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
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 Remote Key underDIC Operation and
Displays on page 191.

Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote
keyless entry transmitter should last about
four years.
You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter
will not work at the normal range in any location.
If you have to get close to your vehicle before
the transmitter works, it is probably time to change
the battery.
The REPLACE BATTERY IN REMOTE KEY
message in the vehicle’s DIC will display if the
remote keyless entry transmitter battery is
low. See “REPLACE BATTERY IN REMOTE KEY”
underDIC Warnings and Messages on page 199
for additional information.
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.To replace the battery in the remote keyless entry
transmitter do the following:
1. Use a at object with a thin edge into the
notch, located below the trunk release
button, and separate the bottom half from
the top half of the transmitter.
2. Remove the old battery, but do not use a
metal object to do this.

Notice:Do not use the emergency trunk

when securing items in the trunk as it could
damage the handle. The emergency trunk
release handle is only intended to aid a person

open the trunk from the inside.

located on the latch inside the trunk. This handle
will glow following exposure to light. Pull the release

switches are located on
