Matching Transmitterfs) 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 17ZOdd 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.
Use two Duracell@ type
DL2016, or a similar type.

Before using your vehicle’s air conditioning, open the windows to clear the
vehicle of
hot air.
Using the recirculation function can also help. See “Recirculation Button”
in this section for more information.
The knob on the left side of the heating system control panel controls the
fan speed. The knob has four speed positions. To increase the air flow, move
the knob toward HI.
To decrease the air flow, move it toward LO. To turn
the fan off, move the knob to
OFF. If you have the air conditioner on,
moving the fan knob to OFF also turns off the A/C compressor.
The middle knob
on the control panel lets you select the relative
temperature
of the air flowing into the passenger area of your vehicle. This
knob will allow
you to adjust the relative air temperature independently of
the function knob setting. Move the knob right toward the red area for
warmer air. Move the knob left toward the blue area for cooler air.
With
A/C on, move the knob to MAX for maximum cooling. This setting
puts the system in the recirculation mode and helps to maximize your air
conditioner’s performance and your vehicle’s fuel economy. This setting
also cools the air
the fastest. After the vehicle’s interior reaches a
comfortable temperature, move
the knob clockwise to place the air
conditioning system
in the normal mode.
The right knob on the control panel changes the heatedair conditioning
setting.

the figure’s head, to divide airflow
between the heater floor
vents and windshield.
DEFROST
- This setting with the defrost symbol directs air through the
windshield defroster vents. This setting is useful when
you have fog or ice
on the windshield.
The control knob can be placed in any position between two heatedair
conditioning settings to blend the flow of air. The closer the knob
is to a
setting symbol, the more
the air flow will represent that symbol’s air flow
arrows.
RECIRCULATION BUTTON
- This button, between the left and middle
knobs, allows the air inside your vehicle to be recirculated. This setting
helps to maximize your air conditioner’s performance and your vehicle’s
