Reprogramming remote entry transmitters
1. Insert the first programmed key into the ignition and turn the key
from off to run (maintain the key in run for approximately 3 seconds).
2. Turn the first key to off and remove it from the ignition.
3. Within 10 seconds of turning the key to off, insert a second
programmed key into the ignition and turn the key from off to run
(maintain the key in run for approximately 3 seconds).
4. Turn the second key to off and remove it from the ignition.
5. Within 10 seconds of turning the second key to off, insert the new,
unprogrammed key into the ignition and turn the key from off to run
(maintain the key in run for approximately 3 seconds).
If you would like to program additional key(s) (up to a total of 8 keys
can be programmed), repeat Steps 1-5 for each additional key.
6. The Securilockpassive anti-theft system portion of the key is now
programmed. To program the remote keyless entry functions of the key

been programmed, the programming sequence ends.
2. Within 10 seconds, press any button on the transmitter to be
programmed. A chime will sound to confirm that the transmitter is
programmed. Repeat this step for each transmitter.
Note:There is NO chime or any other confirmation upon exiting the
programming mode.
3. Exiting the programming mode is accomplished if one of the following
occurs:
•The ignition is turned to run.
•Ten seconds have passed since entering programming mode or since
the last transmitter was programmed.
•The maximum number (eight) of transmitters has been programmed.

Note:Large metallic objects, electronic devices that are used to
purchase gasoline or similar items, or a second coded key on the same
key chain may cause vehicle starting issues. You need to prevent these
objects from touching the coded key while starting the engine. These
objects will not cause damage to the coded key, but may cause a
momentary issue if they are too close to the key when starting the
engine. If a problem occurs, turn the ignition off, remove all objects on
the key chain away from the coded key and restart the engine.
Note:Do not leave a duplicate coded key in the vehicle. Always take
your keys and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle.
SecuriLockpassive anti-theft system is an engine immobilization
system. This system is designed to help prevent the engine from being
started unless a coded key programmed to your vehicle is used. The use
of the wrong type of coded key may lead to a “no-start” condition.
Your vehicle comes with two coded keys; additional coded keys may be
purchased from and programmed by your authorized dealer.
Automatic arming
The vehicle is armed immediately after switching the ignition to the off
position.
Anti-theft indicator
The anti-theft indicator is located in the instrument cluster.
•When the ignition is off, the
indicator will flash once every two
seconds to indicate the
SecuriLocksystem is functioning
as a theft deterrent.
•When the ignition is on, the indicator will glow for three seconds, then
turn off, to indicate normal system functionality.
If a problem occurs with the SecuriLocksystem, the indicator will flash
rapidly or glow steadily when the ignition is in the on position. If this
occurs, turn the ignition off then back on to make sure there was no
electronic interference with the programmed key. If the vehicle doesn’t
start, try to start it with the 2nd programmed key and if successful
contact your authorized dealership for key replacement. If the indicator
still flashes rapidly or glows steadily, and the vehicle will not start,
contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible for service.
Automatic disarming
Switching the ignition to the on position with acoded keydisarms the
vehicle.

Replacement keys
If your keys are lost or stolen and you don’t have an extra coded key,
you will need to have your vehicle towed to an authorized dealer. The
key codes need to be erased from your vehicle and new coded keys will
need to be programmed.
Replacing coded keys can be very costly. Store an extra programmed key
away from the vehicle in a safe place to help prevent any
inconveniences. Please visit an authorized dealer to purchase additional
spare or replacement keys.
PERIMETER ALARM SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The perimeter anti-theft system will warn you in the event of an
unauthorized entry to your vehicle.
If there is any potential perimeter anti-theft problem with your vehicle,
ensureALL remote entry transmittersare taken to the authorized
dealer to aid in troubleshooting.
Arming the system
When armed, this system will respond if unauthorized entry is
attempted. When unauthorized entry occurs, the system will flash the
park/turn lamps and will sound the horn.
The system is ready to arm whenever the key is removed from the
ignition. Either of the following actions will prearm the alarm system:
•Press the lock control on the remote entry transmitter.
•Open a door and press the power door lock control to lock all the
doors, and then close the door.
Disarming the system
You can disarm the system by any of the following actions:
•Unlock the doors by pressing the
control on your remote entry
transmitter.
•Unlock the doors with a key. Turn the key full travel (toward the front
of the vehicle) to ensure the alarm disarms.
•Turn the ignition to the on or start position with a programmed coded
ignition key.
Pressing the power door unlock control within the 20 second pre-armed
mode will return the vehicle to a disarmed state.
