Programming remote transmitters
It is necessary to have all(maximum of four — original and/or new) of
your remote transmitters available prior to beginning this procedure.
To program the transmitters yourself:
• Insert a key in the ignition and
turn from 1 (LOCK) to 3 (ON)
eight times in rapid succession
(within 10 seconds) with the
eighth turn ending in the 3 (ON)
position. The doors will
lock/unlock to confirm that
programming mode has been
entered.
• Within 20 seconds, program a
remote transmitter by pressing any button on a transmitter. The doors
will lock/unlock to confirm that the remote transmitter has been
programmed. (If more than 20 seconds pass before pressing a remote
transmitter button, the programming mode will exit and the procedure
will have to be repeated.)
• Repeat the previous step to program additional remote transmitters.
The doors will lock/unlock to confirm that each remote transmitter has
been programmed.
• When you have completed programming the remote transmitters, turn
the ignition to 1 (LOCK) or wait 20 seconds. Again the doors will
lock/unlock to confirm programming has been completed.
Illuminated entry
The interior lamps illuminate when the remote entry system is used to
unlock the door(s).
The system automatically turns off after 30 seconds or when the ignition
is turned to the ON position. The dome lamp control 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 in the dome lamp 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.
