    Programming Instructions for your Keyless Entry Remote:

    Step 1: Begin with your key out of the ignition with the driver's door open and unlocked. All other doors should be closed.

    Step 2: Insert and remove your key from the ignition. Do not turn your key.

    For step 3 perform the following within 40 seconds. Using the power lock switch on the driver's door perform 5 lock/unlock cycles starting with the doors unlocked. Try to do this at an even pace going about 1 cycle per second. Now, close and reopen the driver's door.

    Step 4 should also be performed with 40 seconds. Using the power lock switch on the driver's door perform 5 lock/unlock cycles starting with the door unlocked. Try doing this at an even pace going at about 1 cycle per second. Now insert the key into the ignition. Turn the ignition to the "On" position then back off. Again, turn the ignition to the "On" position then back off. Now remove your key from the ignition.

    Step 5: Within 3 seconds the power door locks should cycle automatically indicating successful entry into your vehicle's programming mode. Return to step 1 if the locks do not cycle at this point.

    Step 6 should be performed within 40 seconds. On the remote press the lock and unlock buttons simultaneously for 1 second. Immediately, after letting go of the lock and unlock buttons press the lock button by itself and hold for 2 seconds. Within 3 seconds the door locks should cycle once indicating successful programming.

    If the door locks do not cycle or cycle twice your remote has not been accepted. Repeat step 6 from the beginning. For each additional remote including your existing remove, repeat step 6 from the beginning.

    Step 7: Close the driver' s door to exit programming mode.

    Your Keyless Entry remote is now programmed.
