the RKE transmitter slightly and try starting
the vehicle.
When starting the vehicle, if the RKE
transmitter battery is depleted or there is
signal interference, the DIC may display NO

Battery Replacement
{Warning
Never allow children to play with the RKE
transmitter. The transmitter contains a
small battery, which can be a choking
hazard. If swallowed, internal burns can
occur, resulting in severe injury or death.
Seek medical attention immediately if a
battery is swallowed.
{Warning
To avoid personal injury, do not touch
metal surfaces on the RKE transmitter
when it has been exposed to extreme
heat. These surfaces can be hot to the
touch at temperatures above 59 °C
(138 °F).
Caution
When replacing the battery, do not touch
any of the circuitry on the transmitter.
Static from your body could damage the
transmitter.
Caution
Always replace the battery with the
correct type. Replacing the battery with
an incorrect type could potentially create
a risk of battery explosion. Dispose of
used batteries according to instructions
and local laws. Do not attempt to burn,
crush, or cut the used battery, and avoid
exposing the battery to environments
with extremely low air pressures or high
temperatures.
Replace the battery if the REPLACE BATTERY
IN REMOTE KEY message displays in the DIC.

Immobilizer Operation (Key
Access)
This vehicle has a passive theft-deterrent
system.
The system does not have to be manually
armed or disarmed.
The vehicle is automatically immobilized
when the key is removed from the ignition.
The system is automatically disarmed when
the vehicle is started with the correct key.
The key uses a transponder that matches an
immobilizer control unit in the vehicle and
automatically disarms the system. Only an
authorized key starts the vehicle. The vehicle
may not start if the key is damaged.
The security light in the instrument cluster
comes on if there is a problem with arming
or disarming the theft-deterrent system.
When trying to start the vehicle, the
security light comes on briefly when the
ignition is turned on.If the engine does not start and the security
light stays on, there is a problem with the
system. Turn the ignition off and try again.
If the engine still does not start, and the
key appears to be undamaged or the light
continues to stay on, try another ignition
key. If the engine does not start with the
other key, the vehicle needs service. If the
vehicle does start, the first key may be
damaged. See your dealer who can service
the theft-deterrent system and have a new
key made.
Do not leave the transmitter or device that
disarms or deactivates the theft-deterrent
system in the vehicle.
Immobilizer Operation (Keyless
Access)
This vehicle has a passive theft-deterrent
system.
The system does not have to be manually
armed or disarmed.
The vehicle is automatically immobilized
when the transmitter leaves the vehicle.
The immobilization system is disarmed
when ENGINE START/STOP is pressed and a
valid transmitter is found in the vehicle.
The security light in the instrument cluster
comes on when there is a problem with
arming or disarming the theft-deterrent
system.
The system has one or more transmitters
matched to an immobilizer control unit in
your vehicle. Only a correctly matched
transmitter will start the vehicle. If the
transmitter is ever damaged, you may not
be able to start your vehicle.
When trying to start the vehicle, the
security light comes on briefly when the
ignition is turned on.
If the engine does not start and the security
light stays on, there is a problem with the
system. Turn the vehicle off and try again.
If the RKE transmitter appears to be
undamaged, try another transmitter. Or, you
may try placing the transmitter in the front
cupholder. See

will be canceled when the ignition is turned
on. Press the control to use the heated seats
after the vehicle is started.
The heated seat indicator lights do not turn
on during a remote start.
The temperature performance of an
unoccupied seat may be reduced. This is
normal.
The heated seats will not turn on during a
remote start unless the heated seat feature
is enabled in the vehicle personalization
menu. SeeRemote Vehicle Start 017 and
Vehicle Personalization 093.
Folding Seatback
The front passenger seatback may fold flat.
{Warning
If you fold the seatback forward to carry
longer objects, such as skis, be sure any
such cargo is not near an airbag. In a
crash, an inflating airbag might force that
object toward a person. This could cause
severe injury or even death. Secure
objects away from the area in which an
airbag would inflate. For more

information, seeWhere Are the Airbags?
0 46 and
Vehicle Load Limits 0134.
{Warning
Things you put on this seatback can
strike and injure people in a sudden stop
or turn, or in a crash. Remove or secure
all items before driving.
To fold the seatback: 1. Lower the head restraint all the way. See Head Restraints 029.
2. Move the seat as far back as possible. See Seat Adjustment 030.
3. Lift the lever fully and fold the seatback
forward.
If necessary, move the seat belt out of
the way to access the lever.
4. Continue lowering the seatback until it is completely folded and locks in place.
To raise the seatback: 1. Lift the lever fully to unlock the seatback. Then, raise the seatback and
push it rearward until it re-engages.

Storage 75
Pull the strap to lift.
Fold the load floor. Place the hook from the
load floor inside the hook on the side trim.
Roof Rack System{
Warning
If something is carried on top of the
vehicle that is longer or wider than the
roof rack—like paneling, plywood, or a
mattress —the wind can catch it while
the vehicle is being driven. The item
being carried could be violently torn off,
and this could cause a collision and
damage the vehicle. Never carry
something longer or wider than the roof
rack on top of the vehicle unless using a
GM certified accessory carrier.
For vehicles with a roof rack, the rack can be
used to load items. For roof racks that do
not have crossrails included, GM Certified
crossrails can be purchased as an accessory.
See your dealer for additional information.
Caution
Loading cargo on the roof rack that
weighs more than 75 kg (165 lb) or hangs
over the rear or sides of the vehicle may
damage the vehicle. Do not load cargo
exceeding 75 kg (165 lbs) and always load
(Continued)
Caution (Continued)
cargo so that it rests evenly between the
crossrails and does not block the vehicle
lamps or windows. Fasten the cargo
securely.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo when
driving, check to make sure crossrails and
cargo are securely fastened. Loading cargo
on the roof rack will make the vehicle’s
center of gravity higher. Avoid high speeds,
sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden braking,
or abrupt maneuvers; otherwise it may
result in loss of control. If driving for a long
distance, on rough roads, or at high speeds,
occasionally stop the vehicle to make sure
the cargo remains in its place. Do not
exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when
loading the vehicle.
See Vehicle Load Limits 0134.
