Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Rear Hatch and Dutch Doors Release
If you have this option, your vehicle must be in either PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL
(N) to release the hatch and unlock the Dutch doors. If your
battery is dead, the hatch and doors will not open, even from the outside
with a key.
To release the hatch
and unlock the doors
from the inside of the
vehicle, press the
HATCH REL switch
on the instrument
panel. It is located on
the driver’s side of the
steering column. The
hatch will release with
or without the key in
the ignition.
Then, pull up on the hatch handle and open the doors.
To release the hatch using the optional Keyless Entry hand held transmitter,
see “Keyless Entry System” in the Index.
To release the hatch
and unlock the doors
from the outside of the
vehicle, put the key in
the lock and turn
clockwise. Then, pull
up on the hatch and
open the right rear
door first. Grasp the
handle and pull the
door open.
The hatch and doors will automatically lock when
the hatch is shut.
If the hatch is partially closed, the rear doors will lock and you will need to
use the key or HATCH

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Power Door Locks
If your vehicle has
power door locks,
push the power door
lock switch to lock or
unlock all the doors at
once.
The power door lock switch will not lock or unlock the rear hatch and Dutch
doors.
You must use the HATCH REL switch. See “Rear Hatch and Dutch
Doors Release’’ in this section.
Every vehicle with power door locks has
a pulse lock system. A pulse lock
system works like this:
If the sliding door is open and you push the power door lock switch, the
sliding door will not lock immediately. After
you close the door, the system
comes on and, in about five seconds, locks the sliding door.
All models have overriding door locks. When
a door is locked, the door
handle will not work the latch. This will help stop a door from being
accidentally opened. However, power door locks do
not affect the operation
of the hatch.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, take your keys, open your door and set the
locks from inside. Then get
out and close the door.
Keyless Entry System
If your vehicle has this option, you can lock and unlock your doors or hatch
from up to
30 feet (9 m) away using the key chain transmitter supplied with
your vehicle.
Your Keyless Entry System operates on a radio frequency subject to Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) Rules.

Operation
When you press UNLOCK, the driver’s door will unlock automatically. If
you press
UNLOCK again within five seconds, all doors will unlock. All
doors will lock when

Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each key chain 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, the remaining transmitters must
also be matched. Once the new transmitter is coded, the lost transmitter will
not unlock your vehicle.
You can match a transmitter to as many different vehicles as
you own,
provided they are equipped with
exactly the same model system. (General
Motors offers several different models
of these systems on their vehicles.)
Each vehicle can have only two transmitters matched
to it.

Under norlnal use, the batteries in your key chain transmitter should last
about two years.
You can
tell the batteries are 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 batteries.
Your transmitter housing snaps apart for ease
in battery replacement. To
open the housing:
1. Insert a dime between two halves of the transmitter housing near the
key ring
hole.
2. Remove the bottom by twisting the dime.
3. Remove and replace the batteries with two Duracell @-type batteries
(DL2016 or equivalent), positive side down.
4. Align and snap together the back and top transmitter housings.
Theft
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. However, there are ways you can
help.

If you walk away from your vehicle with the keys inside, it’s an easy target
for joy riders or professional thieves
- so don’t do it.
When you park your vehicle and open the driver’s door, you’ll hear a chime
reminding
you to remove your key from the ignition and take it with you.
Always
do this. Your steering wheel will be locked, and so will your
ignition and transmission. And remember to lock the doors.
