Replacing lost transmitters
Take all your vehicle’s transmitters
to your dealer for reprogramming
if:
• a transmitter is lost or
• you want to purchase additional
transmitters (up to four may be
programmed).
To reprogram the transmitters,
place the key in the ignition and
switch from OFF to ON eight times
in rapid succession (within 10
seconds). After doors lock/unlock,
press any button on all
transmitters (up to four). With
each button press of the
transmitters, the door should cycle
(lock/unlock) to confirm
programming. When completed,
switch the ignition to OFF. The
door locks should cycle
(lock/unlock) one last time to
confirm completion of
programming.
