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 LOCK is pressed.
The endgate glass will unlock when the REAR button is pressed. Vehicles
with automatic transmissions must have the transmission in PARK
(P).
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.

The braking system on a modern vehicle is complex. Its many parts have to
be
of top quality and work well together if the vehicle is to have really good
braking. Vehicles we design and test have top-quality
GM brake parts in
them, as your vehicle does when it is new. When you replace parts of your
braking system
- for example, when your brake linings wear down and
you have to have new ones put in
- be sure you get new genuine GM
replacement parts. If you don’t, your brakes may no longer work properly.
For example, if someone puts in brake linings that are wrong for your
vehicle, the balance between your front and rear brakes can change
- for
the worse. The braking performance you’ve come to expect can change in
many other ways if someone puts in the wrong replacement brake\
parts.
Battery
Every new vehicle has a Delco Freedom@ battery. You never have to add
water to one of these. When it’s time for a new battery, we recommend a
Delco Freedom@ battery. Get one that has the replacement number shown
on
the original battery’s label.
Vehicle Storage
If you’re not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days or more, take off the
black, negative
(-) cable from the battery. This will help keep your battery
from running down.
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle for longer storage
periods.
