Claim Information
Programming Remote Keyless Entry Transmitters Using the Driver Information Center (DIC)
All of the transmitters that are to be recognized by the remote control door lock receiver (RCDLR) must be programmed at the same time, including the one programmed at the dealership. Those transmitters not programmed at the same time will not function properly. Follow the procedure below for programming. This procedure is also published in the Owner Manual.
RELEARN REMOTE KEY
The Driver Information Center (DIC) display allows you to match the remote keyless entry transmitter to your vehicle. To match a remote keyless entry transmitter to your vehicle do the following:
1. Press the vehicle information button until RELEARN REMOTE KEY displays.
2. Press the set/reset button.
3. Press and hold the lock and unlock buttons on the first transmitter at the same time for approximately 15 seconds.
On vehicles with memory recall seats, the first transmitter learned will match driver 1 and the second will match driver 2.
4. To match additional transmitters at this time, repeat step 3 with each new transmitter. Each vehicle can have a maximum of eight transmitters matched to it.
5. To exit the programming mode, you must cycle the key to the OFF/LOCK position.
