      2. Within 5 seconds insert second working programmed remote/key. Turn ignition to the ON position (Do not crank engine) security light will begin to flash and chime will be heard within 10 seconds. Turn remote/key off and remove. NOTE: Some vehicles will not chime, only the security light will flash.
      3. Within 5 seconds insert third NEW CUT remote/key and turn ignition to the ON position (Do not crank engine). The security light should start flashing and within 10 seconds you should hear a chime and the security light should go out. Once the security light goes out, the new remote/key should be programmed.
