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).

Reprogramming transmitters

To reprogram all transmitters, place the key in the ignition and switch
from OFF to ON eight times in a row (within 10 seconds). After doors
lock/unlock, press any button on all transmitters (up to four). When
completed, switch the ignition to OFF.
All transmitters must be reprogrammed at the same time.

Illuminated entry

The interior lamps illuminate when the remote entry system is used to
unlock the door(s) or sound the personal alarm.
The system automatically turns off after 25 seconds or when the ignition
is turned to the START or ACC position. The dome lamp switch
(if equipped) must not be set to the OFF position for the illuminated
entry system to operate.
The inside lights will not turn off if:
they have been turned on with the dimmer control or
any door is open.
The battery saver will shut off the interior lamps 40 minutes after the
ignition has been turned to the OFF position.
