If the driver door is opened without first
unlocking with the remote key, the horn will
chirp and the lights will flash to indicate
pre-alarm. If the vehicle is not started, or the door is not unlocked by pressing

alarm if it has been activated, do one of the
following:
.PressKon the remote key.
.Unlock the vehicle using the Keyless
Access system.
.Start the vehicle.
To avoid setting off the alarm by accident:

key or use the Keyless Access system.
Unlocking the driver door with the key will
not disarm the system or turn off the alarm.
How to Detect a Tamper Condition
IfKis pressed on the remote key and the
horn chirps and the lights flash three times,
a previous alarm occurred while the system
was armed.
If the alarm has been activated, a message
will appear on the DIC.
Inclination Sensor and Intrusion Sensor
In addition to the standard theft-deterrent
system features, this system may also have
an inclination sensor and intrusion sensor.
The inclination sensor can activate the alarm
if it senses movement of the vehicle, such
as a change in vehicle orientation.
The intrusion sensor monitors the vehicle
interior, and can activate the alarm if it
senses unauthorized entry into the vehicle’s
interior. Do not allow passengers or pets to
remain in the vehicle when the intrusion
sensor is activated.
Before arming the theft-deterrent system
and activating the intrusion sensor:
.Make sure both doors and windows are
completely closed.
.Secure any loose items such as
sunshades.

.Make sure there are no obstructions
blocking the sensors.
Intrusion and Inclination Sensors Disable
Switch
It is recommended that the intrusion and
inclination sensors be deactivated if pets are
left in the vehicle or if the vehicle is being
transported.
When the roof panel is off, or the
convertible top is down, the intrusion
system is turned off.
With the vehicle turned off, press
oon the
overhead console, next to OnStar. The
indicator light will display momentarily,
indicating that these sensors have been
disabled until the next time the alarm
system is armed.
Immobilizer
See Radio Frequency Statement 0327.
Immobilizer Operation
The vehicle has a passive theft-deterrent
system.
The security light comes on in the
instrument cluster if there is a problem with
arming or disarming the theft-deterrent
system. This light also comes on briefly
when the engine is started.
The system is automatically armed when
the ignition is turned off.
The immobilization system is disarmed
when the ignition is turned on or placed in
accessory mode and a valid remote key is
found in the vehicle.
You do not have to manually arm or disarm
the system.
The system has one or more remote keys
that are matched to an immobilizer control
unit in the vehicle. Only a correctly matched
remote key starts the vehicle. The vehicle
may not start if the remote key is damaged. If the engine does not start and the security
light comes on, there may be a problem
with the immobilizer system. Try starting
the vehicle again.
If the vehicle does not start and the remote
key appears to be undamaged, try another
remote key. Or, place the remote key in the
cupholder backup location. See
Remote Key
Operation 07. If the engine still does not
start with the other remote key, or with the
remote key in the cupholder backup
location, the vehicle needs service. If the
engine does start, the first remote key may
be faulty. See your dealer or have a new
remote key programmed to the vehicle.
The immobilizer system can learn new or
replacement remote keys. Up to eight
remote keys can be programmed for the
vehicle. To program additional remote keys,
see “Programming Remote Keys to the
Vehicle” underRemote Key Operation 07.
Do not leave the remote key or device that
disarms or deactivates the theft-deterrent
system in the vehicle.

Identifying Driver Number
The vehicle identifies the current driver by
their remote key number 1–8. The current
remote key number may be identified by
Driver Information Center (DIC) welcome
message, “You are driver x for memory
recalls.” This message is displayed the first
few times the vehicle is turned on when a
different remote key is used. For Seat Entry
Memory to work properly, save positions to
the 1 or 2 memory button matching the
driver number of this welcome message. To
aid in identifying remote key IDs, it is
recommended to only carry one remote key
when entering the vehicle. Perform the
following if the welcome message is not
displayed:
1. Move all remote keys away from the vehicle.
2. Start the vehicle with another remote key. A DIC welcome message should
display indicating the driver number of
the other remote key. Turn the vehicle
off and remove the other remote key
from the vehicle. 3. Start the vehicle with the initial remote
key. The DIC welcome message should

Start 012.Seat Belts
This section describes how to use seat belts
properly, and some things not to do.
{Warning
Do not let anyone ride where a seat belt
cannot be worn properly. In a crash,
if you or your passenger(s) are not
wearing seat belts, injuries can be much
worse than if you are wearing seat belts.
You can be seriously injured or killed by
hitting things inside the vehicle harder or
by being ejected from the vehicle. In
addition, anyone who is not buckled up
can strike other passengers in the vehicle.
It is extremely dangerous to ride in a
cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle.
In a collision, passengers riding in these
areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed. Do not allow passengers
to ride in any area of the vehicle that is
not equipped with seats and seat belts.
Always wear a seat belt, and check that
all passenger(s) are restrained
properly too. This vehicle has indicators as a reminder to
buckle the seat belts. See
Seat Belt
Reminders 084.
Why Seat Belts Work
When riding in a vehicle, you travel as fast
as the vehicle does. If the vehicle stops
suddenly, you keep going until something
stops you. It could be the windshield, the
instrument panel, or the seat belts!
When you wear a seat belt, you and the
vehicle slow down together. There is more
time to stop because you stop over a longer
distance and, when worn properly, your
strongest bones take the forces from the
seat belts. That is why wearing seat belts
makes such good sense.

Universal Remote System
Programming
If equipped, these buttons are in the
sunshade.
This system can replace up to three remote
control transmitters used to activate devices
such as garage door openers, security
systems, and home automation devices.
These instructions refer to a garage door
opener, but can be used for other devices.
Do not use the Universal Remote system
with any garage door opener that does not
have the stop and reverse feature. This
includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982. Keep the original hand-held transmitter for
use in other vehicles as well as for future
programming. Erase the programming when
vehicle ownership is terminated. See
“Erasing Universal Remote System Buttons”
later in this section.
To program a garage door opener, park
outside directly in line with and facing the
garage door opener receiver. Clear all people
and objects near the garage door.
Make sure the hand-held transmitter has a
new battery for quick and accurate
transmission of the radio-frequency signal.
Programming the Universal Remote
System
Programming involves time-sensitive actions
and may time out, requiring the procedure
to be repeated. Read these instructions
completely before programming the
Universal Remote system. It may help to
have another person assist with the
programming process.
1. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter about 3 to 8 cm (1 to 3 in)
away from the Universal Remote system
buttons with the indicator light in view.
