2-26 Exiting Programming Mode
To exit programming mode, turn the key from
ACCESSORY to OFF and put the BCM PRGRM
fuse back into the instrument panel fuse block.
After programming a feature, you can exit the
programming mode at anytime. Also, if your vehicle is
equipped with the content theft
-deterrent system,
remember to arm the system before exiting.
Dual Sliding Doors
To open either sliding door from outside the vehicle,
pull the handle out and then pull the door toward the
rear. If you slide the door all the way back, the door will
rest in a detent position.
To move the door forward, you must first pull the door
past the open detent position.
The driver's side sliding door is designed to open only a
little if the fuel door is open. If this ever happens, don't
try to force the sliding door. Just close the driver's side
sliding door. Then when the fuel filler door is closed, the
driver's side sliding door can be opened normally.
Sliding Door Lock

2-27
CAUTION:
If your vehicle is facing downward on a steep
grade (15 percent or more), the door may not
stay open and could slam shut, possibly injuring
someone. To make sure the door does not slam
shut, be sure to hold it open until everyone is
clear of the door, and only then allow it to
slowly close.
Lock either sliding door from inside the vehicle by
moving the manual lock lever down. Unlock it by
moving the lever up.
With power door locks, the sliding door lock has a delay
feature. See ªPower Door Locksº and ªMultifunction
Alarm Locks and Lighting Choicesº in the Index.

2-33
Sliding Door Security Lock
Your vehicle is equipped with a sliding door security
lock that helps prevent young children or other
passengers from opening the sliding door(s) by using the
inside door handle.
The security lock lever is
located on the inside of the
sliding door(s), on the front
edge of the door.
To access the lever, open the sliding door. Use the
security lock label on the edge of the door as a guide.
This lock is on both doors.To use the security lock, move the security lock lever all
the way up and close the door from the outside.
If your vehicle has the optional power sliding door(s),
you can override the security lock by pressing either
power door lock switch when the power sliding door
override switch(es) is turned off. When the power
sliding door override switch(es) is turned on, the power
sliding door(s) cannot be opened from the inside when
the sliding door security lock is in use.
If you want to open the sliding door when the security
lock is on, unlock the sliding door and open the door
from the outside.
You should let adults and older children know how the
security lock works, and how to cancel the lock. If you
don't, adults or older children who ride in the rear won't
be able to open the sliding door from the inside when
the security lock feature is in use.

2-34 Resetting the Power Sliding Door
The power sliding door may operate incorrectly or not at
all because of the following conditions:

A low voltage or dead battery,

disconnecting the battery, or

if the instrument panel PWR/HEATED SEAT PSD
fuse or the underhood fuse 5, 27 or 29 are removed
or blown.
See ªFuses and Circuit Breakersº in the Index for more
information about your fuse panel.
If any of these conditions occur, the power sliding door
will need to be reset. If your vehicle has the optional
dual power sliding doors, both doors will have to be
reset. To do this, follow the directions listed here. It will
be easier if you read through them once before
beginning this procedure.
1. Check to be sure the power sliding door is unlocked
and securely closed.
2. Turn the ignition key to OFF.
3. If on, turn off the power sliding door override
switch off.4. Remove the fuse 29 from the underhood fuse block.
Leave it out for 30 seconds.
5. Reinstall the fuse and wait 10 seconds.
6. Turn the power sliding door override switch on.
7. Press either of the power door lock switches to open
the power sliding door.
8. Open the door.
9. Wait five seconds and close the door by pressing
either power door lock switch.
10. Wait five seconds and repeat Steps 7 through 9.
If the door does not rest in the fully open position
after repeating Step 7, repeat Steps 7 through 9 again.
If the door still does not operate correctly, see your
dealer for service.
Canceling the Sliding Door Security Lock
1. Unlock the sliding door and open the door from
the outside.
2. Move the security lock lever all the way down.
The sliding door lock will now work normally.

2-35
Liftgate
To unlock the liftgate from the outside, turn the key in
the cylinder clockwise or use the optional remote
keyless entry transmitter. To lock the liftgate using the
key, turn the key counterclockwise.
Open the liftgate using the handle above the license
plate. Once slightly opened, the liftgate will rise by
itself. Lamps in the rear of the vehicle will come on,
illuminating the rear cargo area. See ªInterior Lampsº
in the Index.
NOTICE:
Be sure there are no overhead obstructions, such
as a garage door, before you open the liftgate.
You could slam the liftgate into something and
break the glass.
CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the liftgate
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You can't see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the liftgate open or if
electrical wiring or other cable connections
must pass through the seal between the body
and the liftgate:

Make sure all other windows are shut.

Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting
on vent and the outside air button pressed.
That will force outside air into your vehicle.
See ªComfort Controlsº
in the Index.

If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the way.
See ªEngine Exhaustº in the Index.

2-36
To close the liftgate, pull down on the handle, then
firmly shut the liftgate. Don't drive with the liftgate
open, even slightly. See ªEngine Exhaustº in the Index.
A message in your message center will warn you if the
liftgate is not completely closed. See ªRear Hatch Ajar
Warning Messageº in the Index.
Theft
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.
Key in the Ignition
If you leave your vehicle with the keys inside, it's an
easy target for joy riders or professional thieves
-- so
don't do it.
When you park your vehicle and open the driver's door,
you'll hear a chime reminding you to remove your key
from the ignition and take it with you. Always do this.
Your steering wheel will be locked, and so will your
ignition and transaxle. Also remember to lock the doors.

