Matching Transmitter(s) to Your

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. All transmitters need to be
re-coded to match the new transmitter. The lost
transmitter will no longer work after the new transmitters
are re-coded. Each vehicle can have a maximum of
four transmitters matched to it.

FOB # BATTERY LOW” underDIC Warnings and

touch any of the circuitry. Static from your body
transferred to these surfaces may damage the
transmitter.
