Note:  

The unit will stay in programming mode until the hood pin-switch or the brake pedal is 

pressed again. Therefore, take your time to make the proper selection. Pressing the brake pedal 
will bring you back to the programming menu, where you can select another mode.

 

Each mode has functions for which options must be selected. Once you have selected Mode 1, 
Mode 2, or Mode 3, the system automatically moves to function one. You must then select the 
desired option for each function. Once you have selected an option, you will move to the next 
function, and so on. 

To select one of four options, press the appropriate button on the transmitter: 

 

LOCK

 button  

 

= Option 1 

 

UNLOCK

 button   

= Option 2 

 

TRUNK

 button 

 

= Option 3 

 

START/STOP

 button 

= Option 4 

Table 4 

Once an option has been selected, the parking lights will flash 1, 2, 3, or 4 times, 

depending on the option that has been selected.
