Matching Transmitter(s) to Your
Vehicle
Each RKE transmitter is coded to prevent another
transmitter from unlocking your vehicle. If a
transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased through your dealer/retailer. Remember
to bring any additional transmitters so they can also
be re-coded to match the new transmitter. Once
your dealer/retailer has coded the new transmitter,
the lost transmitter will not unlock your vehicle. The
vehicle can have a maximum of eight transmitters
matched to it. See “Relearn Remote Key” under
DIC Operation and Displays (With DIC Buttons) on
page 233orDIC Operation and Displays (Without
DIC Buttons) on page 239for instructions on how to
match RKE transmitters to your vehicle.
