8 (Lock): Press lock to lock all the doors. Press lock
again within three seconds and the horn may chirp.
2 (Panic): When the button with the horn symbol on
the key transmitter is pressed, the horn will sound
and the headlamps and taillamps will flash for up
to
30 seconds. This can be turned off by pressing the horn
button again, or by waiting for
30 seconds, or by
starting the vehicle.
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 a maximum of 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.
The Driver Information Center (DIC) will display a RFA
## BATTERY LOW message when the transmitter
battery is
low.
Nofice: 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.

Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your vehicle has a number of theft-deterrent
features, we know that nothing we put on it can make it
impossible
to steal. However, there are ways you
can help.
Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle may be equipped with a content
theft-deterrent alarm system.
SECURITY
4 I1
I I I I
United States Canada
Here’s how to operate the system:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch or
the remote keyless entry transmitter. The
SECURITY light should flash.
3. Close all doors. The SECURITY light should go off
after approximately 30 seconds. The alarm is not
armed until the SECURITY light goes
off.
If a locked door is opened without the key or the remote
keyless entry transmitter, the alarm will go
off. The
headlamps and parking lamps will flash for two minutes,
and the horn will sound for
30 seconds, then will turn
off to save the battery power.
Remember, the theft-deterrent system won’t activate
if
you lock the doors with a key or use the manual
door lock.
It activates only if you use a power door lock
switch with the door open, or with the remote keyless
entry transmitter. You should also remember that
you can start your vehicle with the correct ignition key
if
the alarm has been set off.
Here’s how to avoid setting off the alarm by accident:
If you don’t want to activate the theft-deterrent
system, the vehicle should be locked with the door
key
after the doors are closed.
0 Always unlock a door with a key, or use the remote
keyless entry transmitter. Unlocking a door any
other way will set
off the alarm.
If you set
off the alarm by accident, unlock any door with
the key. You can also turn
off the alarm by pressing
unlock on the remote keyless entry transmitter. The alarm
won’t stop
if you try to unlock a door any other way.
2-1 6

Testing the Alarm
The alarm can be tested by following these steps:
1. From inside the vehicle, lower the driver’s window
and open the driver’s door.
Passlock@
2. Activate the system by locking the doors with the
power door lock switch while the door is open, or
with the remote keyless entry transmitter.
3. Get out of the vehicle, close the door and wait for
the SECURITY light to go out.
4. Then reach in through the window, unlock the door
with the manual door lock and open the door. This
should set
off the alarm.
When the alarm is set the power door unlock switch
is
not operational.
If the alarm does not sound when it should but the
headlamps flash, check
to see if the horn works. The
horn fuse may be blown. To replace the fuse, see
Fuses
and Circuit Breakers on page
5-86.
If the alarm does not sound or the headlamps do not
flash, the vehicle should be serviced by your dealer. Your
vehicle is equipped with the
Passlock@ theft-deterrent system.
Passiock@
is a passive theit-deterrent system.
Passlock@ enables fuel
if the ignition lock cylinder is
turned with a valid key. If a correct key is not used or the
ignition lock cylinder is tampered with, the fuel system
is disabled and the vehicle will not start.
During normal operation, the SECURITY light will turn
off
approximately five seconds after the key is turned
to RUN.
If the engine stalls and the SECURITY light flashes,
wait about
10 minutes until the light stops flashing before
trying
to restart the engine. Remember to release the
key from START as soon as the engine starts.
If the engine does not start after three tries, the vehicle
needs service.
If the engine is running and the SECURITY light comes
on, you will be able
to restart the engine if you turn
the engine
off. However, your Passlock@ system is not
working properly and must be serviced by your
dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by Passlock@ at
this time. You may also want to check the fuse.
See
Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-86. See your
dealer for service.
In an emergency, call the GM Roadside Assistance
Center. See
Roadside Assistance Program on page 7-5.

4. Open both hoods and locate the batteries. Find the positive
(+) and negative (-) terminals on each
battery. Your vehicle has a remote negative
(-) jump
starting terminal. You should always use this
remote terminal instead of the terminal on the
battery. The remote negative
(-) terminal is located
on the front engine lift bracket and
is marked
“GND.” See Engine Compartment Overview on
page 5-72 for more information on location.
Using a match near
a battery can cause battery
gas to explode. People have been hurt doing
this, and some have been blinded. Use a flashlight
if you need more light.
Be sure the battery has enough water. You
don’t need to add water to the ACDelco@
battery installed in your new vehicle. But if a battery has filler caps, be sure the right
amount of fluid
is there. If it is low, add water
to take care of that first.
If you don’t, explosive
gas could be present.

Don’t let the other end touch anything until the next
step. The other end of the negative
(-) cable
doesn’t go to the dead battery. It goes to a heavy,
unpainted metal engine part or to the remote
negative
(-) terminal on the vehicle with the dead
battery. The remote negative
(-) terminal on
your vehicle is located on the front engine lift
bracket and is marked
“GND.”
9. Connect the other end of
the negative
(-) cable to
1 the remote negative (-)
terminal on the vehicle
with the dead battery.
10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run
the engine for a while.
11. Try to start the vehicle that had the dead battery. If
it Won’t start after a few tries, it probably needs
service.
Notice: Damage to your vehicle may result from
electrical shorting
if jumper cables are removed
incorrectly. To prevent electrical shorting, take care
that the cables don’t touch each other or any
other metal. The repairs wouldn’t be covered by
your warranty.
