The first step for entering your EKA code is to open the driver’s door. The EKA code is a specific sequence of five numbers that you enter using the buttons on the steering wheel.
The second step is to turn the ignition on, but don’t start the car. You do this by turning the key one notch to power up the dashboard and other electrical systems. If you start the car at this point, you’ll have to begin again.
The third step is to press and hold down both the “0” and “9” buttons on the right hand side of your steering wheel simultaneously. This will activate the EKA code entry system, which can be identified because all of the lights on your dashboard will flash twice.
The fourth step is to release both of those buttons and use them to enter your five-digit EKA code in order. Holding down either button for three or more seconds will erase any incorrect entries, so be sure not to make any mistakes! Once you’ve entered all five digits correctly, wait three seconds before pushing either button again.
If entered correctly, your car’s alarm system should disarm itself and allow you to start it normally! If not, however, don’t worry: after four attempts, you’ll need to wait.
