canadian immobilizer standard requires
Canadian owners to see their dealer for matching
new transmitters when a recognized transmitter
is not available. United States owners are
permitted to match a new transmitter to their
vehicle when a recognized transmitter is
not available.
