2007 GMC ACADIA light

/(Remote Start):This button will be on the
RKE transmitter if you have remote start.
To start the vehicle using the remote start feature,
do the following:
1. Aim the transmitter at the vehicle.
2. Press and release the transmitter’s lock
button, then immediately press and hold
the transmitter’s remote start button until the
turn signal lights ash. If you cannot see
the vehicle’s lights, press and hold the remote
start button for at least four seconds. The
vehicle’s doors will lock. Pressing the remote
start button again, after the vehicle has
started, will turn off the ignition.
When the vehicle starts, the parking lamps will
turn on and remain on while the vehicle is
running.
3. If it is the rst remote start since the vehicle
has been driven, repeat these steps while the
engine is still running, to extend the time
by 10 minutes for the engine to continue to
run. Remote start can be extended one time.
After entering the vehicle during a remote start,
insert and turn the key to the ON position to drive
the vehicle.If the vehicle is left running it will automatically
shut off after 10 minutes unless a time extension
has been done.
To manually shut off a remote start, do any of the
following:
Aim the RKE transmitter at the vehicle and
press the remote start button until the
parking lamps turn off.
Turn on the hazard warning ashers.
Turn the ignition switch on and then off.
The vehicle can be remote started two separate
times between driving sequences. The engine will
run for 10 minutes after each remote start.
Or, you can extend the engine run time by another
10 minutes within the rst 10 minute remote
start time frame, and before the engine stops.
For example, if the lock button and then the remote
start buttons are pressed again after the vehicle has
been running for ve minutes, 10 minutes are
added, allowing the engine to run for 15 minutes.
The additional 10 minutes are considered a
second remote vehicle start.

The liftgate can also be closed by pressing the
power liftgate button next to the liftgate latch. Press
the button a second time during liftgate operation to
reverse that operation.
The power liftgate may be temporarily disabled
under extreme temperatures, or under low battery
conditions. If this occurs, the liftgate can still be
operated manually.
If you shift the transmission out of PARK (P) while
the power function is in progress, the liftgate power
function will continue to completion. If you shift the
transmission out of PARK (P) and accelerate beforethe power liftgate latches closed, the liftgate may
reverse to the open position. Cargo could fall out of
the vehicle. Always make sure the power liftgate is
closed and latched before you drive away.
If you power open the liftgate and the liftgate
support struts have lost pressure, the lights will
ash and a chime will sound. The liftgate will stay
open temporarily, then slowly close. See your
dealer/retailer for service before using the liftgate.
Obstacle Detection Features
If the liftgate encounters an obstacle during a power
open or close cycle, a warning chime will sound and
the liftgate will automatically reverse direction to the
full closed or open position. After removing the
obstruction, the power liftgate operation can be
used again. If the liftgate encounters multiple
obstacles on the same power cycle, the power
function will deactivate, and you must manually
open or close the liftgate. The LIFTGATE OPEN
warning message in the Driver Information Center
(DIC) will indicate that the liftgate is open. After
removing the obstructions, manually open the
liftgate to the full open position or close the liftgate
to the fully closed and latched position. The liftgate
will now resume normal power operation.

Your vehicle has pinch sensors located on the
side edges of the liftgate. If an object is caught
between the liftgate and the body and presses
against this sensor, the liftgate will reverse
direction and open fully. The liftgate will remain
open until it is activated again or closed manually.
Do not force the liftgate open or closed during
a power cycle.
Manual Operation of Power Liftgate
To change the liftgate to
manual operation,
toggle the switch on the
center console to the
disable position
indicated by a circle.
With the power liftgate disabled and all of the
doors unlocked, the liftgate can be manually
opened and closed.To open the liftgate, press the touchpad on the
handle on the outside of the liftgate, and lift
the gate open. To close the liftgate, use the pull
cup or pull strap to lower the liftgate and close.
The liftgate latch will power close. Always close the
liftgate before driving.
If the RKE button or the power close button on the
liftgate is pressed while power operation is
disabled, the lights will ash three times, but the
liftgate will not move.
It is not recommended that you drive with the
liftgate open, however, if you must drive with the
liftgate open, the liftgate should be set to manual
operation — the center console switch set to the
disable position.
The liftgate has an electric latch. If the battery is
disconnected or has low voltage, the liftgate
will not open. The liftgate will resume operation
when the battery is reconnected and charged.
If the battery is properly connected with adequate
voltage, the switch is not disabled, and the liftgate
still will not function, your vehicle should be taken to
a dealer/retailer for service.

