Adaptation Tip
January 9, 2015: Update to model year.
Note:
All keys must be present during key adaptation. Immobilizer reader coil is ALWAYS located in the
steering column. DO NOT remove Start/Stop button mounted in center console to access reader
coil.
When adapting keys on a vehicle equipped with KESSY, it is recommended to remove the immobilizer
reader coil from behind round cover on steering column trim and insert key inside the reader coil. The
steering column trim does not need to be completely removed to access reader coil. For vehicles with the
Start/Stop button on the steering column, the Start/Stop button assembly can be removed from column
trim without disassembling trim. Start/Stop button connector must be disconnected to allow reader coil to
be removed from around button assembly. Start/Stop button should be reconnected during key
adaptation.
