window switches.

2-5
One key is used for the
ignition, the doors and
all other locks.
When a new vehicle is delivered, the dealer removes the
key tag from the key and gives it to the first owner. Each
tag has a code on it that tells your dealer or a qualified
locksmith how to make extra keys. Keep the tag in a
safe place. If you lose your key, you'll be able to have
a new one made easily using the tag.
If you need a new key, contact your Chevrolet dealer
who can obtain the correct key code. See ªRoadside
Assistanceº in the Index for more information.
NOTICE:
Your vehicle has a number of new features that
can help prevent theft. But you can have a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever lock
your key inside. You may even have to damage
your vehicle to get in. So be sure you have an
extra key.

2-6
Door Locks
CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.

Passengers -- especially children -- can
easily open the doors and fall out of a
moving vehicle. When a door is locked, the
handle won't open it. You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in
a crash if the doors aren't locked. So, wear
safety belts properly and lock the doors
whenever you drive.

Young children who get into unlocked
vehicles may be unable to get out. A child
can be overcome by extreme heat and can
suffer permanent injuries or even death
from heat stroke. Always lock your vehicle
whenever you leave it.

Outsiders can easily enter through an
unlocked door when you slow down or stop
your vehicle. Locking your doors can help
prevent this from happening.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
Use your key to unlock your vehicle from the outside.
If your vehicle is equipped with a remote keyless entry
system, you can also use it to unlock your vehicle. See
ªRemote Keyless Entry Systemº in the Index.
To lock the door from the
inside, push the locking
lever forward.
To unlock the door, pull the locking lever rearward.

2-7 Power Door Locks (If Equipped)
You can lock or unlock
all doors on your vehicle
from the driver's or
front passenger's door
lock switch.
Push the lower portion of the switch to lock the doors.
Push the upper portion of the switch to unlock the doors.
The switch on each rear door works only that door's
lock. It won't lock (or unlock) all of the doors
-- that's a
safety feature.
Rear Door Security Lock (4-Door Models)
Your vehicle is equipped
with rear door security
locks that help prevent
passengers from opening
the rear doors on your
vehicle from the inside.
To Use One of These Locks
1. Use a key to move the lock all the way up.
2. Close the door.
3. Do the same thing to the other rear door lock.
The rear doors on your vehicle cannot be opened
from the inside when this feature is in use.

2-8
To Open a Rear Door With the Security Lock
1. Unlock the door from the inside.
2. Then open the door from the outside.
If you don't cancel the security lock feature, adults or
older children who ride in the rear won't be able to open
the rear door from the inside. You should let adults and
older children know how to cancel the locks.
To Cancel the Rear Door Lock
1. Unlock the door from the inside and open the door
from the outside.
2. Use a key to move the lock all the way down.
3. Do the same for the other rear door.
The rear door lock will now work normally.
Lockout Prevention (If Equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with remote keyless entry,
you have lockout protection. This feature stops the
power door locks from locking when the keys are in
the ignition and the door is open.
If the power door lock switch is pressed when a door
is open and the key is in the ignition, all the doors will
lock and the driver's door will unlock.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, open your door and
set the locks from the inside. Then get out and close
the door.
Remote Keyless Entry (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this feature, you can lock and unlock
your doors or unlock your trunk from about 3 feet (1 m)
up to 30 feet (9 m) away using the remote keyless entry
transmitter supplied with your vehicle.
In addition, the system illuminates the interior lamps
for a set period of time. Also, a content theft security
system can be activated to monitor and set a horn alarm
if the vehicle's door or trunk is opened without first
unlocking the door or trunk with the remote keyless
entry transmitter.
The remote keyless entry system consists of a
receiver, which is located in the vehicle, and two hand
held transmitters.
Your keyless entry system operates on a radio frequency
subject to Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Rules and with Industry Canada.

Changes or modifications to this system by other than

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:

Check the distance. You may be too far from your
vehicle. You may need to stand closer during rainy
or snowy weather.

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.

Check to determine if battery replacement or
resynchronization is necessary. See the instructions
that follow.

If you're still having trouble, see your dealer or a
qualified technician for service.

2-10 Operation
The following
functions are available
with the remote
keyless entry system:
LOCK: All doors will automatically lock when the
LOCK button is pressed. In addition, if all doors and
the trunk are closed, the headlamps will flash once, the
interior lamps will turn off, and the vehicle content theft
security system will arm. See ªContent Theft Security
Systemº later in the section.UNLOCK: The driver's door will unlock when the
UNLOCK button on the transmitter is pressed. In
addition, the headlamps will flash twice, the interior
lamps will turn on for about 20 seconds or until the
ignition is turned on, and the content theft security
system will disarm. See ªContent Theft Security
Systemº later in the section. If you press UNLOCK
again within five seconds, all remaining doors
will unlock.
Trunk Release: The trunk will unlock anytime
when the vehicle symbol on the transmitter is pressed
and the vehicle speed is less that 2 mph (3 km/h).
The headlamps will flash twice.
Horn Symbol: The horn will sound and the
headlamps and interior lamps will flash alternately when
this button is pressed. This can be turned off by pressing
the horn symbol button again or by turning the ignition
to ON. The alarm will sound for two minutes unless
cancelled by the driver.
Your dealer can change the settings to disable the
headlamp flash and horn chirp features. Your dealer can
also change the settings to allow the horn to chirp twice
on the first press of the UNLOCK button. See your
dealer for more information.

2-11
Radio Personalization Feature
Your vehicle can store different radio preset stations
and other settings depending on which keyless entry
transmitter you use to unlock the doors. The radio
will recall all the stored settings associated with that
transmitter. Any radio setting changes will be assigned
to the transmitter last used to unlock the doors.
This feature can be disabled by your dealer if you desire.
Contact your dealer for further information.
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 only four transmitters
matched to it.
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.
NOTICE:
When replacing the battery, use care not to
touch any of the circuitry. Static from your
body transferred to these surfaces may damage
the transmitter.
