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
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 Remote Key underDIC Operation and
Displays on page 187.

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.
Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle may have the optional content
theft-deterrent alarm system.
To activate the theft-deterrent system:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch
or the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
If you are using the RKE transmitter, the door
does not need to be open.
3. Close all doors.
Once armed, the alarm will go off if someone
tries to enter the vehicle without using the
RKE transmitter or a key or turns the ignition on
with an incorrect key. The horn will sound and the
turn signal lamps will ash for about two minutes.When the alarm is armed, the trunk may be
opened with the RKE transmitter. The power door
lock switches are disabled and the doors remain
locked. You must use your RKE transmitter or your
key to unlock the doors when the system is
armed.
Arming with the Power Lock Switch
The alarm system will arm when you use either
power lock switch to lock the doors while any door
or the trunk is open and the key is removed
from the ignition.
Arming with the RKE Transmitter
The alarm system will arm when you use your
RKE transmitter to lock the doors, if the key is not
in the ignition.
Disarming with the RKE Transmitter
The alarm system will disarm when you use your
RKE transmitter to unlock the doors.
The rst time a remote unlock command is
received, three ashes will be seen and three horn
chirps heard to indicate an alarm condition has
occurred since last arming.

Warning Lights, Gages, and
Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and gages
that may be on your vehicle. The pictures will
help you locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that
something is wrong before it becomes serious
enough to cause an expensive repair or
replacement. Paying attention to your warning
lights and gages could also save you or others
from injury.
Warning lights come on when there may be or is a
problem with one of your vehicle’s functions. As
you will see in the details on the next few
pages, some warning lights come on brie y when
you start the engine just to let you know they’re
working. If you are familiar with this section,
you should not be alarmed when this happens.Gages can indicate when there may be or is a
problem with one of your vehicle’s functions. Often
gages and warning lights work together to let you
know when there’s a problem with your vehicle.
When one of the warning lights comes on and
stays on when you are driving, or when one of the
gages shows there may be a problem, check
the section that tells you what to do about
it. Please follow this manual’s advice. Waiting to
do repairs can be costly – and even dangerous.
So please get to know your warning lights
and gages. They’re a big help.
Your vehicle may also have a Driver Information
Center (DIC) that works along with the warning
lights and gages. SeeDriver Information
Center (DIC) on page 186.
