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 GM dealer. Remember to
bring any additional transmitters so they can also
be re-coded to match the new transmitter. Once
your dealer has coded the new transmitter, the lost
transmitter will not unlock your vehicle. The vehicle
can have a maximum of eight transmitters matched
to it. See RELEARN REMOTE KEY underDIC
Controls and Displays on page 240.

The security light is
located on the
instrument panel cluster.
If the ignition is off and any door is open, the
security light will ash, reminding you to arm the
system.
To arm the system:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door using the power door lock
switch with the door open or the Remote
Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. The security
light should come on and stay on.
3. Close all the doors. The security light should
go off within approximately 30 seconds.
If a door or the trunk is opened without a key or a
RKE transmitter, the horn will sound and the
lamps will ash for about 30 seconds.

The theft-deterrent system will not arm if you lock
the doors with a key or use the manual door
lock. It activates only if you use a power door lock
with the door open or the RKE transmitter.
To avoid activating the alarm by accident:
Lock the vehicle with the door key or the
manual door lock after the doors are closed.
Always unlock a door with a key or use the
RKE transmitter system. Pressing the unlock
button on the RKE transmitter disables
the theft-deterrent system. Unlocking a door
any other way will activate the alarm when
a door or the trunk is opened.
If you activate the alarm by accident, unlock the
driver’s door with your key. You can also turn
off the alarm by using the unlock button on
the RKE transmitter system, or by starting the car
with a valid key.
Changes or modications made to this system by
other than an authorized service facility could
void authorization to use the theft system.
Testing the Alarm
1. From inside the vehicle, roll down the
window, then get out of the vehicle, keeping
the door open.
2. From outside of the vehicle, with the door
open, lock the vehicle using the power door
lock or the RKE system and close the
door. Wait 30 seconds until the security lamp
goes off.
3. Reach in and unlock the door using the
manual lock and open the door. The horn
will sound and the hazard lights will ash.
You can turn off the alarm by unlocking the driver’s
door with your key, using the unlock button on
the RKE transmitter or by starting the car with a
valid key.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, check
to see if the horn works. The horn fuse may be
blown. To replace the fuse, seeFuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 452. If the fuse does not
need to be replaced, you may need to have your
vehicle serviced.
To reduce the possibility of theft, always arm the
theft-deterrent system when leaving your vehicle.

Resetting the TPMS Sensor
Identication Codes
Each TPMS sensor has a unique identication
code. Any time you replace one or more of
the TPMS sensors, rotate the vehicle’s tires, or
install a full-size spare that has a TPMS sensor,
the sensor’s identication codes will need to
be matched to the new tire/wheel position. Each
tire/wheel position is matched to the TPMS sensor
using a TPMS diagnostic tool. See your GM
dealer for service.
The TPMS sensors may also be matched to each
tire/wheel position by increasing or decreasing
the tire’s air pressure. When increasing the tire’s
air pressure, do not exceed the maximum tire
pressure indicated on the tire’s sidewall.
You will have two minutes to match the rst
tire/wheel position, and ve minutes overall, to
match all four tire/wheel positions. If it takes longer
than two minutes, to match the rst tire and
wheel, or more than ve minutes to match all
four tire and wheel positions the matching process
stops and you will need to start over.The TPMS matching process is outlined below:
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the ignition switch to RUN with the
engine off.
3. Press the Driver Information Center (DIC)
vehicle information button until the PRESS
VTO RELEARN TIRE POSITIONS displays.
4. Press the set/reset button to allow the system
to learn the tire positions. The horn will sound
twice to indicate that the TPMS is ready,
and then the message TIRE LEARNING
ACTIVE will display. The sensor matching
process can begin.
5. Start with the driver’s side front tire.
6. Remove the valve cap from the valve stem.
Activate the TPMS sensor by increasing or
decreasing the tire’s air pressure for
ve seconds, or until a horn chirp sounds. The
horn chirp, which may take up to 30 seconds,
conrms that the sensor identication code has
been matched to this tire position. To decrease
the tire’s air-pressure use the pointed end of
the valve cap, a pencil-style air pressure gage
or a key.
