Keyless Entry Keypad Code Programming
Programming a Personal Entry Code and Keypad Association to Memory Features (If Equipped)
NOTE: The system allows 3 personal codes to be programmed.
NOTE: Multiple personal codes can be programmed in one step. When programming multiple codes in one step, each code must be programmed by entering each button within 5 seconds of each other. If 5 seconds elapse between any button press, programming mode is exited.
NOTE: If only a single personal code is desired or unable to program multiple codes in one step, each personal code can be programmed individually by repeating Steps 1-5 for each code desired.
1. Enter the factory set 5-digit keyless entry keypad code.
2. Within 5 seconds, press the 1/2 button on the keypad to activate the programming mode.
3. Enter the new personal 5-digit keyless entry keypad code. Each number must be entered within 5 seconds of each other.
4. After entering the new personal code, press a 6th button to program each new code.
- Pressing 1/2 stores the first personal code (if equipped with memory, this code is associated with driver 1 settings).
- Pressing 3/4 stores the second personal code (if equipped with memory, this code is associated with driver 2 settings).
- Pressing 5/6, 7/8 or 9/0 stores the third personal code, but does not associate the code with a memory setting.
5. The door locks lock and unlock to confirm the new code is programmed.
Erasing a Personal Entry Code
