REPLACING THE KEY
Upon purchase, each vehicle should
have two master keys and an
aluminum tag with a key-code
imprinted on it.
To generate a fully functional
replacement key (one that will both
open the doors and start the engine),
one of the master keys is required. To
make a key that will open the door for
retrieval of items locked inside the
vehicle, the aluminum key-code tag can
be used. If a master key or the
aluminum key-code tag is not available,
an Authorized Servicing Dealership or
certain registered locksmiths can
obtain the key code from a
restricted-access database. These
businesses can also access a service
utility to reprogram the immobilizer if
all registered master keys have been
lost. If an Authorized Servicing
Dealership is not available, please refer
to www.aloa.org to find a
bonded/registered locksmith who
performs high security key service.
THE IMMOBILIZER KEY
KEEPING THE KEY SAFE
Replacing an immobilizer key may be
costly. It is advisable to keep a spare
master key and the aluminum key-code
tag in a safe place. If you record the
key-code in more than one place, do
not record it in a way that can be easily
identified and associated with the
vehicle. It is wise to keep a copy of the
key-code outside of the vehicle.
If the vehicle was delivered with less
than two keys and the aluminum
key-code tag, consider having an
Authorized Servicing Dealership or a
qualified independent automotive
locksmith make a duplicate key before
you need it.
