start systems as well as a remote keyless entry transmitter. A maximum of
four intelligent access keys can be programmed to your vehicle.
If your intelligent access key is lost or stolen and you don’t have an extra
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 keys will
need to be programmed.
Replacing intelligent access 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.
Programming spare intelligent access keys
You must have two previously programmed intelligent access keys inside
the vehicle and the new unprogrammed intelligent access keys readily
accessible. If two previously programmed keys are not available, you
must take your vehicle to your authorized dealer to have the spare
key(s) programmed.
Note:A maximum of four intelligent access keys can be programmed to
your vehicle. If you would like to replace a previously programmed
access key with a new access key, or if you already have four access keys
programmed to your vehicle, you must take your vehicle and all access
keys to your authorized dealer to be erased and reprogrammed.
