To program transmitter(s):
1. Open the drivers door.
2. Turn the vehicle ignition to the ON position.
3. Press and hold the Emergency Override / Programming Button in.
*After approx.. 15 seconds,the siren will chirp three times. This indicates
that the system is in the Transmitter Programming Mode.
4. Release the Emergency Override / Programming Button. Wait 5 seconds.
5. Press ARM (button 1) on the new transmitter. The siren should chirp once.
6. Press Trunk/Option on the new Transmitter. The siren should chirp twice.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for additional transmitters.
8. Exit the Transmitter Programming Mode by turning the vehicle ignition
off. Test all remote transmitters programmed to the system to ensure that
they work properly.

TO DELETE A LOST OR STOLEN TRANSMITTER:
1. Follow steps 1-4 as described above.
2. Re-program the remaining transmitters as described in steps 5 and 6.
*If there is only one remaining transmitter, perform steps 5 and 6 FOUR
