Important Notice: The 2006 model supports onboard programming for remote keyless entry fobs through the Driver Information Center (DIC). A maximum of eight remotes can be programmed. Follow the steps below carefully to ensure successful programming.

Programming Procedure:

• Step 1: Insert the Ignition Key Insert the ignition key and turn it to the ON position, but do not start the engine. This enables access to the Driver Information Center display.

A chime will sound once the remote has been successfully programmed. On vehicles equipped with memory seats, the first programmed remote will be linked to Driver 1, and the second to Driver 2.
• Step 5: Program Additional Remotes (Optional) To program additional remotes, repeat Step 4 with each remote. You may program up to eight remotes total. A chime will confirm each remote has been paired successfully.
