If your vehicle has this option, you can lock and unlock your doors or
unlock your trunk from up to
30 feet (9 m) away using the key chain
transmitter supplied with your vehicle.

the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received,

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
DOOR is pressed.
The endgate glass will unlock when the truck symbol button
is pressed.
Vehicles with automatic transmissions must have the transmission
in “P”
(Park). Vehicles with manual transmission must have the parking brake
engaged.
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.
See your dealer
to match transmitters to another vehicle.
Battery Replacement
Under normal 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.

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.
Key in the Ignition
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 tone
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. If you have an automatic transmission, taking your key out
also
locks your transmission. And remember to lock the doors.
Parking at Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your vehicle. Remember
to keep your valuables out of sight. Put them
in a storage area, or take them
with you.
Parking Lots
If you park in a lot where someone will be watching your vehicle, it’s best
to lock
it up and take your keys. But what if you have to leave your ignition
key? What
if you have to leave something valuable in your vehicle?
0 Put your valuables in a storage area, like your glove box.
Lock the glove box.
Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
Then take the door key with you.

L
NOTICE:
Your modern vehicle doesn’t need an elaborate “break-in.” But
it will perform better in the long run if you follow these
guidelines:
0 Keep your speed at 55 mph (88 km/h) or less for the first 500
miles (SO4 km).
0 Don’t drive at any one speed - fast or slow - for the first
500 miles (804 km). Don’t make full-throttle starts.
Avoid making hard stops for the first 200 miles (322 km) or
so. During this time your new brake linings aren’t yet broken
in. Hard stops with new linings can mean premature wear and
earlier replacement. Follow this “breaking-in” guideline
every time you get new brake linings.

5. LOCK
ACC (Accessory): ACC lets you use things like the radio and the
windshield wipers when the engine is off.
To get into ACC, push in the key
and turn
it toward you. Your steering wheel will remain locked, just as it
was before you inserted the key.
2- 15

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
Prolonged operation of accessories in the ACC position could
drain your battery and prevent you from starting your vehicle.
LOCK: This position locks your ignition, steering wheel and transmission.
It’s a theft deterrent feature. You will only be able to remove your key when
the ignition is turned to LOCK.
OFF: This position lets you turn off the engine but still turn the steering
wheel. Use
OFF if you must have your vehicle in motion while the engine
is off (for example,
if your vehicle is being pushed).
RUN: This is the position for driving.
START This starts your engine.
NOTICE:
If your key seems stuck in “LOCK” and you can’t turn it, be
sure it is all the way in. If it is, then turn the steering wheel left
and right while you turn the key hard. But turn the key only
with your hand. Using
a tool to force it could break the key or
service.

key release lever
is
used.
To Remove the Key
Turn the key to the LOCK position while pressing the key release lever
down at the same time. Keeping your finger on the lever,
pull the key
straight
out.
On automatic transmission vehicles, turn the key to LOCK and pull it
straight out.
Starting Your Engine
Engines start differently. The 8th digit of your Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN) shows the code letter or number for your engine. You will
find the VIN at the top left of your instrument panel. (See “Vehicle
Identification Number” in the Index.) Follow the proper steps to start the
engine.
Automatic transmission:
Move your shift lever to “P” (Park) or “N” (Neutral). Your engine won’t
start
in any other position - that’s a safety feature. To restart when you’re
already moving, use “N” (Neutral)
only.
NOTICE:
Don’t try to shift to “P” (Park) if your vehicle is moving. If you
do, you could damage the transmission. Shift to “P” (Park) only
when your vehicle is stopped.
Manual transmission:
Hold the clutch pedal to the floor, then shift your gear selector to neutral
while starting
the engine. Your vehicle won’t start if the clutch pedal is not
all the way down - that’s a safety feature.

NOTICE:
If you drive too quickly through deep puddles or standing water,
water can come in through your engine's air intake and badly damage your engine.
If you can't avoid deep puddles or standing
water, drive through them very slowly.
Engine Coolant Heater (Engine Block Heater)
(Option)
4.3 Liter:
I. Engine coolant
heater cord cap
2. Engine coolant
heater cord strap
In very cold weather,
0°F (- 18 "C) or colder, the engine coolant heater can
help. You'll get easier starting and better fuel economy during engine
warm-up. Usually, the coolant heater should be plugged in a minimum
of
four hours prior to starting your vehicle.
To use the coolunt heater:
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Open the hood and unwrap the electrical cord.
3. Plug it into a normal, grounded 1 10-volt outlet.
2-19

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTICE:
After you’ve used the coolant heater, be sure to store the cord as
it was before to keep
it away from moving engine parts. If you
don’t,
it could be damaged.
How long should you keep the coolant heater plugged in? The answer
depends
on the weather, the kind of oil you have, and some other things.
Instead
of trying to list everything here, we ask that you contact a GM
dealer in the area where you’ll be parking your vehicle. The dealer can give
you the best advice for that particular area.
Automatic Transmission

There are several
different positions for
your shift lever.
P (Park) - This locks your rear wheels. It’s the best position to use
when you start your engine because your vehicle can’t move easily.

If you have this feature, your rear axle can give you additional traction on
snow, mud, ice, sand or gravel. It works like a standard axle most of the
time, but when one of the rear wheels has no traction and the other does, the
locking feature will allow the wheel with traction
to move the vehicle.
