THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 25 Programming Additional Transmitters Vehicles will be shipped from the assembly plants with two transmitters programmed only for that vehicle. A total of eight transmitters can be programmed for your vehicle. Additional transmitters can be programmed to your vehicle through the use of a currently programmed fob. NOTE: When entering program mode using that fob, all other programmed transmitters will be erased and you will have to reprogram them for your vehicle. Use the following procedure to program additional key fobs if the vehicle is not equipped with Sentry Key: 1. Enter your vehicle and close all doors. 2. Fasten your seat belt (Fastening the seatbelt will cancel any chiming that may confuse you during this programming procedure). 3. Place the key into the ignition. 4. Turn the ignition to the ON position ( Do not start the engine ). 5. Press and hold the UNLOCK button on the key fob. 6. After holding the UNLOCK button for four seconds, also press the PANIC button within 6 seconds. 7. When a single chime is heard release both buttons. The chime is an indication that you have successfully entered program mode. All transmitters that are to be programmed must be done so within 60 seconds of when the chime was heard. 8. Using the fob to be programmed, press and hold both the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons, simultaneously for 2 seconds and then release. 9. Press and release the UNLOCK button a single chime will be heard. 2
