Wait 20 seconds and repeat Steps 1 through 8 if programming the key
was not successful. Take your vehicle to an authorized dealer to have the
new key programmed if you are still unsuccessful.
Wait 20 seconds and then repeat this procedure from Step 1 to program
an additional key.
Programming a Spare Intelligent Access Key (if equipped)
Note:You can program a maximum of four intelligent access keys to
your vehicle. You must take your vehicle and all access keys to an
authorized dealer to have them erased and reprogrammed 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 have two previously programmed intelligent access keys inside
the vehicle and the new unprogrammed intelligent access keys readily
accessible. See an authorized dealer to have the spare key programmed
if two previously programmed keys are not available.
Make sure that the vehicle is off before beginning this procedure. Make
sure to close all the doors before beginning and that they remain closed
throughout the procedure. Perform all steps within 30 seconds of
starting the sequence. Stop and wait for at least one minute before
starting again if you perform any steps out of sequence.
Read and understand the entire procedure before you begin.

intelligent access key, with the
buttons facing out, in the pocket
inside of the center console.

power door unlock control three
times.
3. Press and release the brake pedal
one time.
4. Press the driver or passenger power door lock control three times.
5. Press and release the brake pedal one time. The indicator on the
