Programming your own entry code
*
[FV15275( X)02/95]
You can program a personal code to unlock your vehicle with
the keypad. This code does not replace the permanent code that
the dealership gave you. Use your personal code in the same
manner as you would your original code.
*
[FV15277( X)09/95]
To program your own code:
*
[FV15279( X)09/95] 1.

4.
Within five seconds of pressing 1/2, enter your personal
code, pressing each digit within five seconds of the previous
digit.
*
[FV15287( X)09/95]
The keyless entry system registers this second code. To open
your vehicle, you can now use either code. The module
remembers only one personal code at a time. Entering a
second personal code will erase the first, replacing it with
the new second one.
*
[FV15289( X)09/95]
To erase your personal code:
*
[FV15291( X)09/95] 1.
Enter the original permanent code.
*
[FV15293( X)09/95] 2.
Press 1/2 within five seconds of Step 1.
*
[FV15295( X)09/95] 3.
Wait six seconds.
*
[FV15297( X)09/95]
The keyless entry system automatically erases your personal
code. The system will now only respond to the permanent
code.
*
[FV15299( X)09/95]
Do not set a code that presents the numbers in sequential order,
such as 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 9/0. Studies show that people who
idly press the buttons usually press a sequential pattern. Also,
do not select a code that uses the same button five times.
Thieves can easily figure out these types of codes.
