REPLACING THE KEY
Upon purchase, each vehicle should
have a master key, one valet key and an
aluminum tag with a key-code
imprinted on it.
To generate a fully functional
replacement key (one that will both
open the doors and start the engine), a
master key is required. To make a key
that will open the door for retrieval of
items locked inside the vehicle, the
valet key or aluminum key-code tag can
be used. If the master key or the
aluminum key-code tag is not available,
an Authorized Servicing Dealership or
certain registered locksmiths can
obtain the key code from a
restricted-access database. These
businesses can also access a service
utility to reprogram the immobilizer if
all registered keys have been lost. If an
Authorized Servicing Dealership is not
available, please refer to
www.aloa.org
to find a bonded/registered locksmith
who performs high security key service.
KEEPING THE KEY SAFE
Replacing an immobilizer key may be
costly. It is advisable to keep the valet
key and the aluminum key-code tag in
a safe place. If you record the key-code
in more than one place, do not record it
in a way that can be easily identified
and associated with the vehicle. For
example, don’t leave the code
somewhere that can be accessed by a
valet. It is wise to keep a copy of the
key-code outside of the vehicle.
If the vehicle was delivered with less
than the two keys and the aluminum
key-code tag, consider having an
Authorized Servicing Dealership or a
qualified independent automotive
locksmith make a duplicate key before
you need it.
