Program a Personal Keyless Entry Keypad Code

NOTE: The system allows 4 personal codes to be programmed using the keyless entry keypad.
NOTE: Multiple personal codes can be programmed in 1 step. When programming multiple codes in 1 step, each code must be programmed by entering each button within 5 seconds of each other. If 5 seconds elapse between any button press, programming mode is exited.
NOTE: If only a single personal code is desired or unable to program multiple codes in one step, each personal code can be programmed individually by repeating Steps 1-5 for each code desired.
  1. Enter the factory set 5-digit keyless entry keypad code.
  2. Within 5 seconds, press the 1/2 button on the keypad to activate the programming mode.
  3. Enter the new personal 5-digit keyless entry keypad code. Each number must be entered within 5 seconds of each other.
  4. After entering the new personal code, press a 6th button to program each new code.
    1. Pressing 1/2 stores the first personal code.
    2. Pressing 3/4 stores the second personal code.
    3. Pressing 5/6, 7/8 or 9/0 stores the third personal code.
