side down.
2.
Remove and replace the battery with
a three volt
3. Align the covers and snap them together.
4. Check the operation of the transmitter. Resynchronization may
be necessary due to the security
method used
by this system. The transmitter does not
send the same signal twice to the receiver. The receiver
will not respond to a signal it has been sent previously.
This prevents anyone from recording and playing back
the signal from the transmitter.
To resynchronize your transmitter, stand close to your
vehicle and simultaneously press
and hold the LOCK
and
UNLOCK buttons on the transmitter for at least
five seconds. The door locks should cycle to confirm
synchronization. If the locks
do not cycle,
see your dealer
for service.

collision, and
of course damage your vehicle. You
may be able to carry something like this inside.
But, never carry something longer or wider than
the luggage carrier on top
of your vehicle.

attached
to the roof to secure cargo. The moveable tie

GM accessory racks that are compatible with your
luggage carrier for transporting sports equipment.
These are available through your
GM dealer.
