Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some
cities. Although your vehicle has a number of
theft-deterrent features, we know that nothing
we put on it can make it impossible to steal.
Content Theft-Deterrent
The remote keyless entry transmitter is used to
arm/disarm the theft-deterrent system. Your
vehicle’s theft-deterrent system can be
programmed to three different modes.
Active Arming:The system will arm when the
lock button on the remote keyless entry transmitter
is pressed. The system will disarm when the
unlock button is pressed.
Passive Arming:The system will arm itself
one minute after the ignition is turned off and
the driver’s door has been opened and closed.
If the lock button on the transmitter is pressed
before the minute has passed, the system will
arm immediately. The system will disarm when
the unlock button is pressed.
Security System Disable:The system will
not arm.To change the mode that your vehicle is
programmed to, do the following:
1. Turn the ignition to RUN or ACC.
2. Press the panic alarm button on the
transmitter slowly four times within
ve seconds.
3. You must complete one of the following within
three seconds to change the mode.To select the active arming mode, press the
lock button on the transmitter.
To select the passive arming mode, press
the lock button on the transmitter twice
within 3 seconds.
To select the security system disable mode,
press the unlock button on the transmitter.
A chime will sound once the mode has been
selected.
If you accidentally set off the alarm when
entering/exiting the vehicle, you can shut it off
by pressing any button on the remote keyless entry
transmitter other than the panic alarm button.
If you hear three horn chirps when you press the
unlock button on the transmitter, that means the
vehicle’s alarm was triggered while you were away.

similar material dampened with glass cleaner.

as that may cause the liquid cleaner to enter
the mirror housing.

mirror controls are
located on the driver’s
side of the vehicle
next to the shift lever.

Root Directory
The root directory of the CD-R is treated as a
folder. If the root directory has compressed audio
les, the directory displays as F1 ROOT. All
les contained directly under the root directory
are accessed prior to any root directory folders.
However, playlists (Px) are always accessed
before root folders or les.

in the le structure that contains only folders/
subfolders and no compressed les directly
beneath them, the player advances to the next
folder in the le structure that contains compressed
audio les. The empty folder does not display.

displays the name of the folder the radio
displays ROOT.

playlist and continues sequentially through
all tracks in each playlist. When the last track
of the last playlist has played, play continues

If your vehicle cannot be driven, know where
the towing service is taking it. Get a card
from the tow truck operator or write down the
driver’s name, the service’s name, and the
phone number.
Remove any valuables from your vehicle
before it is towed away. Make sure this
includes your insurance information and
registration if you keep these items in your
vehicle.
Gather the important information you need
from the other driver. Things like name,
address, phone number, driver’s license
number, vehicle license plate, vehicle make,
model and model year, Vehicle Identication
Number (VIN), insurance company and
policy number, and a general description
of the damage to the other vehicle.
If possible, call your insurance company from
the scene of the accident. They will walk you
through the information they need. If they ask
for a police report, phone or go to the police
department headquarters the next day and you
can get a copy of the report for a nominal fee. In
some states/provinces with “no fault” insurancelaws, a report may not be necessary. This is
especially true if there are no injuries and both
vehicles are driveable.
Choose a reputable collision repair facility for
your vehicle. Whether you select a Saturn
retailer or a private collision repair facility to x
the damage, make sure you are comfortable
with them. Remember, you will have to feel
comfortable with their work for a long time.
Once you have an estimate, read it carefully
and make sure you understand what work will
be performed on your vehicle. If you have a
question, ask for an explanation. Reputable
shops welcome this opportunity.
Managing the Vehicle Damage Repair
Process
In the event that your vehicle requires damage
repairs, GM recommends that you take an active
role in its repair. If you have a pre-determined
repair facility of choice, take your vehicle there,
or have it towed there. Specify to the facility
that any required replacement collision parts
be original equipment parts, either new Genuine
GM parts or recycled original GM parts.
Remember, recycled parts are not covered by
your GM vehicle warranty.
