Sun Visors To block glare, pull the sun visor down. It can also be detached from the center mount and moved to the side to block glare from that direction. To activate the content theft-deterrent system: 1. Close all the doors. 2. Lock the doors with the RKE transmitter. The security light, located on the instrument panel cluster, will flash. If the lock button on the RKE transmitter is pressed, but a door is open, the horn will chirp six times. Press the lock button again, within three seconds, and the doors will lock. Close the open door and the system will be activated. If a locked door is not opened using the RKE transmitter, or by OnStar®, the pre-alarm will go off. If the engine is not started or unlock not pressed within 10 seconds, the front turn signal lamps will flash for two minutes, and the horn will sound for two minutes, then will turn off to save the battery power. Remember, the theft-deterrent system will not activate if you lock the doors with a key, the manual door lock, or power door lock switch. The system can only be activated using the RKE transmitter, or by OnStar®. See OnStar® System on page 2-47 for additional information. You should also remember that you can start your vehicle with the correct ignition key if the alarm has been set off. Visor Vanity Mirror The passenger's side sun visor may have a mirror. Pull down the visor to access the mirror. Theft-Deterrent Systems Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
