Just close your doors and turn on the ignition. Every time you move your
shift lever
out of PARK (P) all of the doors will lock. Your doors will
unlock every time you stop and move your shift lever back into PARK (P).

person use the manual or power lock. When the door is closed again, it
will not lock automatically. Just use the manual or power lock to lock the
door again.
You can also have this feature changed where the doors will stay locked

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.

Daytime Running Lamps (Canada Only)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for others to see
the front of your vehicle during the day. DRL can be helpful
in many
different driving conditions, but they can be especially helpful
in the
short periods after dawn and before sunset.
A light sensor on top of the instrument panel makes the DRL work, so be
sure
it isn’t covered.
The DRL system
will make your low beam headlamps come on at
reduced brightness when:
0 the ignition is on,
0 the headlamp switch is off, and
0 the transaxle is not in PARK (P).
When it’s dark enough outside, your low beam headlamps will change to
full brightness. When it’s bright enough outside, the regular lamps will go
off and your low beam headlamps change to the reduced brightness of
DRL.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off shift the transaxle into PARK (P).
The DRL will stay off until you shift out of PARK (P).
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular headlamp system
when you need it.

This message will appear when the electrical system is charging less than
10 volts or if the battery has been drained. If this message appears
immediately after starting,
it is possible that the generator can still
recharge the battery. The battery should recharge after driving a few miles
and the message should go out. If this message appears while driving or
after starting your vehicle and stays on, have
it checked immediately to
determine the cause
of this problem. To help the generator recharge the
battery quickly you can reduce the load on the electrical system by turning
off your accessories. You can monitor battery voltage on
the Driver
Information Center by toggling the
INFORMATION button. The normal
range
is 11.5 to 15.5 volts.
