8 Keys, Doors, and Windows
{Warning
If the key is unintentionally rotated while
the vehicle is running, the ignition could
be moved out of the RUN position. This
could be caused by heavy items hanging
from the key ring, or by large or long
items attached to the key ring that could
be contacted by the driver or steering
wheel. If the ignition moves out of the
RUN position, the engine will shut off,
braking and steering power assist may be
impacted, and airbags may not deploy.
To reduce the risk of unintentional
rotation of the ignition key, do not
change the way the ignition key and
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter,
if equipped, are connected to the
provided key rings.
The ignition key and key rings, and RKE
transmitter, if equipped, are designed to
work together as a system to reduce the
risk of unintentionally moving the key out
of the RUN position. The ignition key has a
small hole to allow attachment of the
provided key ring. It is important that any replacement ignition keys have a small hole.
See your dealer if a replacement key is
required.
The combination and size of the rings that
came with your keys were specifically
selected for your vehicle. The rings are
connected to the key like two links of a
chain to reduce the risk of unintentionally
moving the key out of the RUN position. Do
not add any additional items to the ring
attached to the ignition key. Attach
additional items only to the second ring,
and limit added items to a few essential
keys or small, light items no larger than an
RKE transmitter.
Interference from radio-frequency
identification (RFID) tags may prevent the
key from starting the vehicle. Keep RFID
tags away from the key when starting the
vehicle.
The key is used for the ignition, all door
locks, and the glove box.
If equipped with memory seats, keys 1 and 2
are linked to seating positions of memory 1
or 2. See
Memory Seats 049.
Programming Keys
Follow these procedures to program up to
eight keys to the vehicle.

Warning (Continued)
with the RKE transmitter in the vehicle,
and children or others could be caught in
the path of a closing window. Do not
leave children in a vehicle with the
ignition key or an RKE transmitter.
If the vehicle has the Keyless Access system,
the transmitter has a button on the side of
the transmitter used to remove the key.
This key is used for the driver door and
glove box.
Press the button to remove the key. Never
pull the key out without pressing the
button.
See your dealer if a replacement key or
additional key is needed.
If it becomes difficult to turn a key, inspect
the key blade for debris. Periodically clean
with a brush or pick.
With an active OnStar or connected service
plan, an OnStar Advisor may remotely
unlock the vehicle. SeeOnStar Overview
0 440.
If locked out of the vehicle, see Roadside
Assistance Program 0431. If equipped with memory seats, RKE
transmitters 1 and 2 are linked to seating
positions of memory 1 or 2. See
Memory
Seats 049.
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System
See Radio Frequency Statement 0436.
If there is a decrease in the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) operating range:
.Check the distance. The transmitter may
be too far from the vehicle.
.Check the location. Other vehicles or
objects may be blocking the signal.
.Check the transmitter's battery. See
“Battery Replacement” later in this
section.
.If the transmitter is still not working
correctly, see your dealer or a qualified
technician for service.
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)

Climate Controls 209
The solar sensor, on top of the instrument
panel near the windshield, monitors the
solar heat.
The climate control system uses the sensor
information to adjust the temperature, fan
speed, recirculation, and air delivery mode
for best comfort.
Do not cover the sensor; otherwise the
automatic climate control system may not
work properly.
Air Vents
Use the sliding knobs on the center and side
air vents to change the direction of the
airflow.
Air vents blow warm air on the side
windows in cold weather. If Floor, Defog,
or Defrost modes are selected, a small
amount of air will come from the vents
close to the window.
To close the front a/c vents, move the
sliding knobs to the full down position.
To close the rear a/c vents, move the sliding
knobs to the full inboard position.Operation Tips
.Clear away any ice, snow, or leaves from
air inlets at the base of the windshield
that could block the flow of air into the
vehicle.
.Clear snow off the hood to improve
visibility and help decrease moisture
drawn into the vehicle.
.Keep the path under the front seats clear
of objects to help circulate the air inside
of the vehicle more effectively.
.Use of non-GM approved hood deflectors
can adversely affect the performance of
the system. Check with your dealer
before adding equipment to the outside
of the vehicle.
.Do not attach any devices to the air vent
slats. This will restrict airflow and may
cause damage to the air vents.
Maintenance
Passenger Compartment Air Filter
The filter reduces the dust, pollen, and other
airborne irritants from outside air that is
pulled into the vehicle.
The filter should be replaced as part of
routine scheduled maintenance. See
Maintenance Schedule
0409. To find out
what type of filter to use, see Maintenance
Replacement Parts 0419.

