their remote key number 1–8. The current
remote key number may be identified by
Driver Information Center (DIC) welcome

recommended to only carry one remote key
when entering the vehicle. Perform the
following if the welcome message is not
displayed:
1. Move all keys and remote keys away from the vehicle.
2. Start the vehicle with another remote key. A DIC welcome message should
display indicating the driver number of
the other remote key. Turn the vehicle
off and remove the other key or remote
key from the vehicle. 3. Start the vehicle with the initial key or
remote key. The DIC welcome message
should display the driver number of the
initial remote key.
