Chevrolet Malibu 2007 Owner's Manual page 116

When trying to start the vehicle if the engine does
not start and the security light comes on, the
key may have a damaged transponder. Turn the
ignition off and try again.
If the engine still does not start, and the key
appears to be undamaged, try another ignition
key. At this time, you may also want to check the
fuse, see Fuses on page 446. If the engine still
does not start with the other key, your vehicle
needs service. If your vehicle does start, the
first key may be faulty. See your dealer who
can service the PASS-Key
key made. In an emergency, contact Chevrolet
Roadside Assistance. See Roadside Assistance
Program on page 481 for more information.
It is possible for the PASS-Key
to "learn" the transponder value of a new
or replacement key. Up to 10 additional keys may
be programmed for the vehicle. The following
procedure is for programming additional keys only.
If all the currently programmed keys are lost or
do not operate, you must see your dealer or
a locksmith who can service PASS-Key
have keys made and programmed to the system.

To program the new key do the following:
1. Verify that the new key has "+" stamped on it.
2. Insert the already programmed key in the
ignition and start the engine. If the engine
will not start, see your dealer for service.
3. After the engine has started, turn the key to
off, and remove the key.
4. Insert the key to be programmed and turn
it to on within five seconds of removing the
original key.
5. The security light will turn off once the key
has been programmed. It may not be
apparent that the security light went on due to
how quickly the key is programmed.
6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 if additional keys
are to be programmed.
