Matching Transmitter(s) to
Your Vehicle
Each RKE 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.

Delayed Locking
With this feature, you can delay the actual locking
of the doors.
When the power door lock switch or the lock
button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter is pressed when the key is not in the
ignition and the driver’s door is opened, a
chime will sound three times indicating that
delayed locking is active.
When all the doors are closed, the doors will lock
automatically after ve seconds. If a door is
reopened before ve seconds have elapsed, the
ve second timer will reset itself once all the doors
are closed again.
You can press the door lock switch or the lock
button on the RKE transmitter again to override
this feature and lock the doors immediately.
You can turn this feature off using the Driver
Information Center (DIC). When delayed locking is
off, the doors will lock immediately when you
press the power door lock switch or the lock button
on the RKE transmitter. SeeDIC Vehicle
Personalization on page 242for more information.
Programmable Automatic Door Locks
If your vehicle has an automatic transmission,
the vehicle is programmed so that the doors will
lock automatically when all doors are closed,
the ignition is on, and the shift lever is moved out
of PARK (P). The doors will automatically
unlock when you stop the vehicle and move the
shift lever back into PARK (P).
If your vehicle has a manual transmission, the
vehicle is programmed so that the doors will lock
automatically after the vehicle speed reaches
5 mph (8 km). The doors will automatically unlock
when the ignition is turned off and the key is
removed from the ignition.
If someone needs to exit the vehicle once the
doors are locked, have that person use the manual
lever or power door lock switch. When the door
is closed again, it will not lock automatically.
Use the manual lever or the power door lock
switch to lock the door.
The power door locks can be programmed
through prompts displayed on the Driver
Information Center (DIC). These prompts allow
you to choose various lock and unlock settings.
For more information on programming, see
DIC Vehicle Personalization on page 242.

(CO) gas can come into your vehicle.
You cannot see or smell CO. It can cause
unconsciousness and even death. If you
must drive with the trunk lid open or
if electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal
between the body and the trunk lid:
Make sure all other windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or
cooling system to its highest speed
and select the control setting that will
force outside air into your vehicle.

Power Windows
{CAUTION:
Leaving children, helpless adults, or pets
in a vehicle with the windows closed is
dangerous. They can be overcome from
extreme heat in warm or hot weather and
suffer permanent injuries or even death
from heat stroke.
Leaving children in a vehicle with the
ignition key is dangerous for many
reasons, children or others could be badly
injured or even killed. They could operate
the power windows or other controls or
even make the vehicle move. The windows
will function with the keys in the ignition
and they could be seriously injured or
killed if caught in the path of a closing
window. Do not leave keys in a vehicle
with children.

Programming the Power Windows
If the battery on your vehicle has been recharged,
disconnected, or is not working, you will need to
reprogram each front power window for the
express-up feature to work. Before reprogramming,
replace or recharge your vehicle’s battery.To program each window, follow these steps:
1. With the ignition in ACCESSORY, ON or when
Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is active,
press and hold the down arrow on the
power window switch until the window has
fully opened.
2. Press the up arrow on the power window
switch until the window is fully closed.
3. Continue holding the up arrow on the switch
for approximately two seconds after the
window is completely closed.
The window is now reprogrammed. Repeat the
process for the other front window.
Express Window Anti-Pinch Feature
If any object is in the path of the window when the
express-up is active, the window will stop at the
obstruction and automatically reverse to a preset
factory position. Weather conditions such as
severe icing may also cause the window to
automatically reverse. The window will return to
normal operation once the obstruction or condition
is removed.

Sun Visors
Swing down the primary visor to block out glare.
It can also be detached from the center mount
and moved to the side to block glare from
that direction.
The driver’s visor may also have buttons for a
built-in garage door opener. SeeUniversal Home

Lighted Visor Vanity Mirror
Pull the visor down and lift the cover to access the
mirror. A light comes on when the cover is lifted
and goes out when it is closed.
Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some
cities. Although your vehicle has a number of
theft-deterrent features, we know that nothing we
put on it can make it impossible to steal.
Theft-Deterrent System
If your vehicle has this
feature, the security
light is located on
the instrument panel
cluster.
If the ignition is off and a door is open, the
security light will ash, reminding you to arm the
theft-deterrent system.
111

Immobilizer Operation
Your vehicle has a
passive theft-deterrent
system.
The system works when the key is turned to ON.
The key uses a transponder that matches an
immobilizer control unit in your vehicle. Only the
correct key will start the vehicle. If the key is ever
damaged, you may not be able to start your vehicle.When trying to start the vehicle, if the engine does
not start and the security light comes on, the
key may have a damaged transponder. Turn the
ignition off and try again.
If the engine still does not start, and the key
appears to be undamaged, try another ignition
key. At this time, you may also want to check
the fuse. SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers on
page 447. If the engine still does not start with the
other key, your vehicle needs service. If your
vehicle does start, the rst key may be faulty.
See your dealer who can service the
theft-deterrent system and have a new key made.
It is possible for the theft-deterrent system decoder
to learn the transponder value of a new or
replacement key. Up to 10 additional keys may be
programmed for the vehicle. The following
procedure is for programming additional keys only.
114

Canadian Owners:If you lose or damage your
keys, only a GM dealer can service the
theft-deterrent system to have new keys made.
To program additional keys you will require
two current driver’s keys. You must add a step to
the following procedure. After Step 2, repeat
Steps 1 and 2 with the second current driver’s key.
Then continue with Step 3.
To program a new key do the following:
1. Verify that the new key has PK3+ stamped
on it.
2. Insert the current driver’s key in the ignition
and start the engine. If the engine will not
start see your dealer for service.
3. After the engine has started, turn the key to
OFF, and remove the key.4. Insert the key to be programmed and turn it to
ON within ten seconds of removing the
previous key.
5. The security light will turn off once the key
has been programmed. It may not be
apparent that the security light went on due to
how quickly the key is programmed.
6. Repeat the Steps 1 through 4 if additional
keys are to be programmed.
If the security light comes on and stays on while
driving, you will be able to restart the engine if you
turn it off. The theft-deterrent system, however,
is not working properly and must be serviced
by your dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by
the theft-deterrent system at this time.
