Replacing the Battery in the Remote Keyless Entry
System Transmitter
To replace the battery in the keychain transmitter:
1. Use a small coin or flathead screwdriver to separate
the bottom half from the top half of the transmitter.
2. Remove the battery and replace
it with the new one.
Make
sure the
positive
(+)
side
of the
battery
faces
down. For battery replacement, use a 3 volt battery,
type CR2032, or equivalent.
3. Read the instructions inside the case.
4.
Put the two halves back together. Make sure the
cover is on tightly, so water won't get in.
5.
Check the operation of the transmitter with your
vehicle. If the transmitter does not work, try
synchronizing the transmitter with the receiver.
Synchronization
Your Remote Keyless Entry system is equipped with a
security system that prevents anyone from recording and
playing back your signal. The transmitter does not send
the same signal twice to the receiver. The receiver will
not respond to a signal that has been sent to it more
than once.
To resynchronize your transmitter and receiver, follow
these directions:
1. Stand close to your vehicle.
2. Press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on
the transmitter at the same time.
3. Hold the buttons for at least five seconds. During
this time, the doors should lock and unlock once.
This confirms
the
resynchronization. If
the doors
do
not lock and unlock, see your dealer for service.
