If your keys are lost or stolen, you will need to do the following:
• Use your spare key to start the vehicle, or
• Have your vehicle towed to an authorized dealer or a locksmith. The

key codes will need to be erased from your vehicle and new codes will
need to be re-coded.

Replacing coded keys can be very costly and you may want to store an
extra programmed key away from the vehicle in a safe place to prevent
an unforeseen inconvenience.

The correct coded key must be used for your vehicle. The use of the
wrong coded key may lead to a “no start” condition.

If an unprogrammed key is used in the ignition, it will cause a
“no start” condition.

Programming spare keys

A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your vehicle. Only
SecuriLock

௢ keys can be used. To program a coded key yourself, you

will need two previously programmed coded keys (keys that already
operate your vehicle’s engine) and the new unprogrammed key(s) readily
accessible for timely implementation of each step in the procedure.

If two previously programmed coded keys are not available, you must
bring your vehicle to your authorized dealer to have the spare coded
key(s) programmed.

Please read and understand the entire procedure before you begin.

1. Insert the first previously
programmed coded key into the
ignition and turn the ignition from
the 3 (OFF) position to the 4 (ON)
position [maintain ignition in 4 (ON)
for at least three seconds, but no
more than ten seconds].

2. Turn ignition from the 4 (ON)
position back to the 3 (OFF)
position in order to remove the first
coded key from the ignition.
