{CAUTION:
When an airbag inates, there may be
dust in the air. This dust could cause
breathing problems for people with a
history of asthma or other breathing
trouble. To avoid this, everyone in the
vehicle should get out as soon as it is
safe to do so. If you have breathing
problems but cannot get out of the
vehicle after an airbag inates, then get
fresh air by opening a window or a door.
If you experience breathing problems
following an airbag deployment, you
should seek medical attention.
Your vehicle has a feature that may automatically
unlock the doors, turn the interior lamps on, and
turn the hazard warning flashers on when the
airbags inflate. You can lock the doors again, turn
the interior lamps off, and turn the hazard warning
flashers off by using the controls for those features.In many crashes severe enough to inflate an
airbag, windshields are broken by vehicle
deformation. Additional windshield breakage
may also occur from the right front passenger
airbag.
•Airbags are designed to inflate only once.
After they inflate, you will need some new
parts for the airbag system. If you do not get
them, the airbag system will not be there
to help protect you in another crash. A new
system will include airbag modules and
possibly other parts. The service manual
for your vehicle covers the need to replace
other parts.
•Your vehicle has a crash sensing and
diagnostic module which records information
after a crash. SeeVehicle Data Collection
and Event Data Recorders on page 430.
•Let only qualified technicians work on the
airbag system. Improper service can mean
that an airbag system will not work properly.
See your dealer for service.

Section 2 Features and Controls
101

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
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 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 424.

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, and
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, and
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
or a qualified technician for service.

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation
Your vehicle may have this feature.
Q(Lock):Press this
button once to lock all of
the doors. The parking
lamps will flash and
the interior lamps
will turn on briefly. Press
the lock button again
within five seconds and
the parking lamps
will flash and the horn
will chirp briefly.
W(Unlock):Press this button once to unlock the
driver’s door. The parking lamps will flash twice
and the interior lamps will turn on. Press the
unlock button again within five seconds to unlock
the remaining doors. The parking lamps will
flash.
L(Panic Alarm):The remote keyless entry
transmitter comes equipped with an instant panic
alarm. To use the alarm, press the horn symbol
while the ignition is turned off. The horn will sound
and both the interior and exterior lamps will
flash for up to thirty seconds. To stop the instant
panic alarm, press the panic button again,
wait for thirty seconds, or start the vehicle.
j(Cargo Door):Press this button to unlock the
cargo doors only.
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.
105

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 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.
