REPLACING A LOST KEY OR REMOTE CONTROL
Replacement or additional keys or remote controls can be purchased
from your authorized dealer. Your dealer can program the transmitters to
your vehicle or you may be able to program them yourself. Refer to the
Securitychapter for information on programming your keys.
Reprogramming Your Remote Control
Note:You can only program an integrated keyhead transmitter. See your
authorized dealer to have an intelligent access transmitter programmed.
You must have all remote controls available before beginning this
procedure. If all remote controls are not present during programming,
the ones missing will no longer operate the vehicle.
To reprogram the remote control:
1. Turn the ignition switch from off to run four times in rapid succession
(within six seconds), with the fourth turn ending in off. If the program
mode is successfully entered, a chime will sound.
Note:If no action is taken within 10 seconds after a transmitter has
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 on.
•Ten seconds have passed since entering the programming mode or
since the last transmitter was programmed.
•The maximum number (eight) of transmitters has been programmed.

are not active. SeeSmart locksin this section for more information
Smart Unlocks for Integrated Keyhead Transmitter
This feature helps to prevent you from locking yourself out of the vehicle
if your key is still in the ignition.
When you open one of the front doors and lock the vehicle with the
power door lock control, all the doors will lock then unlock if your key is
still in the ignition.

regardless of whether the key is in the ignition or not.

vehicle will search for an intelligent access key in the passenger
compartment. If an intelligent access key is found inside the vehicle, all
of the doors will immediately unlock and the horn will chirp, indicating
that the intelligent access key is inside.
In order to override the smart unlock feature and intentionally lock the
intelligent access key inside the vehicle, you can lock your vehicle after
all doors are closed by pressing the lock button on another intelligent
access key or touching the locking area on the handle with another
intelligent access key in your hand.
