2. Select the menu

Important notes
- Make sure you have a working key for the vehicle so the procedure can complete successfully. The car will be left with the working key learned, and the rest of the keys deleted.
- This is the correct procedure when a key has been lost and you need to make sure it can no longer start the vehicle.
- Deleting keys does not add keys. To add one afterwards, use Key Learning.
Troubleshooting
