grammed to any other vehicle.
WARNING!
• Always remove the key fobs from the
vehicle and lock all doors when leaving
the vehicle unattended.

ronment if not disposed of correctly. Always

of programming a blank key fob to the vehicle

never been programmed.

tem serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you
