passenger frontal airbag, and a passen-

Content Theft-Deterrent System
(if equipped)
If your vehicle has the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) system, it also has a con-
tent theft-deterrent alarm system.
The content theft-
deterrent system is
armed when you
lock the doors with
the RKE transmitter
and all the doors
are closed. If the
lock button on the RKE transmitter is
pressed with a door open, the horn will
chirp several times. Close the door to
arm the system. The security light will
flash when the system is armed.
The system will not be armed if the
doors are locked with a key, the manual
door lock or the power door lock switch.
Alarm System
If a locked door is not opened using the
RKE transmitter or by OnStar, the horn
will chirp for several seconds and then
the alarm will sound. The alarm will flash
the front turn signal lamps and sound
the horn for two minutes.
To prevent the alarm from sounding,
unlock the doors using the RKE trans-
mitter. To turn off the alarm, press the
unlock button on the RKE transmitter or
start the engine using the correct key.
PASSlock
®
Your vehicle also is equipped with the
PASSlock theft-deterrent system that
requires the correct key be used to start
the engine. If the correct key is not used
or the ignition lock cylinder is tampered
with, the fuel system is disabled and the
engine will not start.
