Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Keyless Entry System (If Equipped)
If your vehicle has this option, you can lock and unlock
your doors or your tailgate from about
3 feet (1 m) up to
30 feet (9 m) away using the remote keyless entry
transmitter supplied with your vehicle.
In addition, your interior lamps will be illuminated for a
set period of time when the transmitter signal is received
by the Keyless Entry System.
Your Keyless Entry System operates on a radio
frequency subject
to Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) Rules and with Industry 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
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. 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:
Check to determine if battery replacement or
transmitter resynchronization is necessary. See the
instructions that follow.
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.
0 If you’re still having trouble, see your GM dealer or
a qualified technician for service.
Changes or modifications to this system by other than an
authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.

To unlock the driver’s door, press the UNLOCK button.
If you press this button again within five seconds, all the
remaining doors will unlock. The interior lamps will
come on for
40 seconds or until the ignition is turned on.
Press the
LOCK button to lock all the doors. The
interior lamps will come on for two seconds as soon as
all the doors are closed.
The rear cargo doors or tailgate glass will unlock
automatically when the REAR button on the transmitter
is pressed twice within three seconds. If your vehicle is
equipped with a rear liftglass, pressing the REAR button
twice within three seconds will release the liftglass, but
only if the transmission selector is in PARK
(P). The
interior lamps will come on for
40 seconds or until the
ignition is turned
on.
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 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.
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.
Use one three volt, type CR2032, or equivalent battery.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Fluid Leak Check
After the vehicle has been parked for a while, inspect
the surface under the vehicle for water, oil, fuel or other
fluids. Water dripping from the air conditioning system
after
it has been used is normal. If you notice fuel leaks
or fumes, the causes should be found and corrected
at once.
Battery
Every new vehicle has a Delco Freedom@ battery. You
never have to add water to one of these. When it’s time
for a new battery, we recommend a Delco Freedom
battery. Get one that has the replacement number shown
on the original battery’s label.
Vehicle Storage
If you’re not going to drive your vehicle for 25 days
or more, take off the black, negative
(-) cable from
the battery. This will help keep your battery from
running down.
/d CAUTION:
Batteries have acid that can burn you and gas
that can explode. You can be badly hurt if
you
aren’t careful. See “Jump Starting” in the Index
for tips on working around a battery without
getting hurt.
Contact your dealer to learn how to prepare your vehicle
for longer storage periods.
Also, for your audio system, see “Theft-Deterrent
Feature” in the Index.
