the engine. These objects and devices cannot damage

If your keys are lost or
stolen you will need to
do the following:
• Use your spare key
to start the vehicle. or
• Have your vehicle towed to a dealership or
locksmith. The key codes will need to be erased
from your vehicle and new key codes will need to
be re-coded.
Replacing coded keys can be very costly and you
may want to store an extra programmed key away
from the vehicle in a safe place to prevent an
unforeseen inconvenience.
The correct coded key key must be used for your
vehicle. The use of the wrong type of coded key
key may lead to a “NO-START” condition.
If an unprogrammed key is used in the ignition
it will cause a “NO START” condition.
Programming spare keys
A maximum of eight keys can be coded to your
vehicle. Only SecuriLock
௢ keys can be used. To
program a coded key yourself, you will need two
previously programmed coded keys (keys that
already operate your vehicle’s engine) and the new
unprogrammed key(s) readily accessible for timely
implementation of each step in the procedure.
If two previously programmed coded keys are not
available, you must bring your vehicle to your
dealership to have the spare coded key(s)
programmed.
