lock cylinders on the
vehicle.

System. The key has a transponder in the key head
that matches a decoder in the vehicle’s steering column.

you must purchase it from your dealer. The key will have
PK3+ stamped on it. Keep the bar code tag that
came with the original keys. Give this tag to your dealer
if you need a new key made.
