Programming Keys to the
Vehicle
Only RKE keys programmed to the
vehicle will work. If a key is lost or
stolen, a replacement can be
purchased and programmed through
your dealer. The vehicle can be
reprogrammed so that lost or stolen
keys no longer work. Any remaining
keys will need to be reprogrammed.
Each vehicle can have up to eight
keys matched to it.
Programming with Two
Recognized Keys (Key
Vehicles Only)
To program a new key:
1. Insert the original, already
programmed key in the ignition
and turn the key to the ON/
RUN position.
2. Turn the key to LOCK/OFF,
and remove the key.
3. Quickly, within five seconds,
insert the second original
already programmed key in the
ignition and turn it to the ON/
RUN position.
4. Turn the key to LOCK/OFF,
and remove the key.
5. Insert the new key to be
programmed and turn it to the
ON/RUN position.
The security light will turn off
once the key has been
programmed.
6. Repeat Steps 1 5 if additional
keys are to be programmed.
If a key is lost or damaged, see your
dealer to have a new key made.
Programming without a
Recognized Key (Key
Vehicles Only)
Program a new key to the vehicle
when a recognized key is not
available. Canadian regulations
require that owners see their dealer.
If two currently recognized keys are
not available, follow this procedure
to program the first key.
This procedure will take
approximately 30 minutes to
complete for the first key. The
Keys, Doors, and Windows
vehicle must be off and all of the
keys you wish to program must be
with you.
1. Insert the new vehicle key into
the ignition.
2. Turn to ON/RUN. The security
light will come on.
3. Wait 10 minutes until the
security light turns off.
4. Turn the ignition to LOCK/OFF.
5. Repeat Steps 2 4 two more
times. After the third time, turn
to ON/RUN; the key is learned
and all previously known keys
will no longer work with the
vehicle.
6. To learn a second key, turn to
OFF, insert the second key to
be learned, and turn to
ON/RUN.
After two keys are learned, the
remaining keys can be learned by
following the procedure in
Programming with Two Recognized
Keys (Key Vehicles Only).
