Matching Transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle

Each RKE transmitter is coded to prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle. If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be purchased through your dealer/retailer. All transmitters need to be re-coded to match the new transmitter. The lost transmitter will no longer work after the new transmitters are re-coded. Each vehicle can have a maximum of four transmitters matched to it.

Battery Replacement

Replace the battery if the KEY FOB # BATTERY LOW message displays in the DIC. See "KEY FOB # BATTERY LOW" under DIC Warnings and Messages for additional information.

Notice: When replacing the battery, do not touch any of the circuitry on the transmitter. Static from your body could damage the transmitter.

To replace the battery in the RKE transmitter do the following:

  1. Separate the halves of the transmitter with a flat, thin object inserted into the slot between the covers of the transmitter housing.
  2. Remove the old battery. Do not use a metal object.
  3. Insert the new battery. Replace with a CR2032 or equivalent battery.
  4. Put the transmitter back together tightly.
