Keyless Entry System
Move the button up to
engage the security
feature. Move the button
down to return the door
locks
to normal operation.
If your vehicle has
this option, you can lock and unlock
your doors from about
3 feet (1 m) up to 30 feet (9 m)
away using the remote keyless entry transmitter supplied
with your vehicle. ~
Your Keyless Entry System operates on a radio frequency
subject to Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Rules and with Industry and Science 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 harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation. This device
complies with
RSS-210 of Industry and
Science Canada. Operation
is subject to the following
two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause
interference, and
(2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation of the device.
Changes or modifications to this system by other than an
authorized service facility could void authorization
to
use this equipment.
This system has
a range of about 3 feet (1 m) up to
30 feet (9 m). At times you may notice a decrease in
range. This is normal for any remote keyless entry
system.
If the transmitter does not work or if you
have to stand closer to your vehicle for the transmitter
to work, try this:
0 Check to determine if battery replacement or
transmitter resynchronization is necessary. See the
instructions that follow.
0 Check the distance. You may be too far from your
vehicle. You may need to stand closer during rainy
or snowy weather.
0 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.
0 If you’re still having trouble, see your GM dealer or
a qualified technician for service.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Operation
To unlock the driver’s door, press the UNLOCK button.
If you press
this button again within five seconds, all
the doors will unlock. Press the
REAR button twice
to unlock the rear door
only. When the UNLOCK or
REAR button is pressed, the interior dome lamps are
turned on for
40 seconds or until the ignition switch
is activated. Press
LOCK to lock all the doors.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your key remote
keyless entry transmitter should last about two years.
Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry 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,
any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have only two transmitters
matched to
it.
You can tell the battery is 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 battery.
I 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.
