How do you change the remote from two-step unlocking to one-step unlocking?
YourMechanic
While your remote is set by default for two-step unlocking, you can change that to one-step unlocking if you prefer. This allows you to unlock all the doors on your car with just one button press. Here’s how to change it:
- Press both the lock and Unlock buttons on the remote at the same time.
- Hold them for about four seconds.
- Watch for the lights to flash twice.
- Check that the remote now offers one-step locking.
Tip
- To change back to two-step unlocking, just repeat the steps above.
