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 1998 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. |
| • | Each vehicle comes with a pair of remote control door lock transmitters. |
| | Features of the remote control door lock transmitter include the following
items: |
| - | The remote control door lock transmitters are hand-held. |
| - | The remote control door lock transmitters are attached to a key
ring. |
| • | The remote control transmitter for pickup models has 3 buttons. |
| | These 3 buttons control the operation of the system. |
| • | The remote control transmitter for utility models has 4 buttons. |
| | Whenever a button on the transmitter is pressed, the transmitter sends
a coded ultra-high frequency (UHF) radio signal to the receiver. |
| • | In order for the receiver to detect any coded signal, the transmitter
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. |
| • | The RKE system has no affect on the rear window power release. |
| • | Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded in order to prevent
another transmitter from unlocking the vehicle. |

may be purchased through the dealer. |
