Warning

Leaving children in a vehicle with

the ignition key 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 keys in the

ignition, and children or others

could be caught in the path of a

closing window. Do not leave

children in a vehicle with the

ignition key.

Warning

If the key is unintentionally

rotated while the vehicle is

running, the ignition could be

moved out of the RUN position.

This could be caused by heavy

items hanging from the key ring,

or by large or long items attached

to the key ring that could be

contacted by the driver or

steering wheel. If the ignition

moves out of the RUN position,

the engine will shut off, braking

and steering power assist may be

impacted, and airbags may not

deploy. To reduce the risk of

unintentional rotation of the

ignition key, do not change the

way the ignition key and Remote

Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter,

if equipped, are connected to the

provided key rings.

The ignition key and key rings, and

RKE transmitter, if equipped, are

designed to work together as a

system to reduce the risk of

unintentionally moving the key out

of the RUN position. The ignition

key has a small hole to allow

attachment of the provided key ring.

It is important that any replacement

ignition keys have a small hole. See

your dealer if a replacement key is

required.

The combination and size of the

rings that came with your keys were

specifically selected for your

vehicle. The rings are connected to

the key like two links of a chain to

reduce the risk of unintentionally

moving the key out of the RUN

position. Do not add any additional

items to the ring attached to the

ignition key. Attach additional items

only to the second ring, and limit

added items to a few essential keys

or small, light items no larger than

an RKE transmitter.

Keys, Doors, and Windows 11

Interference from radio-frequency

identification (RFID) tags may

prevent the key from starting the

vehicle. Keep RFID tags away from

the key when starting the vehicle.

The key is used for the ignition, all

door locks, and the glove box.

If equipped with memory seats,

keys 1 and 2 are linked to seating

positions of memory 1 or 2. See

Memory Seats 0 58.

Programming Keys

Follow these procedures to program

up to eight keys to the vehicle.

Programming with Two

Recognized Keys

To program a new key:

1. Insert the original, already

programmed key in the ignition

and turn the ignition on.

2. Turn the ignition off, and

remove the key.

3. Quickly, within five seconds,

insert the second original

already programmed key in the

ignition and turn the ignition on.

4. Turn the ignition off, and

remove the key.

5. Insert the key to be

programmed and turn the

ignition on within five seconds.

6. After a few seconds, the

security light will turn off once

the key has been programmed.

7. Repeat Steps 1–5 if additional

keys are to be programmed.

If a key is lost or damaged, see your

dealer to have a new key made.

Programming without

Recognized Keys

Program a new key to the vehicle

when a recognized key is not

available. Canadian regulations

require that owners see their dealer.

If two currently recognized keys are

not available, follow this procedure

to program the first key.

This procedure will take

approximately 30 minutes to

complete for the first key. The

vehicle must be off and all of the

keys you wish to program must be

with you.

1. Insert the new vehicle key into

the ignition.

2. Turn the ignition on. The

security light will come on.

3. Wait 10 minutes until the

security light turns off.

4. Turn the ignition off.

5. Repeat Steps 2–4 two more

times. After the third time, turn

the ignition on; the key is

learned and all previously

known keys will no longer work

with the vehicle.

6. To learn a second key, turn the

ignition off, insert the second

key to be learned, and turn the

ignition on.

After two keys are learned, the

remaining keys can be learned by

following the procedure in

“Programming with Two

Recognized Keys.”

The key has a bar-coded key tag

that the dealer or qualified locksmith

can use to make new keys. Store

this information in a safe place, not

in the vehicle.

See your dealer if a replacement

key or additional key is needed.

If it becomes difficult to turn a key,

inspect the key blade for debris.

Periodically clean with a brush

or pick.

If locked out of the vehicle, see

Roadside Assistance Program

0 466.

With an active OnStar or connected

service plan, an OnStar Advisor

may remotely unlock the vehicle.

See OnStar Overview 0 476.

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.

Caution

Always replace the battery with

the correct type. Replacing the

battery with an incorrect type

could potentially create a risk of

battery explosion. Dispose of

used batteries according to

instructions and local laws. Do

not attempt to burn, crush, or cut

the used battery, and avoid

exposing the battery to

environments with extremely low

air pressures or high

temperatures.

Replace the battery in the

transmitter soon if the REPLACE

BATTERY IN REMOTE KEY

displays in the Driver Information

Center (DIC).

To replace the battery:

1. Separate and remove the back

cover of the transmitter with a

flat, thin object, such as a coin.

transmitter in the direction of

the key ring. Do not use a

metal object

3. Remove the battery.

4. Insert the new battery, positive

side facing up. Replace with a

CR2032 or equivalent battery.

5. Push together the transmitter

back cover top side first, and

then the bottom toward the

key ring.

Remote Keyless Entry
