Typically, programming involves a sequence of steps using the vehicle's ignition and the remote's buttons. Refer to your PRO-T13 system's installation or user manual for detailed programming procedures.

The 2WT13R-SF remote provides intuitive control over your vehicle's functions. The exact functions and button presses may vary slightly based on your PRO-T13 system's configuration.

Maintenance
Battery Replacement:

- Carefully open the compartment using a small flat-head screwdriver or a coin.
- Note the orientation of the old battery and remove it.
- Insert a new battery (typically a CR2032 coin cell, but verify with your PRO-T13 manual or the remote's markings) with the positive (+) side facing up.
- Close the battery compartment securely.

- Avoid exposing the remote to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or excessive moisture.
