Features remember. This is the number that you enter on the keypad to unlock the door. The personal code can be changed as often as you like. The permanent code is a number that is assigned to your vehicle and can be used to program your personal code into the system. For your convenience, one additional piece of tape with the permanent code has been included in the glove box. Place this additional piece of tape in a safe location where you can refer to it when necessary. Do not put it in any location that is accessible to unauthorized persons, since this would allow them entrance to your vehicle. Programming your Personal Code A personal code does not replace the permanent code that the dealership gave you. The original dealer code will always work in addition to your personal code. To program your own code: 1. Select five digits for your personal code. 2. Enter the permanent code. 3. Within five seconds, press the 1/2 button. 4. Within five seconds of pressing the 1/2 button, enter your personal code. Press each digit within five seconds of the previous digit. 5. The keyless 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 and replace it with the new code. 6. After you have entered your personal code, the driver's door will unlock. 149
