2 Answers
Santana remote control matching method is as follows: 1. Take out the Santana remote control key and press the metal button on the top of the remote to extend the mechanical key. 2. Go to the Santana driver's door and locate the mechanical keyhole cover on the right side of the door handle. Insert the mechanical key into the small rectangular hole below the cover to pry it open. 3. Press the unlock button on the remote control, and within 60 seconds, insert the mechanical key into the lock hole, turn it one full rotation to the left, pull the door handle, and open the door. 4. Enter the Santana vehicle, insert the mechanical key into the ignition start keyhole, turn the key one full rotation to the right to start the vehicle. This completes the entire process of matching the Santana remote control key.
My experience of matching a new remote key for the Santana went quite smoothly. That time, I was preparing a spare key for my wife. First, I sat firmly in the driver's seat and closed the door to ensure safety. Then, I inserted the car key and turned it to the second position—the dashboard lit up, but I didn't start the engine. Next, I pressed the lock button on the new remote five times in a row, making sure the actions were quick, with about a one-second interval between presses. The car beeped once to confirm successful recognition. The key point is not to drag it out, as that could easily lead to failure and require reprogramming the old key as well. The manual has detailed instructions, but online tutorials are also reliable—I watched a video in advance to prevent mistakes. The whole process only took a few minutes. After adding the key, I tested the lock and unlock functions, and everything worked normally. It made family car use more convenient and saved unnecessary expenses. If you try this method at a professional shop, even beginners can handle it easily. Remember to perform the operation in a quiet environment to avoid signal interference, which ensures greater accuracy.
