mirror buttons.
If something has blocked the driver’s seat and/or
the steering column while recalling a memory
position, the driver’s seat and/or the steering
column recall may stop. If this happens remove
the obstruction, then press the appropriate control
for the area that is not recalling for two seconds.

doors. If enabled through the Driver Information
Center (DIC), the parking lamps may ash once to
indicate locking has occurred, or the horn may
chirp when the lock button is pressed again within
ve seconds from the previous press of the lock
button. SeeDIC Vehicle Customization on
page 259for additional information. If the vehicle

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
transmitter. SeeDIC Vehicle Customization on
page 259. Pressing the unlock button on the RKE
transmitter may disarm the content theft-deterrent
system. SeeContent Theft-Deterrent on page 113.
V(Remote Trunk Release):Press and hold
this button for about one second to release the
trunk lid.The transaxle must be in PARK (P) for this feature
to operate.
L(Vehicle Locator/Panic Alarm):Press and
release this button to locate your vehicle. The turn
signal lamps will ash and the horn will sound
three times. Press and hold this button for more
than two seconds to activate the panic alarm. The
turn signal lamps will ash and the horn will sound
repeatedly for 30 seconds. The alarm will turn off
when the ignition is moved to RUN or the alarm

OFF for the panic alarm to work.
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.

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.

The remote vehicle start feature will not operate if
the key is in the ignition, the hood is not closed,
or if there is an emission control system
malfunction.
The engine will turn off during a remote vehicle
start if the coolant temperature gets too high,
or the oil pressure is too low.
Your vehicle was shipped from the factory with the
remote vehicle start system enabled. The
system may be disabled through the Driver
Information Center (DIC). See “REMOTE START”
underDIC Vehicle Customization on page 259
for additional information.
SeeEngine Exhaust on page 130for important
safety information when using remote start
in a closed garage.
Remote Start Ready
If your vehicle does not have the remote vehicle
start feature, it may have the remote start
ready feature. This feature allows your dealer to
add the manufacturer’s remote vehicle start
feature. See your dealer if you would like to add
the manufacturer’s remote vehicle start feature
to your vehicle.
Doors and Locks
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 will not open it.
You increase the chance of being
thrown out of the vehicle in a crash if
the doors are not locked. So, wear
safety belts properly and lock the
doors whenever you drive.
CAUTION: (Continued)
102

Trunk
{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the
trunk lid open because carbon monoxide
(CO) gas can come into your vehicle. You
cannot see or smell CO. It can cause
unconsciousness and even death. If you
must drive with the trunk lid open or if
electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal
between the body and the trunk lid:
Make sure all other windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or
cooling system to its highest speed
and select the control setting that will
force outside air into your vehicle. See
Climate Control System.
If you have air outlets on or under
the instrument panel, open them all
the way.
SeeEngine Exhaust on page 130.

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 your dealer/retailer. If the light
appears clear (no light is appearing), your OnStar
®
subscription has expired. You can always press
the OnStar®button to conrm that your OnStar®
equipment is active.
