Programming a personal entry code
To create your own personal entry code:
1. Enter the factory set code.
2. Within five seconds press the 1 • 2 on the keypad.
3. Enter your personal 5-digit code. Each number must be entered
within five seconds of each other.
Tips:
• Do not set a code that uses five of the same number.
• Do not use five numbers in sequential order.
• The factory set code will work even if you have set your own personal
code.
• If you set a second personal code it will erase your first personal code.
Erasing personal code
1. Enter the factory set 5–digit code.
2. Press and hold the 1 • 2 for two seconds. This must be done within
five seconds of completing step 1.
3. Press the 7 • 8 and the 9 • 0 at the same time. This must be done
within five seconds of completing step 2.
Your personal code is now erased and only the factory set 5–digit code
will work.
Anti-scan feature
If the wrong code has been entered 36 times, the keypad will go into an
anti-scan mode. This mode disables the keypad for one minute and the
keypad lamp will flash during this time.
The anti-scan feature will turn off after:
• one minute of keypad inactivity.
• pressing the UNLOCK
control on the remote entry transmitter.
• the ignition is turned to the ON position.
Unlocking and locking the doors using keyless entry
To unlock the driver's door, enter the factory set 5-digit code or your

other. The interior lamps will illuminate after pressing the first control on
the keypad.
