Step-by-Step Programming Instructions:

If you find yourself without any working keys, you’ll need to enlist the help of a locksmith to cut a new transponder key for you. Once you have the new key, you can follow these steps to program it:

1. Insert the new key into the ignition and turn it to the ON position (as far as you can go without starting the engine). The security light on the dashboard will flash for fifteen minutes.

2. After the security light stops flashing, turn the ignition OFF, then back to the ON position. The security light will flash for another fifteen minutes.

3. Again, when the security light stops flashing, repeat the process by turning the ignition OFF, then back to the ON position. The security light will flash for another fifteen minutes.

4. After the security light stops flashing for the third time, turn the key to the OFF position. Then, turn the key back to the ON position. The security light should stop flashing, indicating that the new key has been successfully programmed.

5. Finally, start the vehicle to test the newly programmed key.

If you already have one working key and want to program a second one yourself, you can follow these simpler steps:

1. Insert the existing working key into the ignition and turn it to the ON position, then back to the OFF position.

2. Within five seconds, insert the new key into the ignition and turn it to the ON position. The security light will light up for two seconds to indicate successful programming. Then, turn the key to the OFF position.

3. Start the vehicle to test the new key.

Remember, for both scenarios, it’s crucial to have the transponder key cut by a locksmith before attempting to program it yourself.
