Step-by-Step Programming Instructions:

For Key or Remote Head Key System:
If you have a Key or Remote Head Key system and want to add a new key, follow these instructions. You will need two previously programmed keys to add a third key. If two are not available, you’ll need to contact a local locksmith.

Please read and understand the entire procedure before you begin.

1. Insert the first previously programmed key into the ignition.
2. Turn the ignition from off to on. Keep the ignition on for at least three seconds, but no more than ten seconds.
3. Turn the ignition off and remove the first key from the ignition.
4. After three seconds but within ten seconds of turning the ignition off, insert the second previously programmed key into the ignition.
5. Turn the ignition from off to on. Keep the ignition on for at least three seconds, but no more than ten seconds.
6. Turn the ignition off and remove the second previously programmed key from the ignition.
7. After three seconds but within twenty seconds of turning the ignition off and removing the previously programmed key, insert the new unprogrammed key into the ignition.
8. Turn the ignition from off to on. Keep the ignition on for at least six seconds.
9. Remove the newly programmed key from the ignition. If the key has been successfully programmed, it will start the vehicle’s engine and operate the remote entry system (if the new key is a remote head key). If the key was not successfully programmed, it will not start your vehicle’s engine and/or will not operate the remote entry features. Wait twenty seconds and you may repeat Steps 1 through 8.

For Smart Key System:
If you have a Smart Key system, follow these instructions to add a new key. You will need two previously programmed keys to add a third key. If you have one working key, you can rent a programmer.

Ensure that the vehicle is off before beginning this procedure. Ensure that all doors are closed before beginning this procedure and that all doors remain closed throughout the procedure.

Perform this procedure exactly as described below, and perform all steps within thirty seconds of starting the sequence. If any steps are performed out of sequence, stop and wait for at least one minute before starting again.

Please read and understand the entire procedure before you begin.

1. Place the new unprogrammed smart key in the pocket inside of the center console.
2. Press the driver or passenger power door unlock control three times.
3. Press and release the brake pedal once.
4. Press the driver or passenger power door lock control three times.
5. Press and release the brake pedal once. The indicator on the Start/Stop button should begin to rapidly flash, indicating that programming mode has been entered and two programmed smart keys have been detected in the vehicle.
6. Within one minute, press the start/stop button. A message will be displayed on the message center indicating that the new smart key was programmed. If four smart keys have already been programmed to your vehicle, you cannot program any more and the message “MAX # OF KEYS LEARNED” will be displayed on the message center.
7. Remove the smart key from the center console pocket and press the unlock button on the newly programmed smart key(s) to exit programming mode.
