The control module will also accept and store an owner's alternate entry code. Either code will then operate the system. The system entry code is located on the owner's warranty card, on a label on the inside of the luggage compartment deck lid, on an owner's code card, and the code is printed on the control module. The control module is programmed at the factory with a five digit code. Replacement modules include replacement labels and a new owner's code card. (Scheme 16)
