Setup: Do-It-Yourself Programming

This remote can be self-programmed if you possess at least one working keyless entry remote for your vehicle. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Prepare the Vehicle: Insert your vehicle key into the ignition switch. Turn the ignition to the RUN position (as far as it will go without cranking the engine). Wait for the ignition chimes to stop.
2. Initiate Programming Mode (Using Working Remote): Using your existing, working remote, press and hold the UNLOCK button for 4 to 10 seconds.
3. Activate Panic and Release: While still holding the UNLOCK button (within the 4 to 10 second window), press the PANIC button on the programmed remote for 1 second. Release both buttons simultaneously. A chime will sound within 3 seconds, indicating that the remote programming mode has been entered.
4. Program New Remote: Within 30 seconds of the chime, take your new remote. Press and release the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously. Immediately after, press and release only the UNLOCK button on the new remote. A chime will sound, confirming the new remote has been programmed.
5. Program Additional Remotes (Optional): If you have more new remotes to program, repeat step 4 for each additional remote. The vehicle's locks will cycle after each successful programming.
6. Exit Programming Mode: Turn the ignition OFF and remove the key.
7. Test Remotes: Test all programmed remotes to ensure full functionality. There may be a brief delay (e.g., 10 seconds) before all remotes become fully active.

If you encounter difficulties, refer to the Troubleshooting section or seek professional assistance.

Operating the Remote

Once programmed, your keyless entry remote provides convenient control over your vehicle's locking system:

• Unlock Button: Press the UNLOCK button once to unlock the driver's door. Press it a second time within five seconds to unlock all other doors.
• Lock Button: Press the LOCK button once to lock all doors.
• Panic Button: Press the PANIC button (red oval button) to activate the vehicle's alarm system and horn. Press it again to deactivate.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

Your remote comes equipped with a new Duracell battery for extended life. When the remote's range decreases or it stops responding, the battery may need replacement. The remote typically uses a standard coin cell battery.

To replace the battery:

1. Carefully open the remote casing. This usually involves prying it open along the seam with a small flat-head screwdriver or a plastic prying tool.
2. Note the orientation of the existing battery.
3. Remove the old battery.
4. Insert the new battery, ensuring correct polarity.
5. Snap the remote casing back together securely.

After battery replacement, the remote should not require re-programming.
