Controls and features Procedure to program spare SecuriLockி keys to your vehicle New SecuriLock௢ keys must have the correct mechanical key cut for your vehicle. Conventional (non-SecuriLock௢) keys cannot be programmed to your vehicle. The correct type of SecuriLock௢ key for your vehicle is identifiable by the alphanumeric characters stamped on the key blade. The SecuriLock௢ key identification for your vehicle is: one letter of the English alphabet followed by the number "1" (for example, "S1" or "I1" on the key blade indicate you have the correct type of SecuriLock௢ key). If the SecuriLock௢ key does not have this information stamped on the key blade, the key will not operate your vehicle. You will need to have two previously programmed SecuriLock௢ keys and the new unprogrammed SecuriLock௢ key readily accessible for timely implementation of each step in the procedure. Please read and understand the entire procedure before you begin. 1. Insert the first previously programmed SecuriLock௢ key into the ignition and turn the ignition from OFF to RUN (maintain ignition in RUN for at least one second). 2. Turn ignition to OFF and remove the first SecuriLock௢ key from the ignition. 3. Within five seconds of turning the ignition to OFF, insert the second previously programmed SecuriLock௢ key into the ignition and turn the ignition from OFF to RUN (maintain ignition in RUN for at least one second but no more than five seconds). 4. Turn the ignition to OFF and remove the second SecuriLock௢ key from the ignition. 5. Within 10 seconds of turning the ignition to OFF, insert the unprogrammed SecuriLock௢ key (new key/valet key) into the ignition and turn the ignition from OFF to RUN (maintain ignition in RUN for at least one second). This step will program your new SecuriLock௢ key. 6. To program additional SecuriLock௢ key(s), repeat this procedure from step 1. If the programming procedure was successful, the new SecuriLock௢ key(s) will start the vehicle's engine. The theft indicator (located on the instrument panel) will light for three seconds and then go out. 109
