GMC Sierra/Sierra Denali 1500 Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S./
Canada/Mexico-15883563) - 2022 - CRC - 11/19/21
32 Keys, Doors, and Windows
The alarm will also be activated if a
passenger door or the hood is opened
without first disarming the system. When
the alarm is activated, the turn signals flash
and the horn sounds for about 30 seconds.
The alarm system will then re-arm to
monitor for the next unauthorized event.
Disarming the Alarm System
To disarm the alarm system or turn off the
alarm if it has been activated:
.PressKon the RKE transmitter.
.Start the vehicle.
To avoid setting off the alarm by mistake:
.Lock the vehicle after all occupants have
exited.
.Always unlock a door with the RKE
transmitter.
Unlocking the driver door with the key
will not disarm the system or turn off the
alarm.
How to Detect a Tamper Condition
IfKis pressed on the RKE transmitter and
the horn chirps three times, an alarm
occurred previously while the alarm system
was armed. If the alarm has been activated, a message
will appear on the DIC.
Steering Column Lock
If equipped, the steering column lock is a
theft-deterrent device. This feature locks the
steering column when the vehicle is turned
off and the driver door is opened, or when
the driver door is opened and then the
vehicle is turned off. The steering column
unlocks when the vehicle is turned on.
The Driver Information Center (DIC) may
display one of these messages:
.A message to service the steering column
lock indicates that an issue has been
detected with the column lock feature
and the vehicle should be serviced.
.A message that the steering column is
locked indicates that the engine is
running, but the steering column is still
locked. It is normal for the column to be
locked during a remote start, but the
column should unlock after the brake
pedal is pressed and the vehicle is started.
No message will display during a remote
start.
.A message that the steering wheel must
be turned and the vehicle must be started
again indicates that the column lockmechanism is bound, the column locking
device was unable to unlock the steering
column, and the vehicle did not start.
If this happens, immediately turn the
steering wheel from side to side to
unbind the column lock. If this does not
unlock the steering column, turn the
vehicle off and open the driver door to
reset the system. Then turn the vehicle
on and immediately turn the steering
wheel side to side for about 15 seconds.
In some cases, it may take significant
force to unbind the column.
To keep the steering column from binding,
straighten the front wheels before turning
off the vehicle.
Immobilizer
See Radio Frequency Statement 0450.
Immobilizer Operation
This vehicle has a passive theft-deterrent
system.

330 Driving and Operating
After a profile is imported, it can be selected
from the trailer list. The Tow/Haul Mode
reminder, Brake Gain Setting and Trailer Tire
Pressure sensor learning, if equipped, do not
import.
Trailer Feature Setup
Tow/Haul Mode Reminder
To turn the Tow/Haul Mode Reminder
setting on, touch Yes. To turn it off,
touch No.
Trailer Tire Pressure Setup
If the Trailer TTPMS is detected, touch the
Tire Pressure Monitoring icon to set up tire
pressure monitoring.
The trailer tire pressure sensors can transmit
up to 7 m (23 feet) from the hitch receiver of
the vehicle.
A trailer must be electrically connected to
the vehicle before starting the
sensor-to-vehicle learn process.
After selecting Start from the Learn Sensors
screen, use the Tool Method or the Manual
Method (described below) to learn each tire
sensor, during which the current tire number
will be highlighted.Each sensor has a maximum of two minutes
to learn. After a sensor is learned, a
checkmark appears next to the tire, the
vehicle horn sounds, the vehicle brake lamps
flash, and all working trailer lamps flash.
It then moves to the next sensor.
Touch Stop to cancel the process.
The recommended tire pressure must be
entered for the trailer tires. This allows the
vehicle to alert when the tire pressure is
high or low.
TTPMS must learn the location of the
installed tire sensors to show correct air
pressure and temperature for each tire. To
set up, use one of the following options or
see a tire or trailer dealer for service. The
learning process must be repeated when the
trailer tires are rotated or replaced.
Tool Method: A TTPMS activation tool can
be purchased separately to learn the sensor
locations.
Manual Method: Without the tool, the air
pressure can be increased or decreased in
each tire for 10 seconds. Do not exceed the
maximum inflation pressure found on the
tire sidewalls. Make sure to readjust tire
pressure to the recommended level when
the process is complete.Sensor Learning Steps
To complete the sensor-to-vehicle learn
process:
1. Touch Start on the Learn Sensors screen. The horn chirps twice and the Learning
Active screen appears on the
infotainment screen.
2. Start with the driver side front trailer tire.
3. Activate the tool near the valve stem or adjust the air pressure of this tire until
the horn chirps and all working vehicle
and trailer lights flash.
The process stops without saving the
sensor locations if this step takes more
than two minutes.
4. Move to the next tire and repeat Step 3 for each sensor. The horn chirps twice
when all sensors are completed.
5. Return to the vehicle to complete the setup.
Maintenance Reminders
To set up maintenance reminders, touch the
Trailer Maintenance icon. Follow the
onscreen prompts. The maximum number of
reminders is 50.

sensor matching process is performed
successfully. See "TPMS Sensor Matching
Process" later in this section.
.The TPMS sensor matching process was
not done or not completed successfully
after rotating the tires. The malfunction
light and the DIC message should go off
after successfully completing the sensor
matching process. See "TPMS Sensor
Matching Process" later in this section.
.One or more TPMS sensors are missing or
damaged. The malfunction light and the
DIC message should go off when the
TPMS sensors are installed and the sensor
matching process is performed
successfully. See your dealer for service.
.Replacement tires or wheels do not match
the original equipment tires or wheels.
Tires and wheels other than those
recommended could prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly. SeeBuying
New Tires 0391.
.Operating electronic devices or being near
facilities using radio wave frequencies
similar to the TPMS could cause the TPMS
sensors to malfunction. If the TPMS is not functioning properly, it
cannot detect or signal a low tire pressure
condition. See your dealer for service if the
TPMS malfunction light and DIC message
come on and stay on.
Tire Fill Alert (If Equipped)
This feature provides visual and audible
alerts outside the vehicle to help when
inflating an underinflated tire to the
recommended cold tire pressure.
When the low tire pressure warning light
comes on:
1. Park the vehicle in a safe, level place.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. Place the vehicle in P (Park).
4. Add air to the tire that is underinflated. The turn signal lamp will flash.
When the recommended pressure is
reached, the horn sounds once and the
turn signal lamp will stop flashing and
briefly turn solid.
Repeat these steps for all underinflated tires
that have illuminated the low tire pressure
warning light.
{Warning
Overinflating a tire could cause the tire
to rupture and you or others could be
injured. Do not exceed the maximum
pressure listed on the tire sidewall. See
Tire Sidewall Labeling 0379 and
Vehicle Load Limits 0215.
If the tire is overinflated by more than
35 kPa (5 psi), the horn will sound multiple
times and the turn signal lamp will continue
to flash for several seconds after filling
stops. To release and correct the pressure,
while the turn signal lamp is still flashing,
briefly press the center of the valve stem.
When the recommended pressure is reached,
the horn sounds once.
If the turn signal lamp does not flash within
15 seconds after starting to inflate the tire,
the tire fill alert has not been activated or is
not working.
If the hazard warning flashers are on, the
tire fill alert visual feedback will not work
properly.
