Important: Different keyless entry systems are used on General Motors vehicles.
The parts are not interchangeable even though the parts may appear to be similar.
Observe the back of the transmitter in order to properly identify the system.
On 1999 S/T pickups and utilities, use a transmitter identified with GM/UTA
preceding the part number.
| • | A remote control allows the remote keyless entry (RKE) system
to lock and unlock the vehicle. |
| | RKE can lock and unlock the rear window on utility models. |
| • | The remote control door lock receiver is located on the left-side
instrument panel sound insulator. |

items: |
| - | The remote control door lock transmitters are hand-held. |

ring. |
| • | The remote control transmitter for pickups models has 3 buttons. |
| | These 3 buttons control the operation of the system. |

must be within approximately 10 meters (33 ft) of the vehicle. |
| • | The RKE system has no affect on the normal operation of the power
door locks. |
