Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry 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

When the retailer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining
transmitters must also be matched. Once your

lost transmitter will not unlock your vehicle.
Each vehicle can have a maximum of four
transmitters matched to it.
See your retailer to match transmitters to
another vehicle.
