Procedures
REPROGRAMMING TRANSMITTERSIf the remote control is lost, damaged, or malfunctioning, it is possible to unlock the vehicle and deactivate the immobilizer using the key.
The process for doing this is detailed and exacting. The instructions for unlocking the vehicle with the key and deactivating the immobilizer must be followed to the letter. Any deviation from the procedure such as exceeding the allowed time interval or omitting a step will result in an abort of the procedure, and the alarm horn will sound along with flashing of the exterior lights.
If this occurs, exit the vehicle and lock the doors using the key. This will stop the alarm and allow the emergency operation to be attempted again.
Use the emergency unlocking procedure only if the remote control is lost, damaged, or malfunctioning. The alarm horn can be switched off for a period of two (2) minutes so that the immobilizer can be deactivated. During this time, the vehicle lights will continue to flash. Deactivation of the immobilizer is then accomplished by entering a four (4) digit code (specific to the vehicle) using the key in the ignition switch. The code number is identical to the last four (4) digits of the immobilizer control unit serial number. Which is located on the vehicle key card.
This key card should be in the owner's possession but not kept in the vehicle.
Procedure
1. The door lock must be unlocked, locked, and unlocked again within five (5) seconds. The alarm horn will sound momentarily. Now the door may be opened without sounding the alarm, but the lights will begin to flash.
2. Within another ten (10) seconds, the ignition switch must be turned to position 2. The immobilizer warning light then comes on.
3. Within another one hundred (100) seconds, the four (4) digit code must be entered using the ignition key. After the code is successfully entered, the immobilizer, central locking system, and alarm will be deactivated.
Note: The alarm horn will sound indicating an abort of the procedure if any of the time intervals are exceeded!
4. Entering the code numbers
a. After the immobilizer warning light has turned off, the ignition must be switched off and on again (key position 2) within five (5) seconds. The immobilizer warning light will come on again. If the above time is exceeded, the procedure will be aborted.
b. The immobilizer light will start to flash after approximately ten (10) seconds. You must start entering the first code number within the next five (5) seconds!
c. Each digit of the code number is entered with the ignition key by switching the ignition off, then on(key position 2). Start with the first digit of the code, and repeat the off/on process the number of times equal to the digit of the code. For Example: 2 = off-on-off-on.
Note: The code digit 0 is equal to ten (10) ignition off/on cycles.
d. After the first digit of the code has been entered, (ignition is back in the on position) wait three (3) seconds and the immobilizer warning light will come on again. Once this happens, begin to enter the second digit of the code. Repeat this process for the remaining digits of the code.
5. The immobilizer will be deactivated if the code has been correctly entered. The central locking system will be in the unlocked position, and the alarm system will be deactivated. After switching off the ignition once, the engine may then be started.
6. Do NOT switch off the ignition.
7. You now have one (1) minute to complete the calibration process. Have on hand the number of remote controls (up to four) you wish to calibrate to the vehicle.
a. Press the button on the remote control for at least one (1) second, and the light emitting diodes on the doors will start to flash. Calibration of the remote is then complete.
b. Set remote controls one after the other until all of the remote controls are recalibrated.
Note: Any remote control already assigned to the vehicle which is not recalibrated during this process will become inoperative.
8. If the remote controls are not calibrated within one (1) minute or the ignition switch is turned off, the calibration process will be ended.