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 a content theft-deterrent
alarm system.To activate the theft-deterrent system, do one of
the following:
Press the lock button on the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter when any door is open.
The security light should come on and ash.
When the door is closed, the security light will
stop ashing and stay on solid and then go off
after approximately 30 seconds. The content
theft deterrent alarm is not armed until the
security light goes off.
If the delayed locking feature is active, the
alarm will not be activated until all doors are
closed and the security light goes off.
Press the lock button on the RKE transmitter
when the driver door is closed.
The security light will come on solid for
approximately 30 seconds and then go off. The
content theft deterrent alarm is not armed until
the security light goes off.
118

If a door is opened without using the key in the
driver’s door cylinder or the RKE transmitter, a
ten second pre-alarm will occur. The horn will chirp
and the lights will ash. If the key is not placed in
the ignition and turned to START or the door is not
unlocked by pressing the unlock button on the RKE
transmitter during the ten second pre-alarm, the
alarm will go off. Your vehicle’s headlamps will ash
and the horn will sound for about two minutes, then
will turn off to save the battery power.
The theft-deterrent system will not activate if you
lock the doors with a key or the manual door
lock. It activates only if you use the RKE
transmitter or the power door lock switch from an
open door. You should also remember that
you can start your vehicle with the correct ignition
key if the alarm has been set off.Here is how to avoid setting off the alarm by
accident:
If you do not want to activate the
theft-deterrent system, the vehicle should be
locked with the door key after the doors
are closed.
Always unlock a door with the RKE transmitter.
Unlocking a door any other way will set off the
alarm if the system has been armed.
If you set off the alarm by accident, turn off the
alarm by pressing unlock on the RKE transmitter or
by placing the key in the ignition and turning it
to START.
119

Testing the Alarm
To test the alarm:
1. From inside the vehicle, lower the driver’s
window and open the driver’s door.
2. Activate the system by locking the doors with
the RKE transmitter.
3. Get out of the vehicle, close the door and wait
for the security light to go out.
4. Then reach in through the window, unlock the
door with the manual door lock and open the
door. This should set off the alarm.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, but the
vehicle’s headlamps ash, check to see if the horn
works. The horn fuse may be blown. To replace the
fuse, seeFuses and Circuit Breakers on page 490.
If the alarm does not sound or the vehicle’s
headlamps do not ash, see your dealer/retailer for
service.

Changes or modications to this system by other
than an authorized service facility could void
authorization to use this equipment.
PASS-Key
®III+ uses a radio frequency
transponder in the key that matches a decoder in
your vehicle.
PASS-Key®III+ Operation
Your vehicle has PASS-Key®III+ (Personalized
Automotive Security System) theft-deterrent
system. PASS-Key
®III+ is a passive
theft-deterrent system. This means you do not
have to do anything special to arm or disarm the
system. It works when you transition the key
to ON, ACCESSORY or START from the OFF
position.
When the PASS-Key
®III+ system senses that
someone is using the wrong key, it prevents the
vehicle from starting. Anyone using a
trial-and-error method to start the vehicle will be
discouraged because of the high number of
electrical key codes.If the engine does not start and the security light
on the instrument panel comes on when trying
to start the vehicle, 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 490. 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/retailer who can service the
PASS-Key
®III+ to have a new key made. In an
emergency, contact Roadside Assistance.
It is possible for the PASS-Key
®III+ decoder to
learn the transponder value of a new or
replacement key. Up to nine additional keys may be
programmed for the vehicle. The following
procedure is for programming additional keys only.
If all the currently programmed keys are lost or do
not operate, you must see your dealer/retailer or a
locksmith who can service PASS-Key
®III+ to have
keys made and programmed to the system.
