Theft-Deterrent
Systems
Vehicle theft is big business,
especially in some cities.
This vehicle has theft-deterrent
features, however, they do not
make it impossible to steal.
Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle may have a content
theft-deterrent alarm system.
The security light is located near the
center of the instrument panel.To arm the theft-deterrent system,
press
Qon the RKE transmitter
when all doors and the hood
(vehicles started with the remote
start feature only) are closed.
The security light will come on solid
for approximately 30 seconds and
then ashes slowly. If
Qon the RKE
transmitter is pressed a second time,
the theft-deterrent system will
activate immediately, bypassing the
30 second delay. The content theft
deterrent alarm is not armed until
the security light ashes slowly.
If any door, liftgate or the hood
(vehicles started with the remote
start feature only) are opened
without using the key or pressing
K
on the RKE transmitter, the exterior
lamps ash and the horn will sound
for about 30 seconds. If
QorKonthe RKE transmitter is not pressed,
the alarm sounds and periodically
repeats. If the system does not
operate as described above, see
your dealer/retailer for service.
The theft-deterrent system also
activates if you lock the doors
with a key.
To avoid setting off the alarm by
accident, always unlock a door
with the RKE transmitter or a key.
Unlocking a door any other way
will set off the alarm if the system
has been armed.
If you set off the alarm by accident,
turn off the alarm by pressing
QorK
on the RKE transmitter or by placing
the key in the ignition and turning it to
START.

How OnStar Service Works
The OnStar system can record
and transmit vehicle information.
This information is automatically
sent to an OnStar Call Center when
the OnStar button is pressed, the
emergency button is pressed, or if
the airbags or AACN system deploy.
This information usually includes
the vehicle’s GPS location and,
in the event of a crash, additional
information regarding the crash that
the vehicle was involved in (e.g. the
direction from which the vehicle was
hit). When the Virtual Advisor feature
of OnStar Hands-Free Calling is
used, the vehicle also sends OnStar
the vehicle’s GPS location so they
can provide services where it is
located.OnStar service cannot work
unless the vehicle is in a place
where OnStar has an agreement
with a wireless service provider for
service in that area. OnStar service
also cannot work unless the vehicle
is in a place where the wireless
service provider OnStar has hired
for that area has coverage, network
capacity and reception when the
service is needed, and technology
that is compatible with the OnStar
service. Not all services are available
everywhere, particularly in remote
or enclosed areas, or at all times.
Location information about the
vehicle is only available if the GPS
satellite signals are unobstructed
and available.
The vehicle must have a working
electrical system, including adequate
battery power, for the OnStar
equipment to operate. There areother problems OnStar cannot
control that may prevent OnStar
from providing OnStar service at
any particular time or place. Some
examples are damage to important
parts of the vehicle in a crash, hills,
tall buildings, tunnels, weather or
wireless phone network congestion.
Your Responsibility
Increase the volume of the radio if
the OnStar advisor cannot be heard.
If the light next to the OnStar buttons
is red, the system may not be
functioning properly. Press the
OnStar button and request a vehicle
diagnostic. If the light appears clear
(no light is appearing), your OnStar
subscription has expired and all
services have been deactivated.
Press the OnStar button to conrm
that the OnStar equipment is active.

Do not use the Universal Home
Remote with any garage door
opener that does not have the stop
and reverse feature. This includes
any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982.
Read the instructions completely
before attempting to program the
Universal Home Remote. Because of
the steps involved, it may be helpful
to have another person available to
assist you in the programming the
Universal Home Remote.
Keep the original hand-held
transmitter for use in other vehicles
as well as for future Universal Home
Remote programming. It is also
recommended that upon the sale
of the vehicle, the programmed
Universal Home Remote buttons
should be erased for security
purposes. See “Erasing Universal
Home Remote Buttons” later in this
section.When programming a garage
door, park outside of the garage.
Park directly in line with and facing
the garage door opener motor-head
or gate motor-head. Be sure that
people and objects are clear of the
garage door or gate that is being
programmed.
It is recommended that a new
battery be installed in your hand-held
transmitter for quicker and more
accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency signal.
Programming the Universal
Home Remote System
For questions or help programming
the Universal Home Remote System,
call 1-800-355-3515 or go to
homelink.com.
Programming a garage door opener
involves time-sensitive actions, so
read the entire procedure before

begins to ash, after 20 seconds.
This step will erase the factory
settings or all previously
programmed buttons.
Do not hold down the buttons for
longer than 30 seconds and do
not repeat this step to program
the remaining two Universal
Home Remote buttons.

2. Hold the end of your hand-held
transmitter about 1 to 3 inches
(3 to 8 cm) away from the
Universal Home Remote buttons
while keeping the indicator light in
view. The hand-held transmitter
was supplied by the manufacturer
of your garage door opener
receiver (motor head unit).
3. At the same time, press and hold
both the Universal Home Remote
button to be used to control the
garage door and the hand-held
transmitter button. Do not release
the Universal Home Remote
button or the hand-held
transmitter button until Step 4
has been completed.
Some entry gates and
garage door openers may
require substitution of Step 3
with the procedure noted in
“Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming” later in this
section.4. The indicator light on the
Universal Home Remote will
ash slowly at rst and then
rapidly after Universal Home
Remote successfully receives
the frequency signal from the
hand-held transmitter. Release
both buttons.
5. Press and hold the newly-trained
Universal Home Remote button
and observe the indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on
continuously, the programming is

continue programming Steps 6
through 8.
If the Universal Home Remote
indicator light blinks rapidly
for two seconds and then turns
to a constant light, continue
with the programming Steps 6
through 8.It may be helpful to have another
person assist with the remaining
steps.
6. After Steps 1 through 5 have
been completed, locate inside
the garage the garage door
opener receiver (motor-head

programming from the Universal
Home Remote buttons.
Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming
If you have questions or need
help programming the Universal
Home Remote System, call
1-800-355-3515 or go to
homelink.com.
Canadian radio-frequency laws
require transmitter signals to time
out or quit after several seconds
of transmission. This may not be
long enough for Universal Home
Remote to pick up the signal during
programming. Similarly, some U.S.
gate operators are manufactured to
time out in the same manner.
If you live in Canada, or you are
having difficulty programming a
gate operator or garage door opener
by using the “Programming Universal
Home Remote” procedures,regardless of where you live,
replace Step 3 under “Programming
Universal Home Remote” with the
following:
Continue to press and hold the
Universal Home Remote button
while you press and release every
two seconds (cycle) the hand-held
transmitter button until the frequency
signal has been successfully
accepted by the Universal Home
Remote. The Universal Home
Remote indicator light will ash
slowly at rst and then rapidly.
Proceed with Step 4 under
“Programming Universal Home
Remote” to complete.
Using Universal Home Remote
Press and hold the appropriate
Universal Home Remote button for at
least half of a second. The indicator
light will come on while the signal is
being transmitted.
