This vehicle has
one double-sided key
for the ignition and door
locks. It will fit with
either side up.
When a new vehicle is delivered, the dealer/retailer
provides the owner with a pair of identical keys
and a bar-coded tag.The bar-coded tag has a code on it that tells your
dealer/retailer or a qualified locksmith how to
make extra keys. Keep this tag in a safe place. If
you lose your keys, you’ll be able to have new
ones made easily using this tag.
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
GM Roadside Assistance Center. SeeRoadside
Assistance Program on page 430.

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System
If the vehicle has a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
system operates on a radio frequency subject
to Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Rules and with Industry Canada.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following
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
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
Changes or modifications to this system by other
than an authorized service facility could void
authorization to use this equipment.At times you may notice a decrease in range. This
is normal for any RKE system. If the transmitter
does not work or if you have to stand closer
to your vehicle for the transmitter to work, try this:
•Check the distance. You may be too far
from your vehicle. You may need to stand
closer during rainy or snowy weather.
•Check the location. Other vehicles or objects
may be blocking the signal. Take a few steps
to the left or right, hold the transmitter
higher, and try again.
•Check to determine if battery replacement or
resynchronization is necessary. See “Battery
Replacement” and “Resynchronization”
underRemote Keyless Entry (RKE) System
Operation on page 105.
•If you are still having trouble, see your
dealer/retailer or a qualified technician

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/retailer. Remember to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you go to your
dealer/retailer. When the dealer/retailer matches
the replacement transmitter to your vehicle,
any remaining transmitters must also be matched.
Once your dealer/retailer 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.
Resynchronization
Resynchronization may be necessary due to the
security method used by this system. The
transmitter does not send the same signal twice to
the receiver. The receiver will not respond to a
signal that has been sent previously. This prevents
anyone from recording and playing back the
signal from the transmitter.To resynchronize your transmitter, stand close to
your vehicle and press and hold the lock and
unlock buttons on the transmitter at the same time
for seven seconds. The door locks should cycle
to confirm synchronization. If the locks do not
cycle, see your dealer/retailer for service.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote
keyless entry transmitter should last about
four 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.
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 keyless entry
transmitter, do the following:
1. Use an object like a coin to pry open the
transmitter.
2. Once the transmitter is separated, use an
object like a pencil to remove the old
battery. Do not use a metal object.3. Remove and replace the battery, positive (+)
side up.
4. Snap the transmitter back together tightly to
be sure no moisture can enter.
5. Press and hold the lock and unlock buttons
on the remote keyless entry transmitter for
seven seconds to resynchronize the
transmitter.
6. Check the operation of the transmitter.

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.
Passlock®
Your vehicle is equipped with the Passlock®
theft-deterrent system.
Passlock
®is a passive theft-deterrent system.
Passlock®enables fuel if the ignition lock cylinder
is turned with a valid key. If a correct key is not
used or the ignition lock cylinder is tampered with,
fuel is disabled.During normal operation, the SECURITY light will
go off approximately five seconds after the key
is turned to RUN. SeeSecurity Light on page 183.
If the engine stalls and the SECURITY light flashes,
wait until the light stops flashing before trying to
restart the engine. Remember to release the key
from START as soon as the engine starts.
If the engine is running and the SECURITY light
comes on, you will be able to restart the engine if
you turn the engine off. However, your Passlock
®
system is not working properly and must be
serviced by your dealer/retailer. Your vehicle is not
protected by Passlock
®at this time. You may
also want to check the fuse. SeeFuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 393. See your dealer/retailer
for service.
Do not leave the key or device that disarms
or deactivates the theft deterrent system in
the vehicle.
