While this mode provides increased security, it can be a
problem if your remote keyless entry transmitter is
damaged, lost or if it fails to operate for any reason while
the content theft-deterrent system is armed. The
content theft-deterrent system must be disarmed for the
engine to run while in Mode 2; your key can no longer
disarm the system.
If your vehicle is equipped with the Onstar@ system,
Onstar@ will not be able to remotely unlock your vehicle
if it has been programmed to Mode 2.
Mode 3: Standard Arming and Disarming

The system will arm when you lock the doors using
either power door lock switch while any door or the
liftgate is open and the key is removed from the
ignition.
The system will arm when you lock the doors with
your key or remote keyless entry transmitter and
the key is removed from the ignition.
The system will disarm when you unlock the doors
with your key or remote keyless entry transmitter.
Before your vehicle was shipped from the factory, it was
programmed in Mode 1. The mode to which the
vehicle was programmed may have been changed since
it left the factory. To determine the mode to which
your vehicle is programmed or to program your vehicle
to a different mode, do the following:
1.
2.

Follow the instructions for Entering Programming
Mode on page 2-61.
Insert your spare key fully into any door key
cylinder and turn it to the unlock position.
This step is necessary to prevent accidental
programming of this feature to Mode 2. Do not
program this feature to Mode 2 without first reading
Mode 2 entirely. The door key cylinder must
remain in the unlock position during
Steps 2 through 4.
Press the button with the horn symbol on the
remote keyless entry transmitter.
Count the number of chimes you hear. The number
of chimes indicates the vehicle's current
programmed mode. (If you do not wish to change
the current mode, you can either exit the
programming mode by following the instructions
later in this section or program the next feature
available on vour vehicle.)
