The master key works in
all of the lock cylinders
(driver’s door, trunk,
ignition and glove box).
The VALET key only
operates the driver’s door
and the ignition. Your
vehicle has the PASS-Key@ Ill vehicle theft
system. Both the master and VALET key have a
transponder
in the key head that matches a decoder in
the vehicle’s steering column.
If a replacement key
or any additional key is needed, you must purchase this
key from your dealer. The key will have PK3@ stamped
on it. Keep the bar code tag that came with the
original keys. Give this tag to your dealer
if you need a
new key made.
Any new PASS-Key@
Ill key must be programmed
before it will start your vehicle. See
PASS-Key“
111 Operation on page 2-21 for more information on
programming your new key.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Onstar@ System
with an active subscription and you lock your keys inside
the vehicle, Onstar@ may be able to send a command
to unlock your vehicle. See
OnStap System on
page 2-39 for more information.
Notice: Your vehicle has a number of features that
can help prevent theft. You can have a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle
if you ever lock
your keys inside. You may even have to damage
your vehicle to get in.
So be sure you have
spare keys.

Restraint System Check
Make sure the safety belt reminder light and all your
belts, buckles, latch plates, retractors and anchorages
are working properly. Look for any other loose or
damaged safety belt system parts.
If you see anything
that might keep a safety belt system from doing its
job, have it repaired. Have any torn or frayed safety belts
replaced.
Also look for any opened or broken air bag coverings,
and have them repaired or replaced. (The air bag
system does not need regular maintenance.)
Wiper Blade Check
Inspect wiper blades for wear or cracking. Replace
blade inserts that appear worn or damaged or that
streak or miss areas of the windshield.
Also see
“Windshield Wiper and Wiper Blades” under Cleaning
the Outside

damp weather more frequent application may be
required. See
Part D: Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page
6- 15.
