You
may have
to
synchronize your transmitter to
the receiver in your vehicle. See the instructions
for synchronization.
You may have to match the transmitters to your
vehicle. See instructions.
If none
of
the above apply, see your Chevrolet dealer
or qualified technician for service.
Synchronization
Synchronization may be necessary due to the security
method used by the Remote Keyless Entry system. The
transmitter does not send the same signal twice to the
receiver. The receiver will not respond to a signal it has
been sent previously. This prevents anyone from recoding
and playing back the signal from the transmitter.

resynchronize the transmitter with
the
receiver:

While standing close to your vehicle, simultaneously
press and hold the LOCK and
UNLOCK
buttons on
the transmitter for eight seconds. The door locks
should cycle and the parking lamps flash to confirm
synchronization. If this does not happen, you may
need to replace the battery in your transmitter
or
match the transmitter
to
your vehicle.
Transmitter Verification
(If
Equipped)
This feature provides feedback to the holder
of
the
Remote Keyless Entry transmitter that a command has
been received by the Remote Keyless Entry receiver.
The parking lamps will flash
on
every lock and unlock
command and the horn will sound only if the
LOCK
button is pushed twice within five seconds. This allows
for silent operation of locking and unlocking, unless a
confirming horn chirp is desired. Other options may be
selected for this feature (see “Feature Customization” in
the Index).
Matching Transmitter(s)
To
Your
Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can be
purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring any
remaining transmitters with you when you go to your
dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have up to four transmitters
matched
to
it.
