Locks and Security
Your vehicle has a factory-set 5–digit code that operates the keyless
entry system. You can also program your own 5–digit personal entry
code.
The factory-set code is located:
• On the owner's wallet card in the glove compartment,
• Taped to the computer module,
• In the interior of the trunk, or
• At your dealer.
When using the keyless entry keypad, press the middle of each button in
order to ensure a good activation.
Programming your own entry code
1. Enter the factory-set code (keypad will illuminate when pressed).
2. Press the 1/2 control within 7.5
seconds of step 1. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
3. Enter your personal 5–digit code.
Enter each digit within 7.5 seconds
of the previous one.
4. Enter a sixth digit to indicate
which personality feature should be
recalled by the personal code.
• 1/2 recalls personality 1
• 3/4 recalls personality 2
• 9/0 does not recall a personality
All of the vehicle doors will lock and unlock to confirm programing of the
new code. Each personality driver profile (personality 1 or personality 2)
can be associated with only one personal code. The factory-set code
cannot be associated with a personality code.
Do not set a code that includes five of the same number or presents
them in sequential order; these types of codes are easier to figure out.
You can program up to two personal codes to unlock your vehicle. These
codes do not replace the permanent code that the dealership gave you.
