Matching Transmitter(s) to Your

Each keyless access transmitter is coded to allow only
transmitters programmed to the vehicle to work. If a
transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased and programmed by your dealer/retailer.

or stolen transmitters no longer work with the vehicle.

matched to it.
