To remove the key, press the button on the bottom of the transmitter and pull out the key. Never pull out the key without pressing the button.

If the key becomes difficult to turn, 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 services plan, an OnStar Advisor can remotely unlock the vehicle. See OnStar Overview.

If the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter operating range is reduced:

  • Check the distance. The transmitter may be too far from the vehicle.
  • Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may be blocking the signal.
  • Check the transmitter battery. See Battery Replacement later in this section.
  • If the transmitter still does not work properly, see your dealer or a qualified service technician.
