It's cool until as your mowing the grass or walking out to get the mail the doors unlock, lock,,, unlock ,,,lock ,,,unlock, lock,,, unlock ,,,lock,,unlock, lock,,, unlock ,,,lock,,,,unlock, lock,,, unlock ,,,lock It caused some peoples battery to run down!!
I just kept mine on passive off!
Your FOB should have a slide switch below the buttons. That is the passive on & off switch.

Oh, it's worse than that. I have my keys on the kitchen counter. Just on the other side of the wall is the garage. When anyone would walk BETWEEN my keys and the car, it'd break the signal and start over with the lock/unlock cycle. Plus mine blows the horn when it locks so the dogs thought it was great fun. Gave them an excuse to bark all day.

Incase anybody is looking for this info

To train FOB's...It took me a little while to find this so I figured I'd post it real quick...

Turn igntion to on, don't start engine. Clear any messages on display. Hit options until the screen is blank then hold reset about 5 seconds and release. That'll get you into the key fob and TPS learn menu's. Reset button gets you into a menu, options switches the menu. The rest of the instructions are displayed on the screen.
