is for the doors and all
other locks.
When
a new vehicle is delivered, the dealer removes the plugs from the
keys, and gives them to the first owner.
Each plug has a code
on it that tells your dealer or a qualified locksmith
how to make extra keys. Keep the plugs in a safe place. If you lose your
keys, you'll be able to have new ones made easily using these
plugs.
I NOTICE:
Your vehicle has a number of new features that can help prevent
theft. But you can have a lot of trouble getting into your v\
ehicle
if you ever lock your keys inside. You
may even have to damage
your vehicle to get in.
So be sure you have extra keys.

When you press UNLOCK, the driver’s door will unlock automatically. If
you press UNLOCK again within five seconds, all doors will unlock. All
doors will lock when
DOOR is pressed.
The endgate glass will unlock when the truck symbol button
is pressed.
Vehicles with automatic transmissions must have the transmission
in “P”
(Park). Vehicles with manual transmission must have the parking brake
engaged.
Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each key chain transmitter is coded to prevent another transmitter from
unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can
be purchased through your dealer. Remember
to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when
you go to your dealer. When the dealer matches
the replacement transmitter to your vehicle, the remaining transmitters must
also be matched. Once the new transmitter is coded, the
lost transmitter will
not unlock your vehicle.
You can match a transmitter to as many different vehicles as you own,
provided they are equipped
with exactly the same model system. (General
Motors offers several different models
of these systems on their vehicles.)
Each vehicle can have only two transmitters matched to it.
See your dealer
to match transmitters to another vehicle.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the batteries in your key chain transmitter should last
about two years.
You can tell the batteries are weak
if the transmitter won’t work at the
normal range in any location. If
you have to get close to your vehicle before
the transmitter works, it’s probably time
to change the batteries.

Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities. Although your
vehicle has a number of theft deterrent features, we know that nothing we
put on
it can make it impossible to steal. However, there are ways you can
help.
Key in the Ignition
If you walk away from your vehicle with the keys inside, it’s an easy target
for joy riders or professional thieves
- so don’t do it.
When you park your vehicle and open the driver’s door, you’ll hear a tone
reminding you to remove your key from the ignition and take
it with you.
Always
do this. Your steering wheel will be locked, and so will your
ignition. If you have an automatic transmission, taking your key out
also
locks your transmission. And remember to lock the doors.
Parking at Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your vehicle. Remember
to keep your valuables out of sight. Put them
in a storage area, or take them
with you.
Parking Lots
If you park in a lot where someone will be watching your vehicle, it’s best
to lock
it up and take your keys. But what if you have to leave your ignition
key? What
if you have to leave something valuable in your vehicle?
0 Put your valuables in a storage area, like your glove box.
Lock the glove box.
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key with you.
