Matching Transmitter(s)To Your Vehicle Each key chain transmitter is coded to prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle. If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring any remaining transmitters with you when you go to your dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters must also be matched. Once the new transmitter is coded, the lost transmitterwill not unlock your vehicle. Each vehicle can have only two transmitters matched to it. See your dealer to match transmitters to another vehicle. To open the housing: Battery Replacement Under normal use, the batteries in your key chain transmitter should last about two years.
