Hello gloria714, here is the instructions for programming your key:
1 - insert your key in the ignition key cylinder. (do not turn the ignition on)
2 - (within 15 seconds) depress and release the acceleration pedal 5 times.
3 - (within 20 seconds) depress and release the brake pedal 6 times and remove the key from the ignition key cylinder.
4 - (within 10 seconds) insert a new key (or your original key) back into the key cylinder.
5 - (withing 10 seconds) depress and release the acceleration pedal 1 time. Watch to see if the security indicator blinks.
6 - after 60 seconds, your key is programmed or remove the key or depress the brake pedal within 10 seconds after you depress and release the acceleration pedal 1 time as instruction #5 says.
7 - your key is now programmed again.
You can also program additional keys with these same instructions. All you have to do is to remove the 1st key and insert a new key within 10 seconds of the re-programming of your key and start with #4 and continue down to #6.
You can program up to 6 keys.
good luck,
