release handle located on the trunk latch of the
trunk lid. This handle will glow following exposure to
light. If ever needed, pull the emergency trunk
release handle to open the trunk from the inside.

Windows
{CAUTION:
Leaving children, helpless adults, or pets
in a vehicle with the windows closed is
dangerous. They can be overcome by the
extreme heat and suffer permanent
injuries or even death from heat stroke.
Never leave a child, a helpless adult, or a
pet alone in a vehicle, especially with the
windows closed in warm or hot weather.

Power Windows
Use the switches on the
driver’s door to operate
each of the windows.
Push the switch down or up to open or close the
window. The top switches operate the front
windows, and the bottom switches operate the
rear windows.
Each passenger door also has a switch, located
on the armrest, that operates that window.
Push the switch rearward or forward to open or
close the window.
The power window switches only work if the ignition
is on or in ACC, or while Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) is active. SeeRetained Accessory
Power (RAP) on page 106for more information.
Express-Down Window
The driver’s window switch has an express-down
feature. This allows the window to open fully without
having to continuously hold the switch. Tap the
switch down, and the driver’s window will open a
small amount. Press the switch fully down and
release and the window will go all the way down.
To stop the window while it is lowering, press the
bottom of the switch. To raise the window,
press and hold the bottom of the switch.
Window Lockout

Sun Visors
To help block out glare, pull the sun visors down.
Pull on the inside edges of the sun visors to
swing them from the front windshield to the side
window.
Visor Vanity Mirror
Raise the cover on the top of the sun visor to
expose the vanity mirror. If the vehicle has lighted
vanity mirrors, the lamps come on when the
cover is opened.
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
The vehicle has a content theft-deterrent alarm
system.
A red light located on top
of the instrument panel,
toward the center of the
vehicle and near the
windshield, will ash
slowly when the system
is armed.
The theft-deterrent alarm system needs to be
activated through the Driver’s Information
Center (DIC). See “Theft Deterrent” under the
Personal Programming Mode Screens inDIC
Vehicle Customization on page 226. While armed,
the doors will not unlock with the power door lock
switch. The remote alarm will sound if someone
tampers with the trunk or enters the vehicle without
using the remote keyless entry transmitter or key to
unlock the doors. The horn will sound and the
headlamps will ash for up to two minutes. The
system will also cut off the fuel supply, preventing
the vehicle from being driven.
100

Arming with the Power Lock Switch
The vehicle’s content theft-deterrent alarm system
can be activated when the key is removed from
the ignition and the power door lock switch
of either the driver’s or front passenger’s door is
used to lock the vehicle. The door needs to
be in the open position when pressing the power
door lock switch. The alarm system will not
activate if the door is closed and the power door
lock switch is pressed. This system can be
activated through the Driver’s Information
Center (DIC). See “Lock Switch Arm” under the
Personal Programming Mode Screens inDIC
Vehicle Customization on page 226.
When the doors are locked using the power door
lock switch of either front door, the red light,
on top of the instrument panel will start ashing
indicating that the system is arming. After all
the doors are closed there will be a time delay and
then the red light will begin to ash at a very
slow rate indicating the system is armed.
Arming with the Remote Keyless Entry
Transmitter
The alarm system will arm when the remote keyless
entry transmitter is used to lock the doors after the
key is removed from the ignition. The red light will
come on to indicate that the system is arming. After
all doors are closed and locked, and after a time
delay, the red light will begin ashing at a very slow
rate to show the system is armed.
Arming Conrmation
A red light located on top of the instrument panel,
towards the center of the vehicle and near the
windshield, will ash slowly to conrm when
the system is armed.
Disarming with the Remote Keyless
Entry Transmitter
The alarm system will disarm when the remote
keyless entry transmitter is used to unlock
the doors. The red light will go out to show that
the system is disarmed.
101

Disarming with Your Key
The alarm system will disarm when the key is
used to unlock the doors. The red light will stop
ashing when the system is disarmed. If you would
like the key to disarm the alarm system, see
“Personal Programming Mode Screens” underDIC
Vehicle Customization on page 226for more
information.

PASS-Key®III uses a radio frequency transponder
in the key that matches a decoder in your
vehicle.
102

PASS-Key®III Operation
The vehicle is
equipped with
PASS-Key
®III
(Personalized
Automotive Security
System) theft-deterrent
system. PASS-Key
®III
is a passive
theft-deterrent
system.
This means nothing special needs to be done to
arm or disarm the system. It works when the key is
inserted or removed from the ignition.
PASS-Key
®III uses a transponder in the ignition
key that matches a decoder in the vehicle.
When the PASS-Key
®III system senses that the
wrong key has been inserted into the ignition, it
shuts down the vehicle’s starter and fuel systems.The starter will not work and fuel will stop owing to
the engine. If someone tries to start the vehicle
again with the wrong key, the vehicle will not start.
Anyone using a trial-and-error method to start the
vehicle will be discouraged to do so because of the
high number of electrical key codes.
When trying to start the vehicle, if the engine does
not start and the STARTING DISABLED DUE TO
THEFT SYSTEM warning message on the Driver
Information Center (DIC) comes on, 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 460.Ifthe
engine still does not start with the other key, the
vehicle needs service. If the vehicle does start, the
rst key may be faulty. See your dealer who can
service the PASS-Key
®III to have a new key made.
In an emergency, contact Roadside Assistance.
SeeRoadside Assistance Program on page 498for
more information.
103

It is possible for the PASS-Key®III decoder
to accept the transponder value of a new or
replacement key. Up to 10 keys may be
programmed for the vehicle. If all the programmed
keys are lost or do not operate, see your GM dealer
or a locksmith who can service PASS-Key
®III to
have keys made and programmed to the system.
Canadian Owners: If all the keys are lost or
damaged, only a GM dealer can service
PASS-Key
®III to have new keys made and
programmed to the system.
The following procedure is for programming a new
or replacement key when you have at least one
already programmed key. To program the new key
do the following:
1. Verify that the new key has PK3 stamped on it.
2. Insert the master key in the ignition and start
the engine. If the engine will not start, see
your dealer for service.
3. After the engine has started, turn the key to
OFF, and remove the key.4. Insert the key to be programmed and turn it to
RUN within ve seconds of removing the
original key.
5. The STARTING DISABLED DUE TO THEFT
SYSTEM warning message on the DIC will
turn off, once the key has been programmed.
It may not be apparent that the SERVICE
THEFT SYSTEM warning message went on
due to how quickly the key is programmed.
6. Repeat Steps 1 through 5 if additional keys
are to be programmed.
If the STARTING DISABLED DUE TO THEFT
SYSTEM warning message appears and stays on
the DIC while the vehicle is being driven, the
engine will be able to be restarted if it is turned
off. Your PASS-Key
®III system, however, is
not working properly and must be serviced by
your dealer. The vehicle is not protected by
the PASS-Key
®III system at this time.
If the PASS-Key
®III key is lost or stolen, see
your dealer or a locksmith who can service
PASS-Key
®III to have a new key made.
