Vehicle Security
Vehicle theft is big business,
especially in some cities. This
vehicle has theft-deterrent features,
however, they do not make it
impossible to steal.
Anti-Theft Alarm System
This vehicle has a content
theft-deterrent alarm system.
The security light is located on the
instrument panel cluster.
To arm the system:
1. Close all the doors.
2. Lock the doors with the RemoteKeyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
The security light flashes. If the lock button on the RKE
transmitter is pressed, but a door is
open, the doors lock, the lights may
flash and the horn may sound.
Close the open door to arm the
system.
The alarm goes off if a locked door
is not opened using the RKE
transmitter, or by OnStar
®.
A pre-alarm sounds the horn at
reduced intensity for 10 seconds.
Then, the front turn signal lamps
flash for two minutes, and the horn
sounds for two minutes. The alarm
then turns off to save battery power.
Start the engine to turn off the
alarm.
The theft-deterrent system does
not activate if the doors are locked
with the key, the manual door lock,
or power door lock switch. The
system can only be activated using
the RKE transmitter, or by OnStar.
See the OnStar Owner's Guide for
additional information. The vehicle
can be started with the correct key if
the alarm has been set off.

2-10 Keys, Doors and Windows
To avoid setting off the alarm by
accident:
.Lock the vehicle with the manual
door lock lever, the power door
lock switch, or the key, after the
doors are closed.
.Unlock the doors by pressing
the unlock button on the RKE
transmitter or by contacting
OnStar. Unlocking a door any
other way activates the alarm.
Press unlock on the RKE
transmitter, start the vehicle with
the correct key, or have OnStar
unlock the doors to turn the alarm
off. The alarm does not stop if a
door is unlocked any other way.
Testing the Alarm
To test the alarm:
1. From inside the vehicle, lock the doors with the RKE transmitter.
2. Unlock the door with the manual door lock and open the door.
The pre-alarm should sound
followed by the full alarm about
10 seconds later.
3. Press the unlock button on the RKE transmitter or start the
engine to turn the alarm off.
If the alarm does not sound but the
lights flash, check to see if the horn
works. The horn fuse could be
blown. To replace the fuse, see
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
on
page 10‑39.
If the alarm does not sound or the
front turn signal lamps do not flash,
see your dealer for service.

status of the vehicle has changed
and that some action may be
needed by the driver to correct
the condition. Multiple messages
may appear one after another.
The messages are displayed for
several seconds each.
Some messages may not require
immediate action, but you should
press and release the trip odometer
reset stem to acknowledge that
you received the messages and to
clear them from the display. Each
message must be acknowledged
individually.
Some messages cannot be cleared
from the DIC display because they
are more urgent. These messages
require action before they can be
cleared. You should take any
messages that appear on the display seriously and remember that
clearing the messages only makes
the messages disappear, not correct
the problem.
The following are the possible
messages that can be displayed
and some information about them.
