&Replacing lost transmitters
If you lose a transmitter or want topurchase additional transmitters (up tofour can be programmed), you should re-program all of your transmitters for secur-ity reasons. It is recommended that youhave your dealer program all of yourtransmittersinto your system.
!Programming the transmitters
The remote keyless entry system isequipped witha special code learningfeature that allows you to program newtransmitter codes into the system or todelete old ones. The system can learn upto four unique transmitter codes. The fourtransmitter codes may be the same or

different.
Programming transmitter codes intosystem:
Key tag
Transmitter circuit board
To register a new transmitter with the
remote keyless entry system, it is neces-sary to program the transmitter’s code(identification number) into the system. Atag showing the code is affixed to the keyunit, and another is affixed to the circuitboard inside the transmitter. If there is notag, open the transmitter case and make anote of the eight-digit number. Programthe number into the system in accordancewith the following procedure.
1. Firmly close the doors and the reargate.
2. Open the driver’s door, sit on thedriver’s seat, and close the door.
3. Perform the following steps within 45seconds.
(1) Open and close the driver’s dooronce.
1) LOCK2) ON
(2) Insert the key into the ignitionswitch, then turn it from the“LOCK”position to the“ON”position 10 timeswithin 15 seconds.
NOTE
.When you complete step (2), anelectronic tone will sound once, abuzzer will continue to sound and theinterior light will continue to flash untilthe transmitter codes are completelyregistered..If you do not perform steps (1) and(2) within 45 seconds, an error willoccur. Neither an electronic tone northe buzzer will sound, and the interiorlamp will not flash. In this event, per-

form the whole procedure again begin-ning with part 1.
4. Open and close the door once within15 seconds.
NOTE
.When part 4 of the procedure iscompleted, an electronic tone willsound for 30 seconds..If you do not perform the operationsin part 4 within 15 seconds, an errorwill occur and the electronic tone willnot sound. In this event, perform theregistration steps again beginning withpart 3 of the procedure.
5. Before the electronic tone stopssounding, push the“”side of the powerdoor locking switch the same number oftimes as the leftmost digit of the transmit-
ter code. For example, push the lockingswitch eight times if the leftmost digit ofthe code is 8.
NOTE
.The electronic tone will stop sound-ing when you start entering the num-ber..If you do not start entering thenumber using the lock knob beforetheelectronic tone stops sounding, anerror will occur. In this event, performthe registration steps again beginningwith part 3 of the procedure..If the interval between one push ofthe knob and the next exceeds 5seconds, an error will occur. In thisevent, perform the procedure againbeginning with part 4. If an error occurssix times, perform the procedure againstarting with part 3.
6. When you have finished entering thenumber, push the“”side of the lockingswitch within 5 seconds.
NOTE
.An electronic tone will sound..If you push the“”side of thelocking switch when more than 5seconds have passed, an error willoccur. In this event, perform the proce-dure again beginning with part 4. If anerror occurs six times, perform theprocedure again starting with part 3.
7. Perform parts 5 and 6 of the procedurefor eachof the remaining digits of thetransmitter code beginning with the sec-ond digit (counting from the left) andfinishing with the eighth digit.

NOTE
.When you finish entering the eighthdigit, an electronic tone will sound for30 seconds..If the interval between one push ofthe switch and the next exceeds 5seconds, an error will occur. In thisevent, perform the procedure againbeginning with part 4. If an error occurssix times, perform the procedure againstarting with part 3.
8. Before the electronic tone stopssounding, use the power door lockingswitch to reenter the transmitter codebeginningwith the leftmost digit.
NOTE
If you do not start entering the numberusing the lock knob before the electro-nic tone stops sounding, an error willoccur. In this event, perform the proce-dure again beginning with part 3.
9. When you have finished entering thecode a second time, an electronic tone willsound for 1 second and automatic doorlocking and unlocking operation will takeplace once to indicate completion ofregistration, provided the code enteredthe second time is identical to that enteredthe first time.
NOTE
If the code entered the second time isnot identical to the code entered thefirst time, an error will occur. In thisevent, perform the procedure againbeginning with part 5. If an error occursfive times, perform the procedure againstarting with part 3.
10. If you wish to program another trans-mitter code into the system (up to fourtransmitter codes can be programmed intothe system), perform the procedure begin-ning with part 4. When you have finishedprogramming all of the necessary trans-mitter codes into the system, remove thekey from the ignition switch.
11. Test every registered transmitter toconfirm correctoperation.
!Deleting old transmitter codes
The control unit of the remote keylessentry system has four memory locations tostore transmitter codes, giving it the abilityto operate with up to four transmitters.When you lose a transmitter, the losttransmitter’s code remains in the memory.For security reasons, lost transmittercodes should be deleted from the mem-ory.
To delete old transmitter codes, programfour transmitter codes into the system. If
you have only one current transmitter,program it four times. If you have twocurrent transmitters, program each onetwice. If you have three current transmit-ters, program two of them once and thethird one twice. This process will leaveonly current transmitter codes in thesystem’s memory.
NOTE
Make sure no one else is operatingtheir keyless entry system within rangeof your vehicle when programmingtransmitters. If someone else were tooperate their remote transmitter whileyou are programming your transmit-ters, it is possible that their transmittercode will be programmed into yoursystem, allowing them unauthorizedaccess to your vehicle.
