Lock Cylinder Coding





IMPORTANT:
When the tumblers are removed from the lock cylinder, tumbler springs may fall out.

1. Push tumblers out of lock cylinder using a thin-bladed screwdriver.

2. For door and rear compartment or liftgate locks, if necessary, remove side-bar assembly by pushing it inward while tapping the cylinder, causing it to fall out.





3. Select the correct tumblers for the desired code by the number stamped on the tumbler. (Illustration shows a number 4 tumbler.)

^ Door, rear compartment and liftgate lock cylinders reads key cut positions 5 through 10.

^ Ignition lock cylinder reads key cut positions 2 through 10.

IMPORTANT:
Make sure side-bar (if used) and tumbler springs are in place before installing tumblers.





4. Install tumblers by applying downward pressure until they lock into position.

5. To check coding of the cylinder, insert key. If coding is correct, tumblers and side-bar will be flush with cylinder with key inserted.

6. For assembly, oil lock set with a light oil or graphite lubricant.
