The keys have computer chips in them and have to be programmed. If you have
two already programmed keys, you can program a third, etc. In such a case,
anyone can cut the key.

If you only have one programmed key, you have to take it to the dealer who
actually has to plug your car into a computer and let the factory reprogram
the security system for your escape to match the keys. If you have no keys,
you have to have the vehicle towed to the dealership for them to do this.

When did you lose your key?
