Make sure you have two FOBIKs or POD keys that will start the vehicle before beginning the procedure.
- Insert the first valid FOBIK or POD key into the ignition and turn the ignition on for more than 3 seconds but less than 15 seconds. Turn the ignition off and remove the first key.
- Within 15 seconds, use the second valid FOBIK or POD key to turn the ignition to on. After 10 seconds a chime will sound, and the theft alarm light will begin to flash. Turn the ignition to off and remove the second valid FOBIK or POD key.
- Insert the new invalid key into the ignition and turn the ignition to on within 60 seconds. After 10 seconds a single chime will sound. The theft alarm light will stop flashing, then it will turn on for 3 seconds; then it will turn off.
The new FOBIK or POD key has been validated and will be able to start the vehicle. If it was a FOBIK then the remote will now operate the keyless entry system.
Repeat this procedure for up to 8 keys.
