If two previously programmed coded keys are not available, you must
take your vehicle to your authorized dealer to have the spare key(s)
programmed.
Please read and understand the entire procedure before you begin.
1. Insert the first previously programmed
coded key
into the ignition.
2. Turn the ignition from off to on. Keep the ignition on for at least three
seconds, but no more than 10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition off and remove the first
coded key
from the
ignition.
4. After three seconds but within ten seconds of turning the ignition off,
insert the second previously
coded key
into the ignition.
5. Turn the ignition from off to on. Keep the ignition on for at least three
seconds, but no more than 10 seconds.
6. Turn the ignition off and remove the second previously programmed
coded key
from the ignition.
7. After three seconds but within 20 seconds of turning the ignition off
and removing the previously programmed
coded key,
insert the new
unprogrammed key (new key/valet key) into the ignition.
8. Turn the ignition from off to on. Keep the ignition on for at least six
seconds.
9. Remove the newly programmed
coded key
from the ignition.
If the key has been successfully programmed it will start the vehicle’s
engine and will operate the remote entry system (if the new key is an
integrated keyhead transmitter).
If the key was not successfully programmed, it will not start your
vehicle’s engine and/or will not operate the remote entry features. Wait
20 seconds and you may repeat Steps 1 through 8. If failure repeats,
bring your vehicle to your authorized dealer to have the new key(s)
programmed.
To program additional new unprogrammed key(s), wait 20 seconds and
then repeat this procedure from Step 1.
