<h1>2019 GMC Terrain — Keyless Entry Remote Fob Programming (Smart Key)</h1> <p><font size="3">The 2019 GMC Terrain allows you to program new keyless entry remote fobs using either of the following procedures, depending on whether or not you have recognized transmitters. Please follow the instructions for your situation.</font></p> <p><font size="3"><b> If You Have Two Recognized Transmitters</b> </font></p> <p><font size="3">If two valid remotes are available, you can add an additional transmitter using the steps below: </font></p> <ul> <li><font size="3">Step 1: Remove the cap covering the key lock cylinder on the driver’s door handle. Place both recognized transmitters inside the front cup holder. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 2: Insert the mechanical key from a transmitter into the driver door lock. Turn the key counterclockwise to the unlock position five times within 10 seconds. The Driver Information Center (DIC) will display: "READY FOR REMOTE #2, 3, 4, ETC." </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 3: Place the new, unprogrammed transmitter into the cup holder. </font></li> <li><font size="3">Step 4: Press the ENGINE START/STOP button.

This procedure takes about 30 minutes and must be completed without interruption. </font></p> <p><font size="3"><b>Note:</b> This method is not available for vehicles sold in Canada. </font></p> <ul> <li><font size="3">Step 1: Remove the cap from the key lock cylinder on the driver’s door.
