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. Remember to
bring any additional transmitters so they can also
be re-coded to match the new transmitter.
Once your dealer has coded the new transmitter,
the lost transmitter will not unlock your vehicle.
Each vehicle can have up to four transmitters
matched to it.

people away from these parts when you are

the switch. If you continue to press the switch for
about two seconds after the hardtop has completely
lowered, the windows will automatically close.

designed to protect your vehicle’s battery.
When any interior lamp (trunk, reading lamps, or
dome lamp) is left on when the ignition is

Turn the lamp that was left on to off and then
to on again.

auxiliary electrical equipment such as a cellular
telephone or CB radio. The outlet can accept
electrical equipment rated at a maximum of
20 Amps.
There are two accessory power outlets. Both are
located on the center console below the climate
controls unless the vehicle is equipped with
enhanced traction or traction control system.
If the vehicle is equipped with a traction system,
one accessory power outlet is in the center storage
console and the other is located on the center
console below the climate controls.
To use an outlet, remove the protective cap.
When not in use, always cover the outlet with the
protective cap. The accessory power outlet is
operational at all times.
Notice:If electrical devices are left plugged
into a power outlet, the battery may drain
causing your vehicle not to start or damage to
the battery. This would not be covered by
the warranty. Always unplug all electrical
devices when turning off your vehicle.
