KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM
With the keyless entry
keypad, you can:
lock or unlock the
vehicle doors and liftgate (wagons) without using
the key.
arm and disarm the perimeter alarm system
(if equipped)
See also Remote entry system and Perimeter
alarm system in this chapter for more information.
Your vehicle has a factory-set 5–digit code that
operates the keyless entry system. You can also
program your own 5–digit personal entry code.
The factory-set code is located:
on the owner’s wallet card in the glove
compartment
taped to the computer module
When pressing the controls on the keyless entry
keypad, press the middle of the controls to ensure a
good activation.
Programming your own personal entry code
1. Enter the factory-set code (keypad will illuminate
when pressed).
2. Press the 1/2 control
within five seconds of
step 1.
3. Enter your personal
5 digit code. Enter
each digit within five
seconds of the previous one.
Do not set a code that includes five of the same
number or presents them in sequential order.
Thieves can easily figure out these types of codes.
