2. Gently pry the battery out of the transmitter. Do not
use the metal flanges to “pop out” the battery.
3. Replace the battery.
4. Reassemble the transmitter. Make sure the halves are
snapped together tightly so water will not get in.
5. Check the transmitter operation. If needed, follow
the instructions on resynchronizing your
remote transmitter.
Resynchronization
Your remote lock control system uses a continually
changing code for increased security. Normally, the
receiver in your vehicle will keep track of this
changing code.
D Loss of synchronization will occur if the transmitter
is activated more than 256 times while out of range
of the vehicle.
D Loss of synchronization will occur after the battery
replacement if the transmitter is immediately
activated more than 16 times while out of range of
the vehicle.
If your remote lock control transmitter has stopped working,
you may need to resynchronize the transmitter to the vehicle
receiver. To do this, press the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons
together and hold for at least seven seconds or until the horn
sounds if equipped with the content theft
-
deterrent system.
Check the transmitter operation.
