Keyless Entry System
If your vehicle has this option, you can lock and unlock
your doors or unlock your
trunk from up to 30 feet (9 m)
away using the key chain transmitter supplied
with
your vehicle.
Your Keyless Entry System operates on a radio
frequency subject to Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Rules.
This device complies with
Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation
is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Should interference to this system occur, try this:
Check to determine if battery replacement is
necessary. See the instructions on battery replacement.
Check the distance. You may be too far from your
vehicle. This product has a maximum range.
Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may be
blocking the signal.
See your GM dealer or a qualified technician
for service.
Changes or modifications to this system by other than
an
authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.

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, any
remaining transmitters must also be matched. Once the new transmitter is coded, the lost transmitter will
not
unlock your vehicle. 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.
Your transmitter housing snaps apart for ease
in
battery replacement.
To open the housing:
1. Insert a dime be een two halves of the transmitter
housing near
the Key ring hole.
2. Remove the bottom by twisting the dime.
3. Remove and replace the batteries with two Duracell @
batteries (DL2016 or equivalent), positive (+) side down.
4. Align and snap together the back and top
transmitter housings.
