horn CHEVROLET SSR 2004 1.G Owners Manual

Changes or modications to this system by other than
an authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
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:
Check the distance. You may be too far from your
vehicle. You may need to stand closer during
rainy or snowy weather.
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.
Check to determine if battery replacement is
necessary. See “Battery Replacement” under
Remote Keyless Entry System Operation on
page 2-4.
If you are still having trouble, see your dealer or a
qualied technician for service.
Remote Keyless Entry System
Operation
You can lock and unlock your doors and cargo area
from about 3 feet (1 m) up to 30 feet (9 m) away using
the remote keyless entry transmitter supplied with
your vehicle.
W(Unlock):When you
press unlock, the driver’s
door will unlock
automatically, the parking
lamps may ash, the
horn may sound, and the
interior lights will turn on.
2-4

If your vehicle has the memory seat feature and you
have previously programmed a seat position, the driver’s
seat will move to that position when you press the
unlock button. SeeMemory Seat on page 2-52for more
information.
Q(Lock):Press lock to lock all the doors. Press lock
again within three seconds and the horn will chirp.
F(Cargo Cover Release):To release the cargo
cover, press the button with this symbol on it. The
convertible top must be all the way up or down for this
feature to work properly. The cargo cover can also
be released using the cargo cover release button
located in the glovebox. SeeCargo Cover on page 2-31
for more information.
L(Remote Alarm):When the button with the horn
symbol on the remote keyless entry transmitter is
pressed, the horn will sound and the headlamps and
taillamps will ash for up to 30 seconds. This can
be turned off by pressing the horn button again, or by
waiting for 30 seconds, or by starting the vehicle.
You can program different feedback settings for up to
two drivers using the Driver Information Center (DIC).
For more information seeDriver Information
Center (DIC) on page 3-44.
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 a maximum of four
transmitters matched to it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about two years.
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.
The Driver Information Center (DIC) will display a RFA #
BATTERY LOW message when the transmitter battery
is low. SeeDIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-48.

Sun Visors
To block out glare, you can swing down the sun visors.
You can also move them from side to side.
Lighted Visor Vanity Mirrors
Pull the visor down and lift the cover to expose the
mirror. The light will automatically come on. The light will
go out when you close the cover.
Theft-Deterrent Systems
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.
Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle is equipped with a content theft-deterrent
alarm system.With this system, the
security light will ash
as you open the door
(if your ignition is off).
This light reminds you to activate the theft-deterrent
system. Here’s how to do it:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or
the remote keyless entry transmitter. The security
light should come on and stay on.
3. Close all doors. The security light should go off
after approximately 30 seconds. The alarm is not
armed until the security light goes off.
If a locked door is opened with the key, without the key,
or without the remote keyless entry transmitter, the
alarm will go off. The headlamps and parking lamps will
ash for two minutes, and the horn will sound for
30 seconds, then will turn off to save the battery power.
You can disable the alarm using the remote keyless
entry transmitter or by putting the key in the ignition and
starting the vehicle.
2-11

Remember, the theft-deterrent system won’t activate if
you lock the doors with a key or use the manual
door lock. It activates only if you use a power door lock
switch with the door open, or with the remote keyless
entry transmitter. You should also remember that
you can start your vehicle with the correct ignition key if
the alarm has been set off.
Here’s how to avoid setting off the alarm by accident:
If you don’t want to activate the theft-deterrent
system, the vehicle should be locked with the door
keyafterthe doors are closed.
Always unlock a door with a key, or use the remote
keyless entry transmitter. Unlocking a door any
other way will set off the alarm.
If you set off the alarm by accident, unlock any door
with the key. You can also turn off the alarm by
pressing unlock on the remote keyless entry transmitter.
The alarm won’t stop if you try to unlock a door any
other way.
Testing the Alarm
The alarm can be tested by following these steps:
1. From inside the vehicle, lower the driver’s window
and open the driver’s door.
2. Activate the system by locking the doors with the
power door lock switch while the door is open, or
with the remote keyless entry transmitter.
3. Get out of the vehicle, close the door and wait for
the security light to go out.
4. Then reach in through the window, unlock the door
with the manual door lock and open the door. This
should set off the alarm.
When the alarm is set the power door unlock switch is
not operational.
If the alarm does not sound when it should but the
headlamps ash, check to see if the horn works. The
horn fuse may be blown. To replace the fuse, seeFuses
and Circuit Breakers on page 5-84.
If the alarm does not sound or the headlamps do not
ash, the vehicle should be serviced by your dealer.
