.PressKon the RKE transmitter.
.Start the vehicle.
To avoid setting off the alarm by accident:
.Lock the vehicle after all occupants have
left the vehicle and all doors are closed.
.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 and the horn chirps and the
lights flash three times, the alarm was
activated while the alarm system was
armed.
If the alarm system has been activated, and
allowed to complete an event
(approximately one minute), a message will
appear on the Driver Information Center
(DIC) the next time the vehicle is started.
Theft Alarm Notification
To enable e-mail or text notification, see
“Theft Alarm Notification” in OnStarSecurity
0 265.
Testing the Alarm
To test the alarm:
1. Lower the driver window and open the driver door.
2. Press
Qon the RKE transmitter.
3. Close the door and wait for a few seconds.
4. Reach in through the open window, unlock the door with the manual door
lock, and open the door.
This should set off the alarm.
If the alarm does not sound when it
should but the lamps flash, check to see
if the horn works. The horn fuse may be
blown. To replace the fuse, see Fuses and
Circuit Breakers 0198.
Immobilizer
See Radio Frequency Statement 0260.
Immobilizer Operation
This vehicle is equipped with the
PASS-Key®III+ (Personalized Automotive
Security System) theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key III+ is a passive theft deterrent
system.
The system is automatically armed when
the key is removed from the ignition.
You do not have to manually arm or disarm
the system.
The security light will come on if there is a
problem with arming or disarming the
theft-deterrent system.
If the engine does not start and the security
light comes on, the key may have a
damaged transponder. Turn the ignition off
and try again.
If the engine still does not start, and the
key appears to be undamaged, try another
ignition key. If the engine still does not
start with the other key, the vehicle needs
service. If the vehicle does start, the first
key may be faulty. See your dealer or a
locksmith who can service the PASS-Key III+
to have a new key made.

Electrical System
Electrical System Overload
The vehicle has fuses to protect against an
electrical system overload.
When the current electrical load is too
heavy, the circuit breaker opens and closes,
protecting the circuit until the current load
returns to normal or the problem is fixed.
This greatly reduces the chance of circuit
overload and fire caused by electrical
problems.
Fuses protect the wires that provide the
power to the devices in your vehicle.
If there is a problem on the road and a fuse
needs to be replaced, the same amperage
fuse can be borrowed. Choose some feature
of the vehicle that is not needed to use and
replace it as soon as possible.
To check a fuse, look at the band inside the
fuse. If the band is broken or melted,
replace the fuse. Be sure to replace a bad
fuse with a fuse of the identical size and
rating.
Replacing a Blown Fuse
At the next opportunity, see your dealer to
replace the blown fuse.
Headlamp Wiring
An electrical overload may cause the lamps
to go on and off, or in some cases to
remain off. Have the headlamp wiring
checked right away if the lamps go on and
off or remain off.
Windshield Wipers
If the wiper motor overheats due to heavy
snow or ice, the windshield wipers will stop
until the motor cools and will then restart.
Although the circuit is protected from
electrical overload, overload due to heavy
snow or ice may cause wiper linkage
damage. Always clear ice and heavy snow
from the windshield before using the
windshield wipers.
If the overload is caused by an electrical
problem and not snow or ice, be sure to get
it fixed.

198 Vehicle Care
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
The wiring circuits in the vehicle are
protected from short circuits by a
combination of fuses and circuit breakers.
This greatly reduces the chance of damage
caused by electrical problems.
{Danger
Fuses and circuit breakers are marked
with their ampere rating. Do not exceed
the specified amperage rating when
replacing fuses and circuit breakers. Use
of an oversized fuse or circuit breaker can
result in a vehicle fire. You and others
could be seriously injured or killed.
{Warning
Installation or use of fuses that do not
meet GM’s original fuse specifications is
dangerous. The fuses could fail, and result
in a fire. You or others could be injured
or killed, and the vehicle could be
damaged.
See Accessories and Modifications 0173 and
General Information 0173.
To check or replace a blown fuse, see
Electrical System Overload 0197.
Engine Compartment Fuse Block
The fuse block is in the engine compartment
on the driver side of the vehicle.
Vehicles with Upfitter Content
See www.gmupfitter.com for upfitter
provisions and best practices.
Caution
Spilling liquid on any electrical
component on the vehicle may damage
it. Always keep the covers on any
electrical component.
