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.

The key, inside the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter, is used for
the driver door.

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