2-37
Parking at Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables out of sight.
Put them in a storage area, or take them with you.
Parking Lots
Even if you park in a lot where someone will be
watching your vehicle, it's still best to lock it up and
take your key. But what if you have to leave your
key? What if you have to leave something valuable in
your vehicle?

Put your valuables in a storage area, like your
glove box.

If your vehicle has a remote keyless entry system,
take the transmitter with you.

Lock all the doors except the driver's.
Content Theft-Deterrent (Option)
If your vehicle has this option, it has a theft-deterrent
alarm system.
A light located on top of your instrument panel (near the
center of the vehicle, next to the windshield) will flash
slowly to let you know that the system has been armed.
While armed, the doors will not unlock with the power
door lock switch.

2-38
Once armed, the alarm will go off if someone tries to
enter the vehicle (without using the remote keyless
entry transmitter or a key), breaks a window, tries to
damage the vehicle or turns the ignition to ON. The
horn will sound and the parking lamps will flash for up
to two minutes.
When the alarm is armed, the liftgate may be opened
with the remote keyless entry transmitter or with a key.
Arming with the Power Lock Switch
Your alarm system will arm when you use either power
door lock switch to lock the doors while any door or the
liftgate is open and the key is removed from the ignition.
If you would like to turn on power door lock switch
arming, see ªMultifunction Alarm Locks and Lighting
Choicesº in the Index.
When the security light flashes quickly the system is
ready to arm with the power door lock switches. Then
the security light will stop flashing and stay on when
you press the rear of the power door lock switch, to let
you know the system is arming. After all doors and the
liftgate are closed and locked, the security light will
begin flashing at a very slow rate to let you know the
system is armed.
Arming with the Remote Keyless
Entry Transmitter
Your alarm system will arm when you use your remote
keyless entry transmitter to lock the doors, if the key is
not in the ignition. The security light will turn on to let
you know the system is arming. After all doors and the
liftgate are closed and locked, the security light will
begin flashing at a very slow rate to let you know the
system is armed.
Arming with Your Key
Your alarm system will arm when you use your key to
lock the doors. The security light will turn on to let you
know the system is arming. After all doors and the
liftgate are closed and locked, the security light will
begin flashing at a very slow rate to let you know the
system is armed. If you would like your key not to arm
the system, see ªMultifunction Alarm Locks and
Lighting Choicesº in the Index.

2-39
Arming Confirmation
If remote unlock confirmation is on, your parking
lamps will flash briefly to let you know when your
alarm system has disarmed. If you would not like the
parking lamps to flash, see ªMultifunction Alarm Locks
and Lighting Choicesº in the Index.
Disarming with the Remote Keyless
Entry Transmitter
Your alarm system will disarm when you use your
remote keyless entry transmitter to unlock the doors.
The security light will stop flashing to let you know the
system is no longer armed.
Disarming with Your Key
Your alarm system will disarm when you use your key
to unlock the doors. The security light will stop flashing
to let you know the system is no longer armed. If you
would like your key not to disarm the alarm system, see
ªMultifunction Alarm Locks and Lighting Choicesº in
the Index.
Nuisance Alarms
If you experience nuisance alarms (alarms which are not
caused by the opening of a door or the liftgate and are
not desirable), you may need to reduce the damage
detection sensitivity. Try programming the content
theft
-deterrent to Mode 1.
If you continue to experience nuisance alarms, you
may want to try turning off damage detection by
programming your content theft
-deterrent to Mode 2.
If you are still having trouble with nuisance alarms, you
can turn off the content theft
-deterrent system by
programming your content theft
-deterrent to Mode 3.
See ªMultifunction Alarm Locks and Lighting Choicesº
in the Index for more information. See your dealer or
qualified technician for service.

2-41
If the engine still does not start, and the key appears to be
undamaged, try another ignition key. At this time, you
may also want to check the instrument panel PASS KEY
fuse. If the engine still does not start with the other key,
your vehicle needs service. If your vehicle does start, the
first key may be faulty. See your dealer or a locksmith
who can service the PASS
-Key III to have a new key
made. See ªFuses and Circuit Breakersº in the Index.
It is possible for the PASS
-Key III decoder to learn
the transponder value of a new or replacement key.
Up to 10 additional keys may be programmed for the
vehicle. This procedure is for learning additional keys
only. If all the currently programmed keys are lost or
do not operate, you must see your dealer or a locksmith
who can service PASS
-Key III to have keys made
and programmed to the system.
See your dealer or a locksmith who can service
PASS
-Key III to get a new key blank that is a cut
exactly as the ignition key that operates the system.
Canadian Owners: If you lose or damage your keys,
only a GM dealer can service PASS
-Key III to have new
keys made. To program additional keys you will need
two current driver's keys (black in color). You must add
a step to the following procedure. After Step 3 repeat
Steps 1 through 3 with the second current driver's key.
Then continue with Step 4.To program the new key:
1. Verify the new key has PK3 stamped on it.
2. Insert the ignition key in the ignition and start
the engine. If the engine will not start see your dealer
for service.
3. After the engine has started, turn the key to OFF and
remove the key.
4. Insert the key to be programmed and turn it to RUN
within 10 seconds of removing the previous key.
5. The security message will turn off once the key has
been programmed. It may not be apparent that the
security message went on due to how quickly the key
is programmed.
6. Repeat Steps 1 through 4 if additional keys are
to be programmed.
If you are ever driving and the security message comes
on and stays on, you will be able to restart your engine
if you turn it off. Your PASS
-Key III system, however,
is not working properly and must be serviced by
your dealer. Your vehicle is not protected by the
PASS
-Key III system at this time.
If you lose or damage a PASS
-Key III key, see your
dealer or a locksmith who can service PASS
-Key III to
have a new key made.
