The driver’s door will unlock automatically when
UNLOCK is pressed. If UNLOCK is pressed again
within five seconds, the passenger door will also unlock.
All doors will lock when LOCK is pressed.
The hatch will unlock when the button with the trunk
symbol is pressed twice within five seconds, as long as
the ignition is turned to the
OFF position. If the ignition
is on, the trunk button will only work if the transmission
is in PARK (P) for an automatic transmission, or if the
parking brake
is set on a manual transmission.
The system will turn on the interior lamps for about
40 seconds (or until the ignition switch is turned to the
RUN position), when you unlock
the doors or hatch.
The interior lamps will
go off when you lock the doors.
Operating the Remote Keyless Entry transmitter may
interact with the Vehicle and Content
Theft-DeterrenUAlarm System (if you have this option).
See “Vehicle and Content Theft-DeterrenVAlarm
System” in the Index. If
your vehicle is equipped with the Vehicle and Content
Theft-DeterrenVAlarm System, you will have a fourth
button
on your transmitter. This button is the panic
button. If you are involved in a panic situation, press
this button and your vehicle’s horn will sound and the
headlamps will flash. This will draw needed attention to
you and your vehicle. To turn this feature off, either
push the panic button again or turn the ignition
to the
RUN position. Note:
This feature will not work if your
ignition is on or if the transmitter is
30 feet (9 m) or
more away from your vehicle.
Wansmitter Range
The range of your Remote Keyless Entry system should
be about
3 feet (1 m) up to 30 feet (9 m). At times you
may notice a decrease in the range. This is normal for
the Remote Keyless Entry system. If the transmitter
does not work, or you have
to stand closer to your
vehicle for the transmitter to work:
You may have to replace the battery in your transmitter.
See the instructions for battery replacement.
0 You may be too far from your vehicle. Check your
distance. You may have
to stand closer to your
vehicle in rain or snow.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 0 Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may be
blocking the signal. Take a few steps to the right or left.
0 You may have to synchronize your transmitter to
the receiver in your vehicle. See the instructions
for synchronization.
You may have to match the transmitters to your
vehicle. See instructions.
If none of the above apply, see your Chevrolet dealer
or qualified technician for service.
Synchronization
Synchronization may be necessary due to the security
method used by the Remote Keyless Entry system. The
transmitter does not send the same signal twice to the
receiver. The receiver will not respond to a signal it has
been sent previously. This prevents anyone from recoding
and playing back the signal from the transmitter.
To
resynchronize the transmitter with the receiver:
0 While standing close to your vehicle, simultaneously
press and hold the LOCK and
UNLOCK buttons on
the transmitter for eight seconds. The door locks
should cycle and the parking lamps flash to confirm
synchronization. If this does not happen, you may
need to replace the battery in your transmitter
or
match the transmitter to your vehicle.
Transmitter Verification (If Equipped)
This feature provides feedback to the holder of the
Remote Keyless Entry transmitter that a command has
been received by the Remote Keyless Entry receiver.
The parking lamps will flash
on every lock and unlock
command and the horn will sound only if the
LOCK
button is pushed twice within five seconds. This allows
for silent operation of locking and unlocking, unless a
confirming horn chirp is desired. Other options may be
selected for this feature (see “Feature Customization” in
the Index).
Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry 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 your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have up to four transmitters
matched
to it.

To match transmitters to your vehicle:
1.

Turn the ignition to the RUN position, then to the
OFF position. This will disarm the Vehicle and
Content Theft-DeterrendAlarm System (if your
vehicle has this option).
Remove the RADIO fuse. This fuse is located in the
main fuse block, located on the left side
of your main
instrument panel. See “Fuses and Circuit Breakers”
in the Index.
Turn the ignition switch from the
OFF to the RUN
position three times quickly (within five seconds).
The vehicle will respond by locking the doors,
unlocking the driver’s doors and releasing the hatch.
Your transmitter is now ready
to match the vehicle.
Press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons
on
the first transmitter for 15 seconds. The vehicle will
respond as in step
3.
Repeat Step 4 for the remaining transmitters.
When you have finished matching all
of your
transmitters, replace the
RADIO fuse.
Check that all transmitters work by pressing
their buttons.
If the transmitters don’t work, or if you’d rather not match
the transmitters yourself, see your Chevrolet dealer.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about two years.
You can tell the battery is 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 battery.
Use one battery, type CR2032, or a similar type.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
When replacing the battery, use care not to touch
any
of the circuitry. Static from your body

Carefully pry off the cover by inserting a dime (or
similar object) in a slot between the covers and twist.

Remove and replace the battery. Use one battery,
type CR2032, or a similar type. Put the new battery
in, printed side down.
Replace the front cover. Make sure the cover is on
tightly
so water won’t get in.
Check the transmitter operation. If the transmitter
does not work after battery replacement, it may need
to be resynchronized
or matched to your vehicle. See
“Resychronization” in the Index.

It can be dangerous to drive with the hatch open
because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can come into

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Arming the System Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Locking
Passive arming is also available, if you would like the
system to arm all by itself after the doors have been
closed for a short time. When the system is armed, a red
light will flash briefly once every two seconds. (Note:
If
you return to your vehicle and the red light is flashing
two brief flashes every two seconds, the system is armed
and the shock sensor had triggered a two minute alarm.
If the red light is flashing three times every two seconds,
the system is armed and there was an intrusion that
sounded the alarm). Horn chirps and parking lamp
flashes can be set to your choice.
If all the doors are closed, locking the vehicle with
the transmitter will immediately arm the system. The
horn will chirp twice and the parking lamps will flash,
confirming that the system is armed.
If any door is open
when the transmitter
LOCK button is pressed, the
system goes into an armed wait mode, waiting for the
doors to close. Once they are closed, the system will
arm, chirp the horn twice and flash the parking lamps.
If the hatch is open or ajar at the time the system is
arming, the horn will only chirp once.
Power Door Lock Switch Locking
If any door is open when the power door lock switch
is pressed, the system goes into an armed wait mode,
waiting for the doors to close. Once they are closed, the
system will arm and flash the parking lamps.
If all of the
doors are closed when the lock switch is pressed, the
system assumes
you are inside the vehicle, so it will not
arm. Note: Locking the doors by using the manual door
locks will not arm the system.
