However,
if the ignition key does not have a plug, there
may be a bar-coded key tag instead.
Each plug has a code on it that tells your dealer or a
qualified
locksmith how to make extra keys. Keep the
plugs in a safe place. If you lose your keys, you'll be
able to have new ones made easily using these plugs or
the tag. If your ignition keys don't have plugs, go to
your dealer
