Matching Transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle
Each keyless access transmitter is coded to prevent
another transmitter from working with your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased through your dealer/retailer. Remember
to bring any remaining transmitters with you when you
go to your dealer/retailer. Once your dealer/retailer
has coded the new transmitter, the lost transmitter will
not work with your vehicle. Each vehicle can have
a maximum of four transmitters matched to it.
To match a new transmitter to your vehicle when you
have a recognized transmitter: Two recognized
transmitters are required for Canadian owners.
1. The vehicle must be off.
2. Have the recognized and new, unrecognized
transmitters on your person.
3. Go to the rear of the vehicle and insert the vehicle
key into the key cylinder located on the lower
rear fascia on the driver’s side of the vehicle.
SeeTrunk on page 2-13for more information on
the key cylinder.
4. Open the trunk.
5. Turn the key ve times within ve seconds.
6. The Driver Information Center (DIC) will display
READY FOR FOB #X. X can be 2, 3 or 4.7. Place the new, unrecognized transmitter in the
glove box transmitter pocket with the buttons
facing to the right.
8. Once the transmitter is programmed, a beep will
sound. The DIC will display READY FOR #X,
where X can be 3 or 4, or MAX # FOBS LEARNED.
9. Press the Acc. button.

The Canadian immobilizer standard requires Canadian
owners to see their dealer/retailer for matching new
transmitters when two recognized transmitters are not
available. United States owners are permitted to match a
new transmitter to their vehicle when a recognized
transmitter is not available. The procedure will require
three ten minute cycles to complete the matching
process. Do the following:
1. The vehicle must be off.
2. Place the new, unrecognized transmitter in the
glove box transmitter pocket with the buttons
facing to the right.3. Go to the rear of the vehicle and insert the vehicle
key into the key cylinder located on the lower
rear fascia on the driver’s side of the vehicle.
SeeTrunk on page 2-13for more information on
the key cylinder.
4. Open the trunk.
5. Turn the key ve times within ve seconds.
6. The DIC message will display OFF-ACC TO LEARN.
7. Press the Acc. button.
8. The DIC will read WAIT 10 MINUTES and will
count down to zero, one minute at a time.
9. The DIC will display OFF-ACC TO LEARN again.
10. Press the Acc. button.
11. The DIC will read WAIT 10 MINUTES and will
count down to zero, one minute at a time.
12. The DIC will display OFF-ACC TO LEARN again.
13. Press the Acc. button.
14. The DIC will read WAIT 10 MINUTES and will
count down to zero, one minute at a time.
15. A beep will sound and the DIC will read READY
FOR FOB #1. At this time, all previously known
transmitters have been erased.
16. Once the transmitter is recognized and
programmed, a beep will sound and the DIC will
display READY FOR FOB #2.
2-8

If you have additional transmitters to program, take
transmitter 1 out of the transmitter pocket and place
transmitter 2 in the pocket. This can be done repeatedly
until up to four transmitters have been programmed.
The DIC will then display MAX # FOBS LEARNED and
will exit the programming mode.
When you are done programming transmitters, press
the Acc. button.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your keyless access
transmitter should last about three 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.
A weak battery may also cause the DIC to display
NO FOB DETECTED when you try to start the vehicle.
If this happens, place the transmitter in the glove box
transmitter pocket with the buttons facing to the right.
Then, with the vehicle in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N),
press the brake pedal and the START button. Although
this will start the vehicle, it is recommended that you
replace the transmitter battery as soon as possible.
The DIC may display FOB BATTERY LOW.
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.1. Insert a at object with a thin edge into the slot on
the side of the transmitter and separate the bottom
half from the top half.
2. Gently pull the battery out of the transmitter.
3. Put the new battery in the transmitter, positive (+)
side down. Use a battery, type CR2032, or
equivalent.
4. Reassemble the transmitter. Make sure to put it
together so water will not get in.
5. Test the transmitter.

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 it
will not open. 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.
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.To lock or unlock your vehicle from the outside, use the
keyless access transmitter and press the appropriate
lock or unlock button. You may also unlock and open the
door passively when you squeeze the door handle
sensor, as long as you have your transmitter with you.
Passive entry occurs when the door handle sensor
is pressed and the vehicle recognizes your keyless
access transmitter. When the passenger door is opened
rst, the driver’s door will also become unlocked.
From the inside, use the power door lock buttons located
at the top of the door panel near the window. See
Power Door Locks on page 2-12for more information.
To open a door from the inside, press the button in front
of the door handle and push the door open.

OnStar service that involves location information about
your vehicle cannot work unless GPS satellite signals
are unobstructed and available in that place as well.
Your vehicle must have a working electrical system
(including adequate battery power) for the OnStar
equipment to operate. There are other problems OnStar
cannot control that may prevent OnStar from providing
OnStar service to you at any particular time or place.
Some examples are damage to important parts of your
vehicle in an accident, hills, tall buildings, tunnels,
weather or wireless phone network congestion.
Your Responsibility
You may need to increase the volume of your radio
to hear the OnStar advisor. If the light next to the
OnStar buttons is red, this means that your system is
not functioning properly and should be checked by your
dealer/retailer. If the light appears clear (no light is
appearing), your OnStar subscription has expired.
You can always press the OnStar button to conrm
that your OnStar equipment is active.
