Important Note: This feature allows you to program new keys to the vehicle if you already have two valid, registered keys. This process is applicable unless the vehicle was sold in Canada.

  • Step 1: Insert the First Programmed Key Insert the first valid key into the ignition and turn it to the “ON” position for 5 seconds.
  • Step 2: Turn the Ignition to the LOCK Position Turn the ignition back to the “LOCK” position and remove the first key.
  • Step 3: Insert the Second Programmed Key Within 30 seconds, insert the second valid key into the ignition and turn it to the “ON” position. Wait for about 10 seconds for the immobilizer indicator on the dashboard to start blinking.
  • Step 4: Program the New Key When the immobilizer indicator starts blinking, turn the second key to the “LOCK” position and remove it. Within 30 seconds, insert a blank key (specially cut for your vehicle) into the ignition and turn it to the “ON” position. Perform this action within 30 seconds of the immobilizer indicator blinking. When the ID code is registered, the immobilizer indicator will turn on for 3 seconds and then turn off. If the indicator goes off during the process, there has been an error.
  • Step 5: Program Additional Keys If you need to program additional keys, repeat the process from Step 1.
