If you lose a transmitter or want to purchase additional transmitters (up to four can be programmed), you should reprogram all of your transmitters for security reasons. It is recommended that you have your dealer program all of your transmitters into your system.

▲ Programming the transmitters

The remote keyless entry system is equipped with a special code learning feature that allows you to program new transmitter codes into the system or to delete old ones. The system can learn up to four unique transmitter codes. The four transmitter codes may be the same or different.

Programming transmitter codes into system:

Key tag

Transmitter circuit board

To register a new transmitter with the remote keyless entry system, it is necessary to program the transmitter’s code (identification number) into the system. A tag showing the code is affixed to the key unit, and another is affixed to the circuit board inside the transmitter. If there is no tag, open the transmitter case and make a note of the eight-digit number. Program the number into the system in accordance with the following procedure.

1. Firmly close the doors and the rear gate.

2. Open the driver’s door, sit on the driver’s seat, and close the door.

3. Perform the following steps within 45 seconds.

(1) Open and close the driver’s door once.

1) LOCK
2) ON

(2) Insert the key into the ignition switch, then turn it from the “LOCK” position to the “ON” position 10 times within 15 seconds.

NOTE

• When you complete step (2), an electronic tone will sound once, a buzzer will continue to sound and the interior light will continue to flash until the transmitter codes are completely registered.

• If you do not perform steps (1) and (2) within 45 seconds, an error will occur. Neither an electronic tone nor the buzzer will sound, and the interior lamp will not flash. In this event, per- form the whole procedure again beginning with part 1.

4. Open and close the door once within 15 seconds.

NOTE

• When part 4 of the procedure is completed, an electronic tone will sound for 30 seconds.

• If you do not perform the operations in part 4 within 15 seconds, an error will occur and the electronic tone will not sound. In this event, perform the registration steps again beginning with part 3 of the procedure.

5. Before the electronic tone stops sounding, push the side of the
power door locking switch the same number of times as the leftmost digit of the transmitter code. For example, push the locking switch eight times if the leftmost digit of the code is 8.

NOTE

• The electronic tone will stop sounding when you start entering the number.

• If you do not start entering the number using the lock knob before the electronic tone stops sounding, an error will occur. In this event, perform the registration steps again beginning with part 3 of the procedure.

• If the interval between one push of the knob and the next exceeds 5 seconds, an error will occur. In this event, perform the procedure again beginning with part 4. If an error occurs six times, perform the procedure again starting with part 3.

6. When you have finished entering the number, push the side of the
locking switch within 5 seconds.

NOTE

• An electronic tone will sound.

• If you push the  side of the
locking switch when more than 5 seconds have passed, an error will occur. In this event, perform the procedure again beginning with part 4. If an error occurs six times, perform the procedure again starting with part 3.

7. Perform parts 5 and 6 of the procedure for each of the remaining digits of the transmitter code beginning with the second digit (counting from the left) and finishing with the eighth digit.

NOTE

• When you finish entering the eighth digit, an electronic tone will sound for 30 seconds.

• If the interval between one push of the switch and the next exceeds 5 seconds, an error will occur. In this event, perform the procedure again beginning with part 4. If an error occurs six times, perform the procedure again starting with part 3.

8. Before the electronic tone stops sounding, use the power door locking switch to reenter the transmitter code beginning with the leftmost digit.

NOTE

If you do not start entering the number using the lock knob before the electronic tone stops sounding, an error will occur. In this event, perform the procedure again beginning with part 3.

9. When you have finished entering the code a second time, an electronic tone will sound for 1 second and automatic door locking and unlocking operation will take place once to indicate completion of registration, provided the code entered the second time is identical to that entered the first time.

NOTE

If the code entered the second time is not identical to the code entered the first time, an error will occur. In this event, perform the procedure again beginning with part 5. If an error occurs five times, perform the procedure again starting with part 3.

10. If you wish to program another transmitter code into the system (up to four transmitter codes can be programmed into the system), perform the procedure beginning with part 4. When you have finished programming all of the necessary transmitter codes into the system, remove the key from the ignition switch.

11. Test every registered transmitter to confirm correct operation.

▲ Deleting old transmitter codes

The control unit of the remote keyless entry system has four memory locations to store transmitter codes, giving it the ability to operate with up to four transmitters.

When you lose a transmitter, the lost transmitter’s code remains in the memory.

For security reasons, lost transmitter codes should be deleted from the memory.

To delete old transmitter codes, program four transmitter codes into the system. If you have only one current transmitter, program it four times. If you have two current transmitters, program each one twice. If you have three current transmitters, program two of them once and the third one twice. This process will leave only current transmitter codes in the system’s memory.

NOTE

Make sure no one else is operating their keyless entry system within range of your vehicle when programming transmitters. If someone else were to operate their remote transmitter while you are programming your transmitters, it is possible that their transmitter code will be programmed into your system, allowing them unauthorized access to your vehicle.
