Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System
Your Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) 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.
2. This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry
Canada. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
1. This device may not cause interference.
2. This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.Changes or modications 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 operating
range. This is normal for any RKE 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”
underRemote Keyless Entry (RKE) System
Operation on page 96.
If you are still having trouble, see your
dealer/retailer or a qualied technician
for service.

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation
The Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter
functions, including lock, unlock, remote trunk
release, vehicle locator/panic alarm and remote
vehicle start, if your vehicle has this feature,
will work up to 195 feet (60 m) away.
If your vehicle has the remote vehicle start
feature, you will be able start your vehicle with the
RKE transmitter. However, the range may be
less while the vehicle is running and you may need
to be closer to your vehicle to turn it off than
you were to turn it on.
There are other conditions which can affect the
performance of the transmitter. SeeRemote
Keyless Entry (RKE) System on page 95.
You will have one of the RKE transmitters below.The following functions are available with your
vehicle’s remote keyless entry system:
/(Remote Vehicle Start):Your vehicle may be
started from outside the vehicle using the RKE
transmitter. See “Remote Vehicle Start” later in this
section for more detailed information.

Theft-Deterrent on page 113.
"(Unlock):Press the unlock button to unlock the

programmed to come on for a set amount of time
when the vehicle is unlocked using the RKE

Matching Transmitter(s) to Your
Vehicle
Each RKE 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 GM dealer. Remember to
bring any additional transmitters so they can also
be re-coded to match the new transmitter. Once
your dealer has coded the new transmitter, the lost
transmitter will not unlock your vehicle. The vehicle
can have a maximum of eight transmitters matched
to it. See RELEARN REMOTE KEY underDIC
Controls and Displays on page 240.
97

Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your RKE
transmitter should last about four years.
The battery is weak if the transmitter will not work
at the normal range in any location. If you have
to get close to your vehicle before the transmitter
works, it is probably time to change the battery.
The REPLACE BATTERY IN REMOTE KEY
message in the vehicle’s DIC will display if the
RKE transmitter battery is low. See “REPLACE
BATTERY IN REMOTE KEY” underDIC Warnings
and Messages on page 246for additional
information.
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.To replace the battery in the remote keyless entry
transmitter, do the following:
1. Insert a at object with a thin edge into the
notch on the side of the transmitter and
separate the bottom half from the top half.
2. Remove the old battery, but do not use a
metal object to do this.
3. Slide the new battery into the transmitter with
the positive side of the battery facing down.
Use a type CR2032 battery, or equivalent type.
98

4. Snap the front and the back of the transmitter
together tightly so moisture does not get in.
5. Test the operation of the transmitter with the
vehicle.To replace the battery in the RKE transmitter do
the following:
1. Use a at object with a thin edge into the
notch, located above the metal base, and
separate the bottom half from the top half of
the transmitter.
2. Remove the old battery, but do not use a
metal object to do this.
3. Slide the new battery into the transmitter with
the positive side of the battery facing up. Use
a type CR2032 battery, or equivalent type.
4. Snap the front and the back of the transmitter
together tightly so moisture does not get in.
5. Test the operation of the transmitter with the
vehicle.

Remote Vehicle Start
The remote vehicle starting feature allows you to
start the engine from outside of the vehicle. It
also starts up the vehicle’s automatic climate
control system. When the remote start system is
active, the climate control system will heat
and cool the inside of the vehicle according to the
previous settings of the system before turning
the vehicle off. The rear window defogger will be
turned on by the climate control system when
it is cold outside. If the vehicle has heated seats,
they will also turn on. SeeHeated and Cooled
Seats on page 11for additional information.
Cooled seats are not activated during a remote
start. Normal operation of the climate control
system will return after the key is turned to RUN.
SeeDual Climate Control System on page 210.
Laws in some communities may restrict the use of
remote starters. For example, some laws may
require a person using remote start to have
the vehicle in view when doing so. Check local
regulations for any requirements on remote starting
of vehicles.Do not use the remote start feature if your vehicle
is low on fuel. Your vehicle may run out of fuel.
Your RKE transmitter, with the remote start button,
provides an increased range of operation.
However, the range may be less while the vehicle
is running. As a result, you may need to be
closer to your vehicle to turn it off, than you were
to turn it on.
There are other conditions which can affect the
performance of the transmitter, see “Remote
Keyless Entry System Operation” listed previously
for additional information.
/(Remote Start):Press and release the lock
button and then press and hold this button to use
the remote start feature.
