FOB Reprogramming Instructions

ATTENTION: You must have one working remote to add another remote to the system. If you do not have a working remote, these instructions will not work. You will need a locksmith or dealership to program the first remote.

  1. Using a working keyless remote, unlock the vehicle and disarm the Vehicle Theft/Security System.
  2. Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to the RUN position (as far as possible without cranking the engine).
  3. Using the working remote, press and hold the UNLOCK button for 4 to 10 seconds.
  4. Within the same 4 to 10 seconds, continue holding the UNLOCK button and press the PANIC button for 1 second. Release both buttons. A chime will sound indicating the programming mode has been entered (allow up to 3 seconds).
  5. Within 30 seconds of the chime:
    • Press and release the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons simultaneously.
    • Then press and release only the UNLOCK button.
    • A chime will confirm the remote is programmed.
    • Repeat the same sequence for each additional remote. A chime will sound after each one.
  6. Turn the ignition OFF and remove the key.
  7. Test all remotes.
