Securing a Child Restraint in the Right
Front Seat Position
If your vehicle has a front passenger air bag, never put a
rear-facing child restraint in this seat. Here’s why:
A child in a rear-facing child restraint can be
seriously injured if the front passenger’s air bag
inflates. This is because the back of
a rear-facing
child restraint would be very close to the inflating
air bag.
If your vehicle is a passenger van, always
secure a rear-facing child restraint in a rear seat.
If your vehicle is a cargo van with a right front
passenger air bag, do not use a rear-facing child
restraint in this vehicle.
If a forward-facing child
restraint is suitable for your child, always move
the passenger seat
as far back as it will go.

Keyless Entry System
If your vehicle has this option, you can lock and unlock
your doors from about
3 feet (1 m) up to 30 feet (9 m)
away using the remote keyless entry transmitter supplied
with your vehicle.
Your Keyless Entry System operates on a radio frequency
subject to Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Rules and with Industry and Science Canada.
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. This device
complies with
RSS-210 of Industry and
Science Canada. Operation is subject to
the following
two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and
(2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation
of the device.
Changes or modifications to this
system by other than an
authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
This system has a range of about
3 feet (1 m) up to
30 feet (9 m). At times you may notice a decrease in
range. This is normal for any remote keyless entry
system. If the transmitter does not work or if you
have to stand closer to your vehicle for the transmitter
to work, try this:
0 Check to determine if battery replacement or
transmitter resynchronization is necessary. See the
instructions that follow.
0 Check the distance. You may be too far from your
vehicle. You may need to stand closer during rainy
or snowy weather.
0 Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may
be blocking the signal. Take a few steps to the
left
or right, hold the transmitter higher, and try again.
0 If you’re still having trouble, see your GM dealer or
a qualified technician for service.

Use one Panasonic@ type CR2032 battery:
1. Insert a dime in the slot between the covers of the
transmitter housing near the key ring
hole. Remove
the bottom by twisting the dime.
2. Remove and replace the battery, positive side down.

3. Align the covers and snap them together.
4. Check the operation of the transmitter,
Synchronization
Synchronization may be necessary due to the security
method used by this 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 recording and playing back
the signal from the transmitter.
To resynchronize your transmitter, stand close
to your
vehicle and simultaneously press and hold the
LOCK
and UNLOCK buttons on the transmitter for at least
five seconds. The door locks should cycle
to confirm
synchronization.
If the locks do not cycle, see your
dealer for service.

Playing a Compact Disc in the Single Remote Disc
Player (If Equipped)
If you have this option, you can play one compact disc
(CD) at a time.
To load a CD into the player, hold the disc
with the
label side up and insert it carefully into the player
(approximately halfway). The disc will automatically
be pulled into the player. If the radio is off and the
ignition is on
when a CD is inserted, the radio will turn
on and begin playing the CD. It is possible to load and
unload CDs with the ignition off. To load a disc with
the ignition off, press the EJECT button on the remote
player and then insert the disc.
To remove the disc, press
the EJECT button and remove the disc from the player.
A disc that has been ejected but is still sitting in the
remote
CD player will be pulled back into the player
after approximately
30 seconds. This protects the disc and player from damage.
The
disc will not start playing.
To remove the disc, press the EJECT button and remove
the disc from
the player.
All of the compact disc functions are controlled by the
radio buttons except for
EJECT. When a disc is in the
player,
a CD symbol will appear on the display. When a
disc is playing, the letters
CD will appear next to the CD
symbol in the bottom left corner. The track number will
also be displayed.
If the disc comes back out and
ERR appears on the
display, it could be that:
0 The disc is upside down.
It is dirty, scratched or wet.
There’s too much moisture in the air. (Wait about an
hour and try again.)
You are driving on a very rough road.
Please contact your dealership
if any error recurs or
cannot be corrected.
PREV (1): Press this button to go back to the start
of the current track if more than eight seconds have
played. Press PREV again to go to the previous track
on the disc.
