For Vehicles with a Standard Key and Remote Fob (Non-Smart Key System)

Important Note: These instructions apply to models equipped with a traditional key ignition and separate remote fob. Follow the steps carefully to enter programming mode and synchronize the remote(s).

Step-by-Step Programming Procedure:

  • Step 1: Remove the key from the ignition.
  • Step 2: Ensure all doors are fully closed.
  • Step 3: Open the driver’s door and leave it open throughout the procedure.
  • Step 4: Insert the key into the ignition, turn it to the ON position (do not start the engine), then turn it OFF and remove the key—all within 10 seconds.
  • Step 5: Within 20 seconds, close and open the driver’s door three times quickly.
  • Step 6: Reinsert the key, turn it to the ON position, then turn it OFF and remove it—again within 10 seconds.
  • Step 7: The door locks should automatically cycle (lock and unlock), indicating that the system has entered programming mode.
  • Step 8: Press the UNLOCK button on the remote fob. The locks should cycle again to confirm that the remote has been successfully programmed.
  • Step 9: Repeat Step 8 for each additional remote you wish to program.
  • Step 10: Exit the vehicle, close all doors, and test each remote to verify full functionality.
