  • Step 10: After the third cycle, the dashboard display should read: “READY FOR REMOTE #1.”
  • Step 11: Open the center console, remove the tray and mat, and place the new remote in the transmitter pocket.
  • Step 12: Press the ENGINE START/STOP button once.
  • Step 13: Wait for the system to confirm that the remote has been successfully programmed.
