Programming a Personal Entry Code

NOTE: The system allows 4 personal codes to be programmed using the keyless entry keypad.
NOTE: Multiple personal codes can be programmed in a single step. When programming multiple codes in a single 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  15 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 5-digit keyless entry keypad code. Each number must be entered within 5 seconds of each other.
  4. NOTE: For vehicles equipped with memory seats, the factory-set code cannot be associated with a memory setting.

    To associate the entry code with a new memory setting, enter a sixth digit to indicate which driver should be set in a memory recalled by the personal entry code:

    • Pressing 1/2 stores the first personal code (and recalls Driver 1 settings if equipped with memory seats).
    • Pressing 3/4 stores the second personal code (and recalls Driver 2 settings if equipped with memory seats).
    • Pressing 5/6 stores the third personal code (does not recall a memory setting if equipped with memory seats).
    • Pressing other keypad buttons stores the fourth personal code (does not recall a memory setting if equipped with memory seats).
  5. The doors lock and unlock to confirm the new code is programmed.
