Programming Additional Key Fobs
Programming the key fob may be performed by an autho-
rized dealer.

cannot be repurposed and reprogrammed to another ve-
hicle.

NOTE: Only key fobs that are programmed to the vehicle
electronics can be used to start and operate the vehicle.
Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be
programmed to any other vehicle.
