⚠ Warning

Leaving children in a vehicle with a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is dangerous and children or others could be seriously injured or killed. They could operate the power windows or other controls or make the vehicle move. The windows will function with the RKE transmitter in the vehicle, and children or others could be caught in the path of a closing window. Do not leave children in a vehicle with an RKE transmitter.

Keys, Doors, and Windows

The key that is part of the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter can be used for all locks.

To remove the key, press the button near the bottom of the transmitter, and pull the key out. Never pull the
key out without pressing the button. If it becomes difficult to turn the key, inspect the key blade for debris. Periodically, clean the key with a brush or a pick.

See your dealer if a new key is needed. If locked out of the vehicle, see Roadside Assistance Program 0 316.
With an active OnStar or connected service plan, an OnStar Advisor may remotely unlock the vehicle. See OnStar Overview 0 326.

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System

See Radio Frequency Statement 0 322. If there is a decrease in the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) operating
range:

• Check the distance. The transmitter may be too far from the vehicle.
• Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may be blocking the signal.
• Check the transmitter’s battery. See “Battery Replacement” later in this section.
• If the transmitter is still not working correctly, see your dealer or a qualified technician for service.

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation

The Keyless Access system allows for vehicle entry when the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is within 1 m (3 ft). See “Keyless Access Operation” following. The transmitter functions may work up to 60 m (197 ft) away from the vehicle. Other conditions can impact the performance of the transmitter. See Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System 0 8.

Enabling Keyless Unlocking

With the vehicle off, press and hold and K on the RKE transmitter at the same time for approximately three seconds. The turn signal lamps will flash twice quickly to indicate access is enabled.

Passive Locking

The Keyless Access system will lock the vehicle several seconds after all doors are closed, if the vehicle is off and at least one RKE transmitter has been removed from the interior or none remain in the interior. If other electronic devices interfere with the RKE transmitter signal, the vehicle may not detect the RKE
transmitter inside the vehicle.

Battery Replacement

⚠ Warning

Never allow children to play with the RKE transmitter. The transmitter contains a small battery, which can be a choking hazard. If swallowed, internal burns can occur, resulting in severe injury or death. Seek medical attention immediately if a battery is swallowed.

⚠ Warning

To avoid personal injury, do not touch metal surfaces on the RKE transmitter when it has been exposed to extreme heat. These surfaces can be hot to the touch at temperatures above 59 °C (138 °F).

⚠ Caution

When replacing the battery, do not touch any of the circuitry on the transmitter. Static from your body could damage the transmitter.

The battery is not rechargeable. To replace the battery:

1. Press the button on the side of the transmitter near the bottom and pull the key out. Never pull the key out without pressing the button.

2. Separate the two halves of the transmitter using a flat tool inserted into the area near the key slot.

3. Remove the battery by pushing on the battery and sliding it toward the bottom of the transmitter.
4. Insert the new battery, positive side facing the back cover. Push the battery down until it is held in place. Replace with a CR2032 or equivalent battery.
5. Snap the battery cover back on to the transmitter.
6. Reinsert key into the transmitter.

Remote Start

This feature starts the heating or air conditioning systems and the rear window defogger from outside the vehicle. Use remote start to heat or cool the interior when the vehicle is plugged in to maximize electric range by utilizing electricity from the electrical outlet.

Windows

⚠ Warning

Never leave a child, a helpless adult, or a pet alone in a vehicle, especially with the windows closed in warm or hot weather. They can be overcome by the extreme heat and suffer permanent injuries or even death from heat stroke.

The vehicle aerodynamics are designed to improve electric range performance. This may result in a pulsing sound when either rear window is down and the front windows are up. To reduce the sound, open a front window.

Power Windows

⚠ Warning

Leaving children in a vehicle with the RKE transmitter is dangerous for many reasons; children or others could be badly injured or even killed. They could operate the power windows or other controls or even make the vehicle move.

The windows will function with the RKE transmitter in the vehicle and they could be seriously injured or killed if caught in the path of a closing window. Do not leave the RKE transmitter in a vehicle with children. When there are children in the rear seat, use the window lockout switch to prevent unintentional operation of the windows.

Press the switch to open the window. Pull the front of the switch up to close it. The window switches on the driver door control all windows.

The power windows only operate with the vehicle on or in Service Mode, or when Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is active.

Express Window Operation

The driver window has an express feature which allows the window to be lowered or raised without holding
the switch. To automatically raise or lower the window, pull the driver window switch up or press it down all the way and release. Stop the window by pressing or pulling the switch in the same direction a second time, or by briefly operating the switch to the first position in either direction. The front and rear passenger windows have express open only.

Safety Function

This is for vehicles with the express-up feature. If any object is in the path of the window when the
express-up feature is active, the window will stop and auto-reverse to a preset position. Weather conditions may cause the window to auto-reverse. The window switch may be held up to the second position to close the window. The window will return to normal operation once the obstruction or condition is removed.

Safety Function Override

This is for vehicles with the express-up feature. If the battery on the vehicle has been recharged or
disconnected, or is not working, the windows will need to be reprogrammed for the express-up feature to work. Before reprogramming, replace or recharge the vehicle’s battery. To program the driver window:

1. Close all doors with the vehicle on or in Service Mode.
2. Press and hold the power window switch until the window is fully open.
3. Pull the power window switch up until the window is fully closed.
4. Continue holding the switch up for approximately two seconds after the window is completely closed.
