Follow these instructions to program the key portion of the flip key. Note that the key blade must be cut to operate the ignition. Timing is crucial; please read through the entire procedure before attempting:

1. Insert one of the programmed transponder keys and turn the ignition to ON, leaving it on for at least one second (wait until the red key symbol in the instrument cluster goes out), then remove the key from the ignition.
2. Within 5 seconds, insert the second programmed key and turn the ignition to ON for at least one second but no more than 5 seconds, then remove the second key.
3. Within 10 seconds, insert the new key into the ignition and turn it to ON. If successful, the red key symbol will illuminate and then go out in about 1 second. If unsuccessful, the red key symbol will flash repeatedly, indicating an invalid key. Remove the key, wait one minute, and try again.
