Keys
{CAUTION:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the
ignition key is dangerous for many
reasons. They could operate the power
windows or other controls or even make
the vehicle move. The children or others
could be badly injured or even killed.
Do not leave the keys in a vehicle with
children.
99

There is a double-sided
key that can be used for
the ignition, all door
locks, and the tailgate.
When a new vehicle is delivered, the dealer
provides the owner with a pair of identical keys
and a key code number.
The key code number tells your dealer or a
qualied locksmith how to make extra keys. Keep
this number in a safe place. If you lose your
keys, you will be able to have new ones made
easily using this number. Your dealer should also
have this number.
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
the GM Roadside Assistance Center. See
Roadside Assistance Program on page 462.

system, it 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:

100

Changes or modications 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
is necessary. See “Battery Replacement”
underRemote Keyless Entry (RKE) System
Operation on page 101.
If you are still having trouble, see your dealer
or a qualied technician for service.
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation
If your vehicle has this feature you can lock
and unlock your doors and disarm or arm your
theft-deterrent system from about 3 feet (1 m) up
to 30 feet (9 m) away using the remote keyless
entry transmitter. SeeContent Theft-Deterrent
on page 112for additional information.
UNLOCK:Press this
button to unlock the
driver’s door and turn
on the interior lamps.
The parking lamps may
also ash, and the
horn may chirp, when
this button is pressed.
Press the unlock button again within
three seconds and all of the doors will unlock.
101

LOCK:Press this button to lock all the doors.
The parking lamps may also ash and the
horn may chirp when this button is pressed.
If a door is open or ajar when the lock button is
pressed, the horn will chirp several times to let you
know the doors did not lock and the content
theft-deterrent system is not armed. Pressing the
lock button again while the horn is chirping or within
three seconds after the horn stops sounding, the
doors will lock but the content theft-deterrent
system will not arm until the opened door is closed.
You can program different feedback modes
through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
To program the feedback modes, see “Remote
Keyless Entry Feedback” underDIC Controls and
Displays on page 194.
L(Panic):Press this button to make the horn
sound and the headlamps and taillamps ash
for up to 30 seconds. To turn them off again, do
one of these three things: wait for 30 seconds;
press the panic button again; or start the vehicle.
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. Remember to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you go to your dealer.
When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining
transmitters must also be matched. Once your
dealer 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.
102

Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote
keyless entry transmitter should last about
two years.
You can tell 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.
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, do the following:
1. Insert a thin coin, or similar object, in the slot
between the covers of the transmitter housing.
Gently pry the transmitter apart.
2. Remove and replace the battery with a
three-volt CR2032 or equivalent battery.
3. Align the covers and snap them together.
4. Check the operation of the transmitter.
103

Doors and Locks
Door Locks
{CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
Passengers, especially children, can
easily open the doors and fall out of
a moving vehicle. When a door is
locked, the handle will not open it.
You increase the chance of being
thrown out of the vehicle in a crash
if the doors are not locked. So, wear
safety belts properly and lock the
doors whenever you drive.
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)

Young children who get into unlocked
vehicles may be unable to get out.
A child can be overcome by extreme
heat and can suffer permanent injuries
or even death from heat stroke.
Always lock your vehicle whenever
you leave it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an
unlocked door when you slow down
or stop your vehicle. Locking your
doors can help prevent this from
happening.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your
vehicle.
To lock or unlock the door from the outside, use
the key in the driver’s or front passenger’s door
or press the lock or unlock button on the remote
keyless entry (RKE) transmitter.
