Section 2 Features and Controls

LOCK:Press this button to lock all the doors.
The parking lamps may also ash and the
horn may chirp when this button is pressed.
If a door is open or ajar when the lock button is
pressed, the horn will chirp several times to let you
know the doors did not lock and the content
theft-deterrent system is not armed. Pressing the
lock button again while the horn is chirping or within
three seconds after the horn stops sounding, the
doors will lock but the content theft-deterrent
system will not arm until the opened door is closed.
You can program different feedback modes
through the Driver Information Center (DIC).
To program the feedback modes, see “Remote
Keyless Entry Feedback” underDIC Controls and
Displays on page 194.
L(Panic):Press this button to make the horn
sound and the headlamps and taillamps ash
for up to 30 seconds. To turn them off again, do
one of these three things: wait for 30 seconds;
press the panic button again; or start the vehicle.
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 a maximum of four transmitters
matched to it.

Programmable Automatic
Door Locks
If your vehicle has power door locks and the
remote keyless entry system, it has an automatic
lock/unlock feature.
If your vehicle has an automatic transmission,
it is programmed from the factory to lock all doors
automatically when the shift lever is moved out
of PARK (P). All the doors will unlock when
the shift lever is moved back into PARK (P).
If your vehicle has a manual transmission, it is
programmed from the factory to lock all the
doors when the vehicle speed is greater than
15 mph (24 km/h). The doors will unlock when
the key is removed from the ignition.
To change the automatic door lock and unlock
settings, see “Automatic Door Locks” under
DIC Controls and Displays on page 194.
Rear Door Security Locks
(Crew Cab)
If your vehicle is a crew cab model, it may have
rear door security locks. With this feature, you can
lock the rear doors so they cannot be opened
from the inside.
The rear door security
lock is located on the
inside edge of each
rear door below
the security lock label.

How OnStar®Service Works
In order to provide you with OnStar®services, your
vehicle’s OnStar®system has the capability of
recording and transmitting vehicle information.
This information is automatically sent to an OnStar
®
Call Center at the time of an OnStar®button press,
Emergency button press or if your airbags or AACN
system deploys. The vehicle information usually
includes your GPS location and, in the event of a
crash, additional information regarding the accident
that your vehicle has been involved in (e.g. the
direction from which your vehicle was hit). When
you use the Virtual Advisor feature of OnStar
®
Hands-Free Calling, your vehicle also sends
OnStar®your GPS location so that we can provide
you with location-based services.
OnStar
®service cannot work unless your vehicle
is in a place where OnStar®has an agreement
with a wireless service provider for service in that
area. OnStar
®service also cannot work unless
you are in a place where the wireless service
provider OnStar
®has hired for that area
has coverage, network capacity and reception
when the service is needed, and technology that
is compatible with the OnStar
®service. Not all
services are available everywhere, particularly in
remote or enclosed areas, or at all times.OnStar
®service that involves location information
about your vehicle cannot work unless GPS
satellite signals are unobstructed and available in
that place as well.
Your vehicle must have a working electrical
system (including adequate battery power) for the
OnStar
®equipment to operate. There are other
problems OnStar®cannot control that may prevent
OnStar®from providing OnStar®service to you
at any particular time or place. Some examples are
damage to important parts of your vehicle in an
accident, hills, tall buildings, tunnels, weather
or wireless phone network congestion.
Your Responsibility
You may need to increase the volume of your
radio to hear the OnStar®advisor. If the light next
to the OnStar®buttons is red, this means that
your system is not functioning properly and should
be checked by a dealer. If the light appears
clear (no light is appearing), your OnStar
®
subscription has expired. You can always press
the blue OnStar®button to conrm that your
OnStar®equipment is active.
