KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
With the keyless entry keypad, you
can:
• lock or unlock the vehicle doors
and liftgate without using the key
• open the liftgate
• 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
• or at your dealer
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
three of the same number or
presents them in sequential order.
Thieves can easily figure out these
types of codes.
Your personal code does not replace
the permanent code that the
dealership gave you. You can use
