This key can be used for the ignition as well as all door locks, the liftgate lock and the storage compartments. Any new PASS-Key III key must be programmed before it will start your vehicle. See "PASS-KeyR III" in the Index for more information on programming your new key. NOTICE: Your vehicle has a number of new features that can help prevent theft. But you can have a lot of trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever lock your key inside. You may even have to damage your vehicle to get in. So be sure you have an extra key. If you ever do get locked out of your vehicle, call Oldsmobile Roadside Assistance. See "Roadside Assistance" in the Index for more information. If your vehicle is equipped with the OnStar system with an active subscription and you lock your keys inside the vehicle, OnStar may be able to send a command to unlock your vehicle. See "OnStarR" in the Index for more information. Your vehicle has the PASS-KeyR III vehicle theft system. The key has a transponder in the key head that matches a decoder in the vehicle's steering column. If a replacement key or any additional key is needed, you must purchase this key from your dealer. The key will have PK3 stamped on it. Keep the bar code tag that came with the original keys. Give this tag to your dealer if you need a new key made. If you need a new key, contact your dealer, who can obtain the correct key code. 2-6
