Keys
{CAUTION:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the
ignition key is dangerous for many
reasons. They could operate the power
windows or other controls or even make
the vehicle move. The children or others
could be badly injured or even killed.
Do not leave the keys in a vehicle with
children.
91

This vehicle has keys
that can be used for the
ignition and door lock
that will t with
either side up.
When a new vehicle is delivered, the dealer
provides the owner with a pair of identical keys
and a key code number.The key code number tells your dealer or a
qualied locksmith how to make extra keys. Keep
this number in a safe place. If you lose your
keys, you will be able to have new ones made
easily using this number. Your selling dealer
should also have this number.
Notice:If you ever lock your keys in your
vehicle, you may have to damage the vehicle
to get in. Be sure you have spare keys.
If you ever do get locked out of your vehicle,
call the GM Roadside Assistance Center.
SeeRoadside Assistance Program on page 504.

two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference.
2. This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry
Canada. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference.
2. This device must accept any interference

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation
With this system 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.
K(Unlock):When
you press unlock, the
driver’s door will
unlock automatically, the
parking lamps may
ash and the interior
lights will go on.
You can program different feedback settings
through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
For more information seeDriver Information
Center (DIC) on page 198.
Q(Lock):Press lock to lock all the doors. Press
lock again within three seconds and the horn
may chirp.
L(Panic):Press the horn symbol to make the
horn sound. The headlamps and taillamps will also
ash for up to 30 seconds. This can be turned
off by pressing the horn button again, or by waiting
for 30 seconds, or by starting the vehicle.
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 a maximum of four transmitters
matched to it.
94

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.
The Driver Information Center (DIC) will display a
KEY FOB # BATTERY LOW message when
the transmitter battery is low.
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.To replace the battery in the remote keyless entry
transmitter do the following:
1. Insert a thin coin in the slot between the
covers of the transmitter housing. Gently
pry the transmitter apart.
2. Remove and replace the battery with a
three-volt CR2032 or equivalent battery.
3. Align the covers and snap them together.
4. Check the operation of the transmitter.

Passengers, especially children, can
easily open the doors and fall out of
a moving vehicle. When a door is

thrown out of the vehicle in a crash if
the doors are not locked. So, wear
safety belts properly and lock the
doors whenever you drive.

CAUTION: (Continued)

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. From the outside, use the remote keyless
entry transmitter or the key.
