  • Put the key into the ignition and remove it 6 times in 10 seconds without turning it. The hazard lights will flash, which means your car is in programming mode.
  • Put the key back in the ignition and turn it to the ACC position.
  • Within 5 seconds, press the lock button on the remote to be programmed. The hazards lights will flash again to indicate successful programming of the remote.
  • If you have multiple remotes to program, unlock then lock all the doors using the driver’s side switch. Within 5 seconds, press the lock button on the next remote to be programmed. The hazard lights will flash to indicate successful programming of that remote. Repeat this step for any additional remotes.
