Key Code
Your vehicle will be equipped with a
standard production random key
code if one of the optional fleet
codes was not ordered.
A maximum of 10 keys may be
learned for a vehicle immobilizer
(Passkey III+) with a random key
code. Vehicles with the specific fleet
key option (SEO 6E2 or SEO 6E8)
may have an unlimited number of
keys learned using one of the
original master keys. For specific key code information,
contact your dealer.
Your vehicles will be equipped with
a key cylinder in the ignition lock
and the driver door only. Remote
keyless entry (RKE) is a standard
feature and operates all other doors
and the rear liftgate. Six additional
RKE transmitters may have been
ordered with your vehicle. See your
dealer for additional information
regarding availability of more
RKE units for your vehicle.
The RKE transmitter for your police
vehicle has the vehicle locator/panic
alarm button disabled. The horn will
not sound and the exterior lights will
not flash when the button is
pressed.

SEO AMF - Fleet Package of 6
Unprogrammed Remote Units
Do not operate or program the
transmitters in the vicinity of other
vehicles that are in the keyless
entry program mode. This prevents
the programming of the transmitters
to the incorrect vehicle.
When programming SEO AMF
transmitters, the original two
transmitters delivered with the
vehicle must also be programmed at
the same time or they will not
function with the vehicle.
Up to eight transmitters may be
programmed to the RKE on Police
and Special Service Package
equipped vehicles. The first four
transmitters are given the position of
#1-#4 in the RKE. Any further
transmitters will also be assigned to
position #4.Verify that the proper transmitters
are learned to the vehicle. Do not
learn a transmitter with a remote
start button to a vehicle that does
not have remote start.
To access this DIC display, the
vehicle must be in P (Park). To
match a remote keyless entry
transmitter to the vehicle, do the
following:
1. Press the trip odometer reset
stem until RELEARN REMOTE
KEY displays.
2. Press and hold the trip reset stem for three seconds. The
message REMOTE KEY
LEARNING ACTIVE will display.
3. At the same time, press and hold
QandKon the first
transmitter for approximately
15 seconds. A beep will sound
indicating the transmitter is
matched to the vehicle. 4. Repeat Step 3 to match up to
five more transmitters. A total of
eight transmitters can be
matched per vehicle.
5. To exit the programming mode, turn the ignition key
to LOCK/OFF.

Adding Equipment to Your
Vehicle
Before adding accessories or
equipment to your police vehicle,
there are some things you need
to know:
.The police vehicle's maximum
capacity weight.
.The weight of your police
vehicle, including a full tank of
fuel but without a driver and
passengers.
.The weight of items you plan on
adding to your police vehicle,
like roof mounted light bar(s),
push bumpers, security
barrier(s), rear storage
organizer, highway flares, fire
extinguishers, weapons,
ammunition, radios, and video
equipment.
.The weight and number of
passengers you intend to carry
in your vehicle.
.The total weight of any
additional cargo you intend to
carry in your vehicle.
When planning your vehicle
equipment installation remember not
to exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) or the Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR) of the front
or rear axles. To keep the available
load weight less than the vehicle
capacity weight, you may need to
limit the number of passengers you
carry in your vehicle or change your
choice of additional equipment.
Center of Gravity (CG)
A vehicle's center of gravity is an
imaginary location inside the vehicle
and is a balance point for the
vehicle mass as it moves down the
road. The police vehicle's center of
gravity, before you add a load and
passengers, is approximately
midway between the center of the
axles, up from the ground to just
below the front window, and
between the driver and passenger. Equipment location and weight on
the vehicle's center of gravity is
important to keep in mind when
planning an installation. Heavy
equipment should be positioned as
low and as far forward in the rear
load compartment as possible. Try
to mount the equipment below the
bottom of the side windows. Refer
to the Loading Zone chart and
diagram to help with your
installation plan.
A procedure to make the necessary
measurements and formulas to
calculate the vehicle longitudinal,
lateral and vertical position of the
center of gravity can be found in the
GM Coachbuilders Manual.
Equipment required to conduct the
measurements for calculating the
center of gravity are:
.Weight scales of sufficient
capacity to measure the vehicle
weight at each wheel.

Using heavier suspension
components to get added durability
might not change your weight
ratings. Ask your dealer to help you
load your vehicle the right way.
Starting and
Operating
Fast Idle System
While parked with the engine idling
for an extended period, turn off the
following factory equipment if
emergency lighting and
communication equipment are
operating:
.Air Conditioner
.Fan
.Rear Window Defogger
.Factory Audio System
See “Running the Vehicle While
Parked” in the owner manual.
Engine Idle Speed - Alternator
Output
Normal idle speed for the engine is
set for 600 rpm. To increase
alternator output while the
transmission remains in P (Park) or
N (Neutral), and the electrical load
on the alternator is large enough,
the engine idle speed can rise to as
high as 800 to 1000 rpm.