Service
All vehicles have a label underhood that
identifies the refrigerant used in the vehicle.
The refrigerant system should only be
serviced by trained and certified technicians.
The air conditioning evaporator should never
be repaired or replaced by one from a
salvage vehicle. It should only be replaced
by a new evaporator to ensure proper and
safe operation.
During service, all refrigerants should be
reclaimed with proper equipment. Venting
refrigerants directly to the atmosphere is
harmful to the environment and may also
create unsafe conditions based on
inhalation, combustion, frostbite, or other
health-based concerns.
The air conditioning system requires periodic
maintenance. See Maintenance Schedule
0 409.

Any load that extends beyond the
vehicle's taillamp area must be properly
marked according to local laws and
regulations.
Remember not to exceed the Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR) of the front or
rear axle.
Add-On Equipment
When carrying removable items, a limit
on how many people carried inside the
vehicle may be necessary. Be sure to
weigh the vehicle before buying and
installing the new equipment.Caution
Overloading the vehicle may cause
damage. Repairs would not be covered by
the vehicle warranty. Do not overload the
vehicle.
Remember not to exceed the Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR) of the front or

Loading Points
1. Primary Load Points
2. Secondary Load Areas
3. GM Approved Accessory Mounting Points
Structural members (1) and (2) are included
in the pickup box design. Additional
accessories should use these load points.
Depending on the accessory design, use a
spacer under the accessory at the load
points to remove gap. The holes for GM
approved accessories (3) are not intended for
aftermarket equipment. See
www.gmupfitter.com for additional pickup
box load bearing structural information.
Truck-Camper Loading Information
A vehicle-specific Truck-Camper Loading
Information label is attached to the
inside of the vehicle's glove box. This
label indicates if a slide-in camper can
be carried, how much of a load the
vehicle can carry, and how to correctly
spread out the load. It will help to
match the right slide-in camper to the
vehicle.

Driving and Operating 227
Your dealer can help make a good
vehicle-camper match and help
determine the Cargo Weight
Rating (CWR).
When installing and loading a slide-in
camper, check the manufacturer's
instructions.
When carrying a slide-in camper, the
total cargo load of the vehicle is the
weight of the camper plus:
.Everything added to the camper after
it left the factory.
.Everything in the camper.
.All the people inside.
The CWR is the maximum weight of the
load the vehicle can carry. It does not
include the weight of the people inside.
But, use about 68 kg (150 lb) for
each seat. The total cargo load must not be more
than the vehicle's CWR.
Refer to the Truck-Camper Loading
Information label in the glove box for
dimensions A and B as shown in the
following illustration.
Use the rear edge of the load floor for
measurement purposes. The
recommended location for the cargo
center of gravity is in zone C for the
CWR. It is the point where the mass of
a body is concentrated and,
if suspended at that point, would
balance the front and rear.Here is an example of proper truck and
camper match:
1.Camper Center of Gravity
2.Recommended Center of Gravity
Location Zone
When the truck is used to carry a
slide-in camper, the total cargo load of
the truck consists of the manufacturer's
camper weight figure, the weight of
installed additional camper equipment
not included in the manufacturer's
camper weight figure, the weight of
camper cargo, and the weight of
passengers in the camper. The total
