Passenger Airbag Status

Indicator

Your vehicle is equipped with a

Passenger Sensing System located in

the front passenger seat for the front

passenger frontal airbag, and a passen-

ger airbag status indicator located on

the center of the instrument panel.

See Sections 1 and 3 of your Owner Manual.

Note:

It is recommended that children

not be placed in the front passenger

seat, even with the Passenger Sensing

System. All children should be secured

in a rear seat, including an infant riding

in a rear-facing infant seat, a child riding

in a forward-facing child seat or an older

child riding in a booster seat.

Content Theft-Deterrent System

(if equipped)

If your vehicle has the Remote Keyless

Entry (RKE) system, it also has a con-

tent theft-deterrent alarm system.

The content theft-

deterrent system is

armed when you

lock the doors with

the RKE transmitter

and all the doors

are closed. If the

lock button on the RKE transmitter is

pressed with a door open, the horn will

chirp several times. Close the door to

arm the system. The security light will

flash when the system is armed.

The system will not be armed if the

doors are locked with a key, the manual

door lock or the power door lock switch.

Alarm System

If a locked door is not opened using the

RKE transmitter or by OnStar, the horn

will chirp for several seconds and then

the alarm will sound. The alarm will flash

the front turn signal lamps and sound

the horn for two minutes. 

To prevent the alarm from sounding,

unlock the doors using the RKE trans-

mitter. To turn off the alarm, press the

unlock button on the RKE transmitter or

start the engine using the correct key.

PASSlock

®

Your vehicle also is equipped with the

PASSlock theft-deterrent system that

requires the correct key be used to start

the engine. If the correct key is not used

or the ignition lock cylinder is tampered

with, the fuel system is disabled and the

engine will not start.

See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.
