Programming Procedure #106

Programming Transmitters to the Vehicle

Only RKE transmitters programmed to the vehicle will work.If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be purchased and programmed through your dealer. The vehicle can be reprogrammed so that lost or stolen transmitters no longer work. Each vehicle can have up to eight transmitters matched to it.

Programming with a Recognized Transmitter (Keyless Access Vehicles Only)
A new transmitter can be programmed to the vehicle when there is one recognized transmitter. To program, the vehicle must be off and all of the transmitters, both currently recognized and new, must be with you.

1. Open the center console storage area and the storage tray.

2. Place the recognized transmitter(s) in the pocket. The transmitter pocket is inside the center console storage area between the driver and front passenger seats.

3. Remove the key lock cylinder cap. See Door Locks on page 2-10. Insert the vehicle key into the key lock cylinder on the driver door handle. Then tum the key counterclockwise, to the unlock position, five times within 10 seconds.
