Locate the valet switch, which is a small black button usually located under the driver's side of the dashboard.
Press and hold the valet switch for approximately 10 seconds until you hear a confirmation beep.
Turn the ignition key to the "Lock" position and remove it from the ignition.
Wait for about 10 seconds, then insert the key back into the ignition and turn it to the "on" position (do not start the engine).
The immobilizer system should now be reset. You may hear a second beep to confirm the reset.
Please let us know how it goes.
