This vehicle has one double-sided key for the
ignition and door locks. It
will fit with either side up.
When a new vehicle is delivered, the dealer provides
the owner with a pair of identical keys and a key
code number.
The key code number tells your dealer or a qualified
locksmith how to make extra keys. Keep this number in
a safe place. If you lose your keys, you’ll be able to
have new ones made easily using this number.
Your selling dealer should also have this number. Notice: Your vehicle has a number of features that
can help prevent theft. You can have a lot of trouble
getting into your vehicle if you ever lock your keys
inside. You may even have to damage your vehicle
to
get in. So be sure you have spare keys.
If you ever do get locked out of your vehicle, call the
GM Roadside Assistance Center. See Roadside
Assistance Program
on page 7-5.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Onstar@ system
with an active subscription and you lock your keys inside
the vehicle, Onstar@ may be able
to send a command
to unlock your vehicle. See
OnStap System on
page
2-35 for more information.
Remote Keyless Entry System
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 interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation
of the device.
2-4

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 "Battery Replacement" under
Remote Keyless Entry System Operation on
page
2-5.
If you are still having trouble, see your dealer or a
qualified technician for service.
Remote Keyless Entry System
Operation
With this system you can lock and unlock your doors
from about
3 feet (1 m) up to 30 feet (9 m) away
using the remote keyless entry transmitter supplied with
your vehicle.
door will unlock
automatically, the parking lamps may flash and the
interior lights will go on.
You can program different feedback settings through the

8 (Lock): Press lock to lock all the doors. Press lock
again within three seconds and the horn may chirp.
2 (Panic): When the button with the horn symbol on
the key 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, or by waiting for
30 seconds, or by
starting 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.
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.
The Driver Information Center (DIC) will display a RFA
## BATTERY LOW message when the transmitter
battery is
low.
Nofice: 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.

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

transmitter (with any door or the liftgate open), three
chimes will signal that delayed locking is being used.

seconds from the time the last door is closed. Five
seconds after the last door is closed, all the doors
will lock.

using the power door lock switch or the optional remote
keyless entry transmitter a second time.

lock the doors. The lockout prevention feature will
operate instead.

If the feature is disabled, the doors will lock immediately
when a power door lock switch or remote keyless
entry transmitter lock button is pressed.
