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.

Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your RKE
transmitter should last about four years.
The battery is weak if the transmitter will not work
at the normal range in any location. If you have
to get close to your vehicle before the transmitter
works, it is probably time to change the battery.
The REPLACE BATTERY IN REMOTE KEY
message in the vehicle’s DIC will display if the
RKE transmitter battery is low. See “REPLACE
BATTERY IN REMOTE KEY” underDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 246for additional
information.
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 at object with a thin edge into the
notch on the side of the transmitter and
separate the bottom half from the top half.
2. Remove the old battery, but do not use a
metal object to do this.
3. Slide the new battery into the transmitter with
the positive side of the battery facing down.
Use a type CR2032 battery, or equivalent type.

Programmable Automatic Door
Locks
Your vehicle is programmed so that, when the
doors are closed, the ignition is on, and the shift
lever is moved out of PARK (P), all the doors will
lock. The doors will unlock every time you stop the
vehicle and move the shift lever into PARK (P).
If someone needs to get out while your vehicle is
not in PARK (P), have the person use the
manual lock knob or power door lock switch.
When the door is closed again, it will not
lock automatically. Use the manual lock knob or
power door lock switch to lock the door.
With the vehicle in PARK (P) and the ignition on,
the door locks can be programmed through
prompts displayed on the Driver Information Center
(DIC). These prompts allow the driver to choose
various lock and unlock settings. For programming
information, seeDIC Vehicle Customization on
page 259.
Rear Door Security Locks
Your vehicle has security locks that prevent
passengers from opening the rear doors from the
inside.
The rear door security locks are located on the
inside edge of each rear door. You must open the
rear doors to access them.
To assist you in nding the lock, your vehicle will
have one of the following:
To use these locks, do the following:
1. Turn the knob to the vertical position to engage
the lock.
2. Close the door.
3. Do the same for the other rear door.

Ignition Positions
With the ignition key in the ignition, the key can be
turned to four different positions:
Notice:Using a tool to force the key from the
ignition switch could cause damage or
break the key. Use the correct key and turn the
key only with your hand. Make sure the key
is in all the way. If none of this works,
then your vehicle needs service.A (OFF):This is the only position in which the
ignition key can be inserted or removed. This
position locks the ignition and transaxle. It is a
theft-deterrent feature.
B (ACCESSORY):This position lets the radio and
windshield wipers operate while the engine is
off. To use ACCESSORY, turn the key clockwise.
C (RUN):This position is where the key returns
to after the vehicle is started. This position displays
some of the warning and indicator lights.
The battery could be drained if you leave the key
in the ACCESSORY or RUN position with the
engine off. You may not be able to start your
vehicle if the battery is allowed to drain for
an extended period of time.
D (START):This position starts the engine.
A warning chime will sound and the Driver
Information Center (DIC) will display DRIVER
DOOR OPEN when the driver’s door is opened if
the ignition is in OFF, ACCESSORY and the
key is in the ignition. SeeDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 246for more information.

Mirrors
Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror
with Intellibeam™, OnStar
®, and
Compass
Your vehicle may have an automatic dimming
rearview mirror with OnStar®and a compass
display. For more information, seeOnStar®
System on page 139. For more information on
Intellibeam™, see “Intellibeam Intelligent
High-Beam Headlamp Control System” under
Exterior Lamps on page 193.
The mirror includes an eight-point compass
display in the upper right corner of the mirror face.
When on, the compass automatically calibrates
as the vehicle is driven.
Automatic Dimming
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic
dimming rearview mirror. The automatic dimming
feature is activated whenever the vehicle is
turned on and dims only during nighttime driving.
Compass Operation
AUTO3:Press and hold the “auto highbeam”
button for approximately three seconds to turn
the compass on or off.
When the ignition and the compass feature are
on, the compass will show two character boxes for
about two seconds. After two seconds, the
mirror will display the compass heading.
Compass Calibration
If after two seconds the display does not show the
correct direction, (N for North for example),
there may be a strong magnetic eld interfering
with the compass. Such interference may be
caused by a magnetic antenna mount, magnetic
note pad holder, or a similar magnetic item.
The compass can be placed in calibration mode
manually by pressing and holding the “auto
highbeam” button for approximately nine seconds
untilaCisshown in the compass display.
The mirror can then be calibrated by driving the
vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the
display reads a direction.
132

Compass Variance
The mirror is set to zone eight upon leaving the
factory. It will be necessary to adjust the compass
to compensate for compass variance if the
vehicle is driven outside zone eight. Under certain
circumstances, such as a long distance,
cross-country trip, it will be necessary to adjust the
compass variance.
Compass variance is the difference between
earth’s magnetic north and true geographic north.
If the mirror is not adjusted to account for zone
changes, the compass could give false readings.
To adjust for zone changes, do the following:
1. Find your current location and variance zone
number on the zone map that follows.
2. Press and hold the “auto highbeam” button
approximately six seconds until a zone number
appears in the display.
3. Once the zone number appears in the display,
press the “auto highbeam” button quickly until
you reach the correct zone number. Stop
pressing the button and the mirror will return to
normal operation. If C appears in the compass
window, the compass needs calibration. See
“Compass Calibration” listed previously.
