2-4 Keys, Doors, and Windows Programming Transmitters to the Vehicle Only RKE transmitters programmed to this vehicle will work. If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be purchased and programmed through your dealer.

Any lost or stolen transmitters will no longer work once the new transmitter is programmed. See your dealer to have new transmitters programmed. Programming with a Recognized Transmitter To program a new key: 1. Insert the original, already programmed key in the ignition and turn to the key to the ON/ RUN position. 2. Turn the key to LOCK/OFF, and remove the key. 3. Insert the new key to be programmed and turn it to the ON/RUN position within five seconds. The security light will turn off once the key has been programmed. 4. Repeat Steps 1-3 if additional keys are to be programmed. If a key is lost or damaged, see your dealer to have a new key made. Programming without a Recognized Transmitter Program a new key to the vehicle when a recognized key is not available. Canadian regulations require that owners see their dealer.
