If a locked door is not opened using the remote keyless
entry transmitter, or by OnStar®, the alarm will go off.
The front turn signal lamps will ash for two minutes,
and the horn will sound for two minutes, then will turn off
to save the battery power.
Remember, the theft-deterrent system won’t activate if
you lock the doors with a key, the manual door lock,
or power door lock switch. The system can only
be activated using the remote keyless entry transmitter,
or by OnStar
®. You should also remember that you
can start your vehicle with the correct ignition key if the
alarm has been set off.
Here’s how to avoid setting off the alarm by accident:
If you don’t want to activate the theft-deterrent
system, the vehicle should be locked with the door
key after the doors are closed.
Always unlock a door with the remote keyless entry
transmitter. Unlocking a door any other way will set
off the alarm.
If you set off the alarm by accident, you can turn off the
alarm by pressing unlock on the remote keyless
entry transmitter. The alarm won’t stop if you try to
unlock a door any other way.
Testing the Alarm
The alarm can be tested by following these steps:
1. From inside the vehicle, activate the system by
locking the doors with the remote keyless entry
transmitter.
2. Unlock the door with the manual door lock and
open the door. This should set off the alarm.
3. To turn the alarm off, press the unlock button
on the remote keyless entry transmitter or start
the engine.
If the alarm does not sound when it should but the lights
ash, check to see if the horn works. The horn fuse
may be blown. To replace the fuse, seeFuses
and Circuit Breakers on page 5-99.
If the alarm does not sound or the headlamps do not
ash, see your dealer for service.

Shifting from Four-Wheel Low to
Two-Wheel High or Four-Wheel High
To shift from four-wheel low to two-wheel high or
four-wheel high, your vehicle must be stopped or
moving less than 1.2 mph (2 km/h) with the transmission
in NEUTRAL (N) or the clutch pedal engaged.
The preferred method for shifting out of four-wheel low
is to have your vehicle moving 1.2 mph (2 km/h).
Press and release the four-wheel high button. You must
wait for the four-wheel high indicator light to stop
ashing and remain illuminated before shifting your
transmission into gear or releasing the clutch pedal.
If the four-wheel high button is pressed when your
vehicle is in gear and/or moving faster than 1.2 mph
(2 km/h), the four-wheel high indicator light will ash for
30 seconds but not complete the shift.
On vehicles with an automatic transmission, if your
transfer case does not shift into four-wheel high, your
transmission indicator switch may require adjustment.
With your transmission in NEUTRAL (N), press and
release the four-wheel high button. While the four-wheel
high indicator light is ashing, shift your transmission
into PARK (P). Wait until the four-wheel high indicator
light remains illuminated before shifting your
transmission into gear. Press the four-wheel high button
again to complete the shift. This will get you into
four-wheel high, but you should take your vehicle in for
service to restore normal operation.
Shifting to NEUTRAL
Use NEUTRAL when you plan to tow your vehicle.
SeeRecreational Vehicle Towing on page 4-50
for towing instructions. To shift the transfer case into
NEUTRAL do the following:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Start the vehicle.
3. Shift the transmission in NEUTRAL (N), or press in
the clutch for vehicles with a manual transmission.
4. Shift the transfer case to two-wheel high.
5. Press and hold the two-wheel high and four-wheel
low buttons at the same time for 10 seconds. The
NEUTRAL (N) light will come on when the
transfer case shift to NEUTRAL (N) is complete.
6. Shift the transmission to REVERSE (R) for one
second, then shift the transmission to DRIVE (D)
for one second, or FIRST (1) for vehicles with
manual transmissions.
7. Turn the ignition to LOCK.
8. Place the transmission shift lever in PARK (P), or
FIRST (1) for vehicles equipped with a manual
transmission.
