Remote Keyless Entry
OnStar
®
(if equipped)
Content Theft-Deterrent
System (if equipped)
The Remote Keyless Entry system locks
and unlocks the doors and liftglass from
a range of three to 30 feet. At times the
range may be shorter than usual, which
is normal. If the transmitter doesn’t
seem to be working properly:
• Ensure that you are within transmitter
range of the vehicle. Rainy and
snowy weather can reduce
transmitter range.
• Check to see whether other vehicles
or obstacles are blocking the
transmitter signal by stepping a few
feet to the left or right, and hold the
transmitter higher when pressing the
button(s).
• Consider the length of time that the
transmitter battery has been in
service and replace it if necessary.
See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.
The Content Theft-
Deterrent System
has an indicator
lamp to the left of the
steering wheel that is
labeled SECURITY.
After closing all vehi-
cle doors, the system
can be activated in
three ways:
• Press the Lock button on the
Remote Keyless Entry key fob.
• Press the power door Lock button.
• Lock the front doors manually with
the key.
If your vehicle is OnStar-equipped, the
Onstar system provides in-vehicle safe-
ty, security and phone services, avail-
able 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
With OnStar, you can enjoy such avail-
able services as:
• Automatic notification of air bag
deployment
• Emergency services assistance
• Roadside assistance
• Stolen vehicle tracking
• Remote door unlock (if equipped with
power door locks)
• Driving directions and location
assistance*
• OnStar Hands-Free Calling, a hands-
free, voice-activated service**
The system arms itself following a
30-second delay. At this time, the
SECURITY indicator light flashes.
If the alarm is tripped, the horn sounds
in intermittent blasts. The headlamps,
turn signals and interior lights also flash
to get visual attention. The alarm sounds
whenever any door or hatch is opened
by force, or if the battery is disconnected
and then reconnected. The alarm will
also sound whenever it is armed and the
rear hatch or liftglass is opened with a
key.
