1. Turn the ignition on, then off.
2. Select a Menu. Press and hold the Control button. The number of LED flashes and horn honks indicates
the menu number. 1 LED flash and honk indicates menu 1, 2 LED flashes and honks - menu 2 and 3 LED
flashes and honks for menu 3.
3. When the desired menu LED flashes and honks are observed, release the Control button.
4. Select a Feature. Press and release the Control button the number of times corresponding to the feature
you wish to change. Then press and hold one more time to select the features.
5. Program the Feature. While holding the Control button, you can program the feature using the remote

You want menu 3, menu item 1, option 2.
