Note
: When using or programming your system you must make each keystroke within 5 seconds of the previous keystroke or
the system will timeout and reset to normal operation. 2 Rapid Beeps signal system reset. If the system resets before you
have completed changing the Master User Code, you must start over by pressing the System Programming Switch. 1 Long
Beep signals an error has been made during the
programming sequence. Don't worry. Start over by pressing the System Programming Switch.

What is my Master User Code?
Code Padding
If you feel you are being observed when you enter your code on the keypad you can "pad" your code by entering several
random digits before you enter your actual code and still have the door unlock. For instance, if your code is 1 3 9 1 you can
enter 5 7 1 3 9 1 and the door will unlock. Each time you press a key successfully the keypad beeps and blinks. If you
accidentally make an error during code entry, simply start over with the correct code.
What Keypad code combinations are restricted
Codes 559, 557, and 555 are pre-assigned as Lock Codes. There is no harm if everybody knows the Lock Code. However,
you can't change a Lock Code so you can't use 559, 557, or 555 as the Master User Code or as an Optional User Code.
Furthermore, you may not program a new Master User Code or Optional User Code that starts with the digits 5 or 6 (Key 5/6).
If you want a 5 or 6 at the beginning of your code start with 05 or 06. Example: 05 05 68 (a birth date).
Caution:
Never use the same sequence of digits of your Master User Code as the first part of an Optional User Code. If you
do, you will have to press the System Programming Switch and select a new Master User Code.
What Keypad code combinations are not recommended
- Using your ATM PIN number or computer passcodes
- Short codes using the same digit - example: 111
- Simple codes - example: 123 or 911
- The numbers on your car’s license plate
How to add Optional Keypad User Codes and what they are for
You can add up to 5 Optional User Codes in your Keyless Entry Keypad System if you wish. What are they for? You might
want to have an Optional User Code to give to a family member or a friend if you need to lend them your vehicle temporarily.
You can change it or delete it later. You might want another Optional User Code to give to a valet parking attendant or to a
smog checker or service mechanic at the dealership. There might be other reasons you need to give someone else access to
your vehicle when you are away. Remember, don't give out your Personal Master User Code.
Refer to the AKE-5 User Code
Guide Form Included with your system for User Code programming steps
.
How to enter a Keypad Lock Code
Enter 559, 557, or 555 Lock Codes. See the Convenience Code Mode section at the end of this Guide to understand why you
might want to use Lock Code 555 instead of Lock Code 559 or 557.
4. Using Keyfobs
Press the upper left Key to Lock the vehicle. Press the upper right Key to unlock the vehicle. Press the lower left or lower right
center Key to activate the Auxiliary Output, to unlock the trunk or activate another accessory if connected by the installer.
The Keyfob has three small green LEDs that illuminate when a Key is pressed to indicate a successful Key press and a good
battery. To renew the keyfob battery, take the keyfob to a watch store or carefully open it by removing the screws on the back
and replacing the battery.
How to Train the system to accept new Keyfobs
Each AKE-5 with Remote Keyless comes with two 4-Key keyfobs. When shipped from the Factory the system will not
recognize new keyfobs. For system security the system must be trained to learn the identity codes of new keyfobs. In most
cases the installer will already have trained your keyfobs. Try them first before performing the training process listed below. If
you have lost a keyfob and are replacing it with a new one, you will have to train the system to recognize the new keyfobs, or
contact the system installer for a service call.
-
Turn the key to
ON
position.
-
Press the valet button for three seconds.
-
Parking lights (if connected by installer) will flash once to indicate code learning mode.
-
Press any button in order to learn the desired remote.
-
Parking lights (if connected by installer) and LED will flash once for confirmation, after each Keyfob is learned.
-
Up to 4 Keyfobs can be learned at this time.
-
Turn ignition OFF or Wait for 5 seconds and system will exit code learning.
