Programming spare keys
A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your vehicle. Only
SecuriLock

will need two previously programmedcoded keys(keys that already
operate your vehicle’s engine) and the new unprogrammed key(s) readily
accessible for timely implementation of each step in the procedure.
If two previously programmed coded keys are not available, you must
bring your vehicle to your authorized dealer to have the spare coded
key(s) programmed.
Please read and understand the entire procedure before you begin.
1. Insert the first previously
programmedcoded keyinto the

(on) position for at least one
second, but no more than
10 seconds).

position back to the 1 (off) position
in order to remove the firstcoded
keyfrom the ignition.
3. After three seconds but within 10 seconds of removing the firstcoded
key,insert the second previously programmedcoded keyinto the
ignition and turn the ignition from the 1 (off) position to the 3 (on)
position (maintain ignition in the 3 (on) position for at least one second
but no more than 10 seconds).

in order to remove the secondcoded keyfrom the ignition.
5. After three seconds but within 10 seconds of removing the second
coded key,insert the new unprogrammed key (new key/valet key) into
the ignition and turn the ignition from the 1 (off) position to the 3 (on)
position (maintain ignition in the 3 (on) position for at least one second,
