Key Coding




One key is used for the ignition, door, and tailgate lock cylinders. The keys are cut on both edges to make them reversible.
Key identification is obtained from the five character key code stamped on the key code tag. From this key code, the key code cutting combination can be determined from a code list (available to owners of key cutting equipment from suppliers).
If key codes are not available from records or tags, the key code can be obtained from the right hand door lock cylinder (if lock has not been replaced). Lock
cylinders supplied by the factory as service parts are unmarked. If the original key is available, the key code cutting combination can be determined by laying the key on the diagram shown in the figure.
