Programming with TWO Recognized Transmitters

A new transmitter can be programmed to the vehicle when there are two recognized transmitters. To program, the vehicle must be off and all of the transmitters, both currently recognized and new, must be with you.

1. Remove the key lock cylinder cap on the driver door handle. See Door Locks pg. 39. Place the two recognized transmitters in the cupholder.

2. Insert the vehicle key of the transmitter into the key lock cylinder on the driver door handle and turn the key,
counterclockwise, to the unlock position five times within 10 seconds. The Driver Information Center (DIC) displays READY FOR REMOTE #2, 3, 4, ETC.

3. Place the new transmitter into the cupholder.

4. Press ENGINE START/STOP. When the transmitter is learned the DIC display will show that it is ready to program the next transmitter.

5. Remove the transmitter from the cupholder and press UNLOCK or LOCK on the transmitter. To program additional transmitters, repeat Steps 3–5. When all additional transmitters are programmed, press and hold ENGINE START/STOP for 12 seconds to exit programming mode.

6. Put the key back into the transmitter.
