Door Locks
CAUTION:
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.

Passengers -- especially children -- can
easily open the doors and fall out of a
moving vehicle. When a door is locked,
the handle won't open it. You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle
in a crash if the doors aren't locked.
So, wear safety belts properly and lock
the doors whenever you drive.

Young children who get into unlocked
vehicles may be unable to get out. A child
can be overcome by extreme heat and can
suffer permanent injuries or even death
from heat stroke. Always lock your vehicle
whenever you leave it.

Outsiders can easily enter through an
unlocked door when you slow down or stop
your vehicle. Locking your doors can help
prevent this from happening.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
Use the keyless entry system.
You can also use your key.
To lock the doors from the
inside, slide the manual
lever rearward. To unlock
the door, slide the manual
lever forward.

2-8 Lockout Prevention
This feature protects you from locking your key in
the vehicle when the key is in the ignition and a door
is open.
If the power lock switch is pressed when a door is open
and the key is in the ignition, all of the doors will lock
and then the driver's door will unlock.
Child Security Locks
With this feature, you can
lock the rear doors so they
can't be opened from the
inside by passengers.
To use the security locks:
1. Open one of the rear doors.2. You will find a security lock lever on the inside edge
of the rear door. Move the lever up to engage the
security lock. Move the lever down to disengage the
security lock.
3. Close the door.
4. Do the same thing to the other rear door.
The rear doors on your vehicle cannot be opened from
the inside when this feature is in use. If you want to
open the rear door when the security lock is on, unlock
the door and open the door from the outside.
Keyless Entry System
You can lock and unlock your doors and liftgate from
about 3 feet (1 m) up to 30 feet (9 m) away using
the remote keyless entry transmitter supplied with
your vehicle.
Your keyless entry system operates on a radio frequency
subject to Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Rules and with Industry Canada.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.

2-9
This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
Changes or modifications to this system by other than
an authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
At times you may notice a decrease in range. This is
normal for any remote keyless entry system. If the
transmitter does not work or if you have to stand closer
to your vehicle for the transmitter to work, try this:

Check the distance. You may be too far from your
vehicle. You may need to stand closer during rainy
or snowy weather.

Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may
be blocking the signal. Take a few steps to the left
or right, hold the transmitter higher, and try again.

Check to determine if battery replacement is
necessary. See the instructions that follow.

If you're still having trouble, see your dealer or
a qualified technician for service.Operation
UNLOCK: Pressing this button once will unlock the
driver's door. The interior lights will come on and the
parking lamps will flash. Pressing UNLOCK again
within three seconds will cause the remaining doors to
unlock. The interior lights will come on. The vehicle's
perimeter lights (headlamps, parking lamps and puddle
lamps) will also come on if programmed in the SIC.
You can choose different feedback options for each
press of the UNLOCK button and you can also
choose not to have the perimeter lights come on.
See ªSecondary Information Centerº in the Index
for more information.
LOCK: Pressing this button once will lock all of the
doors. Pressing the button again within three seconds
will cause the horn to chirp. You can choose different
feedback options for each press of the LOCK button.
See ªSecondary Information Center (SIC)º in the
Index for more information.
Operating the keyless entry transmitter may interact
with the theft
-deterrent system. See ªContent-Theft
Deterrentº and ªSecondary Information Center (SIC)º
in the Index for more information.

2-10
Remote Panic Alarm
When the button with the horn symbol on the keyless
entry transmitter is pressed, the horn will sound and the
headlamps and taillamps will flash for up to 30 seconds.
This can be turned off by pressing the horn button again,
waiting for 30 seconds, or starting the vehicle.
OnStar

Alarm Auto-Notification (If Equipped)
OnStar may dial in to the OnStar center to report an
alarm activation if the alarm is sounded for more than
five seconds.
Recalling Seat and Mirror Memory Settings
You can recall seat and mirror positions using your
keyless entry transmitter. See ªMemory Seat and
Memory Mirrorsº in the Index for more information.
Matching Transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring any
remaining transmitters with you when you go to your
dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have only four transmitters
matched to it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about two years.
You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter won't
work at the normal range in any location. If you have to
get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it's probably time to change the battery.

2-11
To replace the battery in the keyless entry transmitter:1. Insert a thin coin in the slot between the covers of
the transmitter housing near the key ring hole.
Remove the bottom by twisting the coin.
2. Remove and replace the battery with a three
-volt
CR2032 or equivalent battery, positive (+) side up.
3. Align the covers and snap them together.
4. Check the operation of the transmitter.
NOTICE:
When replacing the battery, use care not to
touch any of the circuitry. Static from your
body transferred to these surfaces may damage
the transmitter.

2-12
Liftgate/Liftglass
CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the liftgate or
liftglass open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas
can come into your vehicle. You can't see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the liftgate or liftglass
open or if electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal between
the body and the liftgate or liftglass:

Make sure all other windows are shut.

Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting
on VENT or OUTSIDE AIR. That will
force outside air into your vehicle.
See ªComfort Controlsº in the Index.

If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See ªEngine Exhaustº in the Index.
To open a mechanical lock system from the outside,
insert the key into the lock and turn it counterclockwise
to unlock the liftgate and liftglass.
The liftglass can be opened using the pushbutton on the
liftgate after the doors have been unlocked. This can be
done by using either the power door locks or the remote
keyless entry system.
To open the entire liftgate, lift the handle located in the
center of the door.
To lock a power lock system from the outside, insert the
key into the lock button and turn it clockwise. All doors
will lock. You may also use the keyless entry system or
the power door locks to lock the liftgate and liftglass.
