Step-by-Step Programming Instructions:

To program a new RKE (Remote Keyless Entry) transmitter to the vehicle when there are two recognized RKE transmitters, follow these steps:

1. Ensure the vehicle is turned off, and have all RKE transmitters, both currently recognized and new, with you.
2. Place the recognized RKE transmitters into the storage bin with the lock icon.
3. Remove the key lock cylinder cap.
4. Insert the vehicle key of the new RKE transmitter into the key lock cylinder located on the outside of the driver door. Turn the key counterclockwise to the unlock position five times within 10 seconds. The DIC (Driver Information Center) displays “READY FOR REMOTE #3, 4 or 5.”
5. Place the new RKE transmitter into the storage bin with the buttons facing up.
6. Press the ENGINE START/STOP button. When the RKE transmitter is learned, the DIC will indicate that it’s ready to program the next transmitter.
7. Remove the RKE transmitter from the storage bin and press UNLOCK. To program additional RKE transmitters, repeat Steps 3–5. When all additional RKE transmitters are programmed, press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for 12 seconds to exit programming mode.
8. Put the key back into the transmitter.

Programming without a Recognized Transmitter:

If there are no currently recognized RKE transmitters available, follow this procedure to program up to eight RKE transmitters. This procedure will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. Ensure the vehicle is turned off, and have all the RKE transmitters you wish to program with you.

1. Remove the key lock cylinder cap from the driver’s door.
2. Insert the vehicle key of the RKE transmitter into the key lock cylinder located on the outside of the driver door. Turn the key counterclockwise to the unlock position five times within 10 seconds. The DIC displays “REMOTE LEARN PENDING, PLEASE WAIT.”
3. Wait for 10 minutes until the DIC displays “PRESS ENGINE START BUTTON TO LEARN” and then press ENGINE START/STOP. The DIC will again display “REMOTE LEARN PENDING, PLEASE WAIT.”
4. Repeat Step 2 two additional times. After the third time, all previously known RKE transmitters will no longer work with the vehicle. Remaining RKE transmitters can be relearned during the next steps. The DIC should now display “READY FOR REMOTE #1.”
5. Place the new RKE transmitter into the storage bin with the buttons facing up.
6. Press ENGINE START/STOP. When the RKE transmitter is learned, the DIC will show that it’s ready to program the next transmitter.
7. Remove the RKE transmitter from the storage bin and press UNLOCK. To program additional RKE transmitters, repeat Steps 4–6. When all additional RKE transmitters are programmed, press and hold ENGINE START/STOP for 12 seconds to exit programming mode.
8. Put the key back into the transmitter.
9. Replace the key lock cylinder cap.
