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 the 1
(off) position to the 3 (on)
position. Keep the ignition in
the 3 (on) position for at least
three seconds, but no more than
10 seconds.
3. Turn the ignition to the 1 (off) position and remove the first
coded
key
from the ignition.
4. After three seconds but within 10 seconds of turning the ignition to
the 1 (off) position, insert the second previously
coded key
into the
ignition.
5. Turn the ignition from the 1 (off) position to the 3 (on) position.
Keep the ignition in the 3 (on) position for at least three seconds,
but no more than 10 seconds.
6. Turn the ignition to the 1 (off) position and remove the second
previously programmed
coded key
from the ignition.
7. After three seconds but within 20 seconds of turning the ignition to
the 1 (off) position and removing the previously programmed
coded
key,
insert the new unprogrammed key (new key/valet key) into the
ignition.
8. Turn the ignition from the 1 (off) position to the 3 (on) position.
Keep the ignition in the 3 (on) position 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). The theft indicator light will illuminate
for three seconds and then go out to indicate successful programming.
If the key was not successfully programmed, it will not start your
vehicle’s engine and/or will not operate the remote entry features. The
theft indicator light may flash on and off. 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.
