2007 HUMMER H3 Owners Manual

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 operating
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 89.
If you are still having trouble, see your dealer
or a qualied technician for service.
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation
You can lock and unlock the vehicle’s doors and
disarm or arm the theft-deterrent system from
about 3 feet (1 m) up to 30 feet (9 m) away using
the remote keyless entry transmitter. See
Content Theft-Deterrent on page 98for 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.
89

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 doors will lock, but the theft-deterrent
system will not arm until the open 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 192.
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, 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.
90

Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in the 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 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.

Passengers, especially children, can
easily open the doors and fall out of a

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.

Programmable Automatic
Door Locks
If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, it is
programmed from the factory to lock the doors
automatically when the shift lever is moved out of
PARK (P). All the doors will unlock when the
shift lever is moved back into PARK (P).
If your vehicle has a manual transmission, it is
programmed from the factory to lock the
doors automatically when the vehicle speed is
greater than 15 mph (24 km/h). The doors
will unlock when the key is removed from the
ignition.
To personalize the automatic door locks, see
“Automatic Door Locks” underDIC Controls and
Displays on page 192.

This feature protects you from locking your key in
the vehicle when the key is in the ignition and
a door is open.
If the power door lock switch is pressed when a
door is open and the key is in the ignition, all of the
doors will lock and then the driver’s door will
unlock. A chime will sound to indicate that the key
has been left in the ignition.
