theft-deterrent system. SeeContent
Theft-Deterrent on page 2-11for
additional information.
UNLOCK:Press to unlock only the
driver’s door. The interior lamps
come on, the parking lamps may
ash, and the horn may sound.
Press UNLOCK again within
three seconds to unlock all the doors.
Pressing UNLOCK may disarm
the content theft-deterrent system.
SeeContent Theft-Deterrent on
page 2-11for additional information.
Different feedback choices can be
programmed through the Driver
Information Center (DIC). See
“Remote Keyless Entry Feedback”
underDIC Operation and Displays
on page 3-34.
L(Panic):Press to activate the

Programming Transmitters to
the Vehicle
Only RKE transmitters
programmed to this vehicle will
work. If a transmitter is lost
or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased and programmed
through your dealer/retailer.
When the replacement transmitter
is programmed to this vehicle,
all remaining transmitters must also
be reprogrammed. Any lost or
stolen transmitters will no longer
work once the new transmitter
is programmed. Each vehicle can
have up to four transmitters
programmed to it.
Battery Replacement
The battery in the transmitter is
weak and should be changed if it
does not work at the normal range
in any location.
2-4 Features and Controls

OnStar service cannot work unless
the vehicle is in a place where
OnStar has an agreement with a
wireless service provider for service
in that area. OnStar service also
cannot work unless the vehicle is in
a place where the wireless service
provider OnStar has hired for
that area has coverage, network
capacity and reception when
the service is needed, and
technology that is compatible
with the OnStar service. Not all
services are available everywhere,
particularly in remote or enclosed
areas, or at all times.
Location information about the
vehicle is only available if the GPS
satellite signals are unobstructed
and available.
The vehicle must have a working
electrical system, including adequate
battery power, for the OnStar
equipment to operate. There are
other problems OnStar cannotcontrol that may prevent OnStar
from providing OnStar service at
any particular time or place.
Some examples are damage to
important parts of the vehicle in a
crash, hills, tall buildings, tunnels,
weather or wireless phone network
congestion.
Your Responsibility
Increase the volume of the radio
if the OnStar advisor cannot
be heard. If the light next to the
OnStar buttons is red, the system
may not be functioning properly.
Press the OnStar button and request
a vehicle diagnostic. If the light
appears clear (no light is appearing),
your OnStar subscription has
expired and all services have been
deactivated. Press the OnStar
button to conrm that the OnStar
equipment is active.Universal Home
Remote System
The Universal Home Remote
System provides a way to
replace up to three hand-held
radio-frequency (RF) transmitters
used to activate devices such
as garage door openers, security
systems, and home lighting.
This device complies with Part 15
of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two
conditions:
1. This device may not cause
harmful interference.
2. This device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause
undesired operation.
The FCC Grant of Equipment
Authorization Certicate number
is CB2SAHL3.

Checking Engine Oil
It is a good idea to check the
engine oil every time you get fuel.
In order to get an accurate reading,
the oil must be warm and the
vehicle must be on level ground.
The engine oil dipstick handle
is a yellow loop. SeeEngine
Compartment Overview on
page 5-10for the location of the
engine oil dipstick.
1. Turn off the engine and give the
oil several minutes to drain back
into the oil pan. If you do not
do this, the oil dipstick might not
show the actual level.
2. Pull out the dipstick and clean it
with a paper towel or cloth,
then push it back in all the way.
Remove it again, keeping the
tip down, and check the level.
Service and Appearance Care 5-13

When parts of the braking system
are replaced — for example,
when the brake linings wear down
and new ones are installed — be
sure to get new approved
replacement parts. If this is not
done, the brakes might not work
properly. For example, if someone
puts in brake linings that are
wrong for the vehicle, the balance
between the front and rear brakes
can change — for the worse.
The braking performance expected
can change in many other ways
if the wrong replacement brake parts
are installed.Battery
This vehicle has a maintenance free
battery. When it is time for a new
battery, see your dealer/retailer
for one that has the replacement
number shown on the original
battery’s label. SeeEngine
Compartment Overview on
page 5-10for battery location.
Warning:Battery posts, terminals,
and related accessories contain
lead and lead compounds,
chemicals known to the State of
California to cause cancer and
reproductive harm. Wash hands
after handling.
Vehicle Storage
{CAUTION
Batteries have acid that can burn
you and gas that can explode.
You can be badly hurt if you
are not careful. SeeJump
Starting on page 5-34for tips
on working around a battery
without getting hurt.
Infrequent Usage: If the vehicle is
driven infrequently, remove the
black, negative (−) cable from the
battery. This helps keep the battery
from running down.
Extended Storage: For extended
storage of the vehicle, remove
the black, negative (−) cable from
the battery or use a battery
trickle charger. This helps maintain
the charge of the battery over
an extended period of time.
Service and Appearance Care 5-33

Notice:If you leave the radio or
other accessories on during
the jump starting procedure, they
could be damaged. The repairs
would not be covered by the
warranty. Always turn off the
radio and other accessories when
jump starting the vehicle.
3. Turn off the ignition on both
vehicles. Unplug unnecessary
accessories plugged into
the cigarette lighter or the
accessory power outlets. Turn off
the radio and all lamps that
are not needed. This will avoid
sparks and help save both
batteries. And it could save
the radio!4. Open the hoods and locate
the batteries on both vehicles.
You will use the positive (+)
battery terminal and the remote
negative (−) jump starting
terminal to jump start your
vehicle. To access the
positive (+) battery terminal,
open the terminal cover.
SeeEngine Compartment
Overview on page 5-10for
more information on the
terminal locations.
{CAUTION
Using a match near a battery can
cause battery gas to explode.
People have been hurt doing this,
and some have been blinded. Use
a ashlight if you need more light.
(Continued)
CAUTION (Continued)
Be sure the batteries have
enough water. You do not need
to add water to the ACDelco
®
battery (or batteries) installed in
your new vehicle. But if a battery
has ller caps, be sure the right
amount of uid is there. If it is
low, add water to take care of that
rst. If you do not, explosive gas
could be present.
Battery uid contains acid that
can burn you. Do not get it on
you. If you accidentally get it in
your eyes or on your skin, ush
the place with water and get
medical help immediately.
