Step-by-Step Programming Instructions:

You cannot program a new key yourself if you don’t have any working keys. Here are your options:

1. Preferred Option: Contact a mobile Automotive Locksmith to come to your vehicle and create a new key. They will utilize specialized equipment to connect to your vehicle’s computer and program the new key.
2. Alternatively, you can tow your vehicle to a Dealership. They will then create a new key for you and use their specialized computer to program it.

If you have one working key and want to program a second one, you’ll need assistance as well:

1. Preferred Option: Contact an Automotive Locksmith or visit a Dealership. They have the necessary equipment to connect to your vehicle’s computer and program the second key.

However, if you already have two working keys and need to program a third one, you can follow these steps yourself:

1. Once the new key has been cut by a Locksmith, follow these instructions:
a. Insert one of the existing working keys into the ignition cylinder.
b. Turn the ignition cylinder to ON (RUN) and then back to OFF.
c. Remove the existing working key and, within five seconds, insert the second working key. Turn it to ON (RUN) and then back to OFF.
d. Remove the second working key and insert the new key within ten seconds. Turn it to ON (RUN) and leave it for one second before turning it back to OFF.
e. Observe the security light, which will illuminate for three seconds, indicating that the new key has been successfully programmed.
f. Once programmed, leave the new key in the ignition cylinder for 10 minutes to complete the programming procedure. Removing the key or attempting to start the vehicle prematurely will require restarting the entire procedure. Enjoy a cup of coffee during this time!
