Vehicle
Only RKE transmitters programmed to this vehiclewill work. If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacementcan be purchased and programmed through yourdealer/retailer. When the replacement transmitter isprogrammed to this vehicle, all remaining transmittersmust also be reprogrammed. Any lost or stolentransmitters will no longer work once the newtransmitter is programmed. Each vehicle can haveup to eight transmitters programmed to it. See“RelearnRemote Key”underDIC Operation and Displaysonpage 4!41for instructions on how to matchRKE transmitters to the vehicle.
