  1. Turn the ignition to the OFF position.
  2. Close all the doors, the liftgate and the liftgate glass.
  3. Enter the 5-digit permanent entry code on the keyless entry keypad.
  4. Within 5 seconds of entering the code, press and hold the 3/4 button on the keypad. While holding the 3/4 button, press the 7/8 button.
