Resynchronization Your remote keyless entry system uses a continually changing code for increased security. Normally, the receiver in your vehicle will keep track of this changing code. Overhead Console Switchbank 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. This switchbank is located in the overhead console. The switches that you may find in this switchbank are the interior lights override, power sliding door override, power sliding door and the power rear quarter windows. If your vehicle does not have some of the options controlled by these switches, there will be a blank button in its place. For more information, please see each of these features in the Index. If your remote keyless entry 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. Switchbanks There are two sets of switchbanks located in the front of the vehicle. The switches will vary with the options that are on your vehicle. It is useful to become familiar with them since they are used frequently while operating the vehicle. 2-12
