Transmitter Programming: Notes

NOTE: While reprogramming remote transmitter, leave window down to avoid unintentional lock-out if procedure is not properly performed.

Up to 4 transmitters can be programmed to vehicle. Do not operate or program transmitters in vicinity of other vehicles that are in keyless entry program mode. This prevents programming of transmitters to incorrect vehicle. Order in which transmitters are programmed is important. First transmitter programmed will be transmitter No. 1, and second transmitter programmed will be transmitter No. 2. Use care to program transmitters correctly.
