All Vehicles - Initiating a Module After Coding or Adaptation
After coding a module or changing an adaptation channel, it may be necessary to initiate the coding. To perform this procedure, remove the key from the ignition and lock all doors with the remote. Wait a few minutes for the modules to enter sleep mode and then unlock the doors with the remote to verify if the changes took effect.
