Personal Identity Keys

Qon the RKE transmitter is pressed. For information on storing climate control settings, radio settings and trip computer settings, see “Personal Identity Memories” under Radio(s) on page 6-3, “Ignition Keys” under Climate Control System on page 7-1and “Trip Computer” under DIC Vehicle Customization on page 4-32.

Matching Transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle

Each RKE transmitter is coded to prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle. If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be purchased through your dealer/retailer. Bring

any additional transmitters so they can also be re-coded to match the new transmitter. Once your dealer/retailer has coded the new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your vehicle.

Battery Replacement

The RKE transmitter has a lithium battery which should last about three years.

Have the battery replaced if the Replace Battery in Remote

Key message displays in the DIC or if the transmitter will not work at the normal range in any location. See “Replace Battery in Remote Key” under DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4-27.

The battery is not rechargeable. See your dealer/retailer to replace the battery.
