Procedure to program spare SecuriLock
ி
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.
You will need to have two previously programmed SecuriLock
keys and
the new unprogrammed SecuriLock
key readily accessible for the
procedure. Please read and understand the entire procedure before you
begin.
1. Insert the first previously programmed SecuriLock
key into the
ignition switch 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 switch.
3. Within five seconds of turning the ignition to OFF, insert the second
previously programmed SecuriLock
key into the ignition switch and
turn the ignition from OFF to RUN (maintain ignition in RUN for at least
one second but no more than 5 seconds).
4. Turn the ignition to OFF and remove the second SecuriLock
key
from the ignition switch.
5. Within 10 seconds of turning the ignition to OFF, insert the
unprogrammed SecuriLock
key (new key) into the ignition switch and
turn the ignition from OFF to RUN (maintain ignition switch in RUN for
at least one second). This step will program your new SecuriLock
key.
6. If it is desired 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 cluster) will light for three seconds and then go out.
If the programming procedure was not successful, the new SecuriLock
key(s) will not operate the vehicle’s engine. The theft indicator will flash
on and off. Wait at least one minute and then repeat the procedure from
step 1. If failure repeats, bring your vehicle to your dealership to have
the spare SecuriLock
key(s) programmed.
