YOUR"CODE HOPPING"TRANSMITTERS
Thetransmittersincluded withyour newremote startsystem
use the most advanced and secure form of radio frequency
transmissionavailable onanycurrent automotiveremotesys-
tem.Some oftoday’s sophisticatedauto thievesuseadevice
known as a code grabber, which will receive and store the
signal from your keychain transmitter, and re-transmit at a
later time to unlock your system.
Yourcode hoppingtransmitters willchange theirsignal every
time the button is pressed, so when a thief grabs then re-transmits your
signal, the system will not respond.
If your transmitter button is pressed more than fifty times while it is out of
range of the vehicle (children playing with your keys), the transmitter will
not operate when you return to the vehicle, and will need to be re-aligned
to the receiver. To do this, simply press the lock/unlock button two times
within a one second time period. The system will now respond to that
transmitter each time a button is pressed.
