2. Switch the ignition from off to on. Keep it on for at least three seconds, but no more than ten seconds.
3. Switch the ignition off and remove the first programmed key.
4. After three seconds but within ten seconds of switching the ignition off, insert the second previously programmed key into the ignition.
5. Switch the ignition from off to on. Keep it on for at least three seconds, but no more than ten seconds.
