Follow the appropriate section below based on whether you have a recognized smart key, no working remotes, or a separate key and remote. Procedure 1: Programming with One Recognized Smart Key Use this method when you have one working remote and wish to add a new one. <ul> <li>Step 1: Remove the mechanical key from the working smart key. </li> <li>Step 2: Place the recognized remote in the cupholder or on the passenger seat. </li> <li>Step 3: Insert the mechanical key into the driver’s door lock cylinder and turn it counterclockwise to the unlock position five times within 10 seconds. – The Driver Information Center (DIC) will display: “READY FOR REMOTE #2, 3, 4, ETC.” </li> <li>Step 4: Place the new remote into the remote pocket. – Open the center console and lift the storage tray.

Remote programming must be performed using diagnostic tools by a qualified technician. <ul> <li>Step 1: Contact an automotive professional with the necessary equipment and experience in remote fob programming. </li> <li>Step 2: If the vehicle is drivable, consider taking it directly to the technician’s location to minimize service costs. </li> <li>Step 3: The technician will connect diagnostic equipment to the vehicle’s onboard system and complete the remote fob programming process.</li> </ul>
