Turn the key to the "On" position and leave it there for 10 minutes and 30 seconds.
Turn the key to the "Off" position within 45 seconds of finishing step 2, and then turn it back to the "On" position for another 10 minutes and 30 seconds.
Turn the key "Off" again within 45 seconds, and then "On" again for another 10 minutes and 30 seconds.
Turn the key "Off" and then back "On." The programming should be completed and the key ready to use.
