One key is used for the
ignition, the doors and
all other locks.
When a new vehicle is delivered, the dealer
removes the key tag from the key and gives it to the
rst owner. Each tag has a code on it that tells your
dealer or a qualied locksmith how to make extra
keys. Keep the tag in a safe place. If you lose your
key, you will be able to have a new one made easily
using the tag.
If you need a new key, contact your dealer who can
obtain the correct key code. SeeRoadside
Assistance Program on page 399for more
information.
Notice:If you ever lock your keys in your
vehicle, you may have to damage the vehicle to
get in. Be sure you have spare keys.Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
