Remote Keyless Entry

Transmitter Programming –

SEO AMF

Do not operate or program the transmitters in the vicinity of other vehicles that are in the keyless entry program mode. This prevents the programming of the transmitters to the incorrect vehicle.

Up to eight transmitters may be programmed to the RKE on police package equipped vehicles.

The first four transmitters are given the position of #1 - #4 in the RKE.

Any further transmitters will also be assigned to position #4.

Verify that the proper transmitters are learned to the vehicle. Do not learn a transmitter with a remote start button to a vehicle that does not have remote start.

For the proper procedure to be used

for learning transmitters, see Driver

Information Center (DIC) on

page 5‑4.

Trunk Lid Keylock Cylinder

The vehicle has a keylock cylinder in the trunk lid.

If the vehicle is equipped with the theft-deterrent system (Option UA6), an audible alarm will occur when the key is used to open the trunk instead of the remote keyless entry

(key fob). See your dealer to disable the audible alarm.

Questions and Answers

About Airbags and

Specialty Law

Enforcement Vehicles

Q: Can equipment such as radar devices, video cameras, and radio trees be mounted in a specialty vehicle equipped with a right front passenger frontal airbag?

A: Yes, but care must be taken to properly mount the equipment outside of the airbag “deployment zone.”

Seats and Restraints 3-1

Q: What is the airbag

“deployment zone”?

A: The term “deployment zone” describes the space an airbag takes up when fully inflated.

Airbags need room to work properly, and anything in the

“deployment zone” — such as improperly mounted equipment — can greatly affect the performance of the airbag.


3-2 Seats and Restraints

{

WARNING

Airbags inflate with great force, faster than the blink of an eye.

No objects, such as shotguns, should be placed over or near the airbag covers. Equipment mounted too close to an inflating airbag could break and become a dangerous projectile in a crash, causing injury to the vehicle's occupants. Also, an object too close to an inflating airbag could prevent the airbag from operating properly. If this ever happens, the airbag would not be able to protect occupants the way it was designed to. To help prevent injury and to allow the airbag to perform as it was designed, do not mount equipment inside the airbag deployment zone.

Q: How can I identify the airbag

“deployment zone” in my vehicle?

A: See Airbag Deployment

Diagrams on page 3‑5 for more

information. The diagrams provide the approximate dimensions of the “deployment zones” for your specialty vehicle.

Before doing any service work, including the installation of any equipment, consult the appropriate service manual.

Q: Is it possible to shield equipment so it does not interfere with airbag deployment?

A: While shielding may protect certain equipment from being damaged or dislodged, it may also negatively affect how an airbag inflates. Therefore, we cannot recommend the placement of any equipment in the deployment zone, even when shielding.

Q: Can the installation of push bumpers on the front end of the vehicle affect the deployment of the airbag?

A: General Motors is not aware of adverse effects during crash events from the many push bumpers that have been installed on GM police vehicles.

Because there are many styles of push bumpers available with varying crash characteristics, installation of push bumpers may or may not affect deployment timing of the airbags. Push bumpers should be mounted to avoid modifying the vehicle structure and interfering with the front airbag sensors mounted on the upper radiator support cross member.


Two front impact sensors are installed in GM vehicles. Do not relocate of disconnect the front sensors. The location and orientation of the front sensors are critical for correct operation of the airbag system. Avoid mounting components on or near the sensors. Push bumper styles with vertical pushing members that are in fore-aft alignment with the front airbag sensors are not recommended.


Q: Is there anything I might add to the front or sides of the vehicle that could keep the airbags from working properly?

A: Yes. If you add things that change your vehicle's frame, bumper system, height, front end or side sheet metal, they may keep the airbag system from working properly. Also, the airbag system may not work properly if you relocate any of the airbag sensors. If you have any questions about this, you should contact Customer

Assistance before you modify your vehicle. The phone numbers and addresses for

Customer Assistance are in

Step Two of the Customer

Satisfaction Procedures in the owner manual. See “Customer

Satisfaction Procedure” in the owner manual Index.

The service manual has information about the location of the airbag sensors, sensing and diagnostic module, and airbag wiring.

See “Service Publications

Ordering Information” in the owner manual.



Notices for Customer

Installed Equipment

Read the following notices before installing equipment on the specialty vehicle.

Notice: GM-approved service procedures must be followed to remove and reinstall the instrument panel to the pad in order to ensure proper airbag deployment.

Notice: Equipment mounted to the instrument panel top pad must not exceed 8.0 lb (3.6 kg).

Notice: In order not to restrict upward movement of the driver's side instrument panel top pad when the airbag deploys, equipment should be securely mounted only to the top pad.

Notice: Do not place equipment on the passenger's side of the instrument panel top pad because the edge of it rises when the airbag deploys.

Notice: Do not mount equipment on the passenger side of the instrument panel top pad deployment zone. Equipment should not be mounted on or around the passenger airbag opening because of a deploying airbag. To allow the airbag to perform as it was designed, do not mount equipment inside the airbag deployment zone.

Notice: Passenger airbag contacts inside rearview mirror at the beginning of deployment.

Video cameras and other small equipment should be securely mounted outside the airbag zone.

Notice: The police vehicle has roof-rail airbags. Do not mount a security barrier such that the ends of the barrier or brackets are within the roof-rail deployment zones.

Notice: Avoid installing wiring for roof-rail emergency lighting or radio antennas that may restrict the proper deployment of the roof-rail airbags.

Notice: The police vehicle has seat‐mounted side impact airbags for the driver and passenger front seat positions.

Restricting the cover from opening prevents proper deployment of the seat‐mounted side impact airbag. Do not cover or restrict the seat‐mounted side impact airbag cover located on the outboard side of the seatback.

Factory Audio System


9-2 Driving and Operating

When the automatic transmission is in P (Park), the driver's foot is off the brake, and the emergency equipment is turned on, the engine rpm may increase to 1,200 rpm to keep the electrical power of the vehicle at a steady rate. Even with the extra power boost, the vehicle may stall after long periods of time with a heavy electrical load.

See “Running the Vehicle While

Parked” in the Driving and

Operating section of the owner manual for more information.

Ride Control Systems

Traction Control

System (TCS)

The vehicle may have a Traction

Control System (TCS) that limits wheel spin. This is especially useful in slippery road conditions. The system operates only if it senses that one or both of the front wheels are spinning or beginning to lose traction. When this happens, the system reduces engine power and may also upshift the transmission and apply the front brakes to limit wheel spin.

The system may be heard or felt while it is working, but this is normal.

The TCS is automatically enabled whenever the vehicle is started. The system can be turned off, but it will no longer assist in controlling the vehicle.

If cruise control is being used when

TCS begins to limit wheel spin, the cruise control will automatically disengage. Cruise control may be reengaged when road conditions allow. See “Cruise Control” in the owner manual.

The TCS operates in all transmission shift lever positions.

But the system can upshift the transmission only as high as the shift lever position chosen, so use the lower gears only when necessary. See “Automatic

Transmission” in the owner manual.

This light will flash when the TCS is limiting wheel spin.



When the system is on, this warning light comes on and stays on if there is a problem.

A SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL message also appears on the DIC.

When this warning light is on, the system will not limit wheel spin.

Adjust your driving accordingly.

See “Ride Control System

Messages” in the owner manual.

To limit wheel spin, especially in slippery road conditions, TCS should always be left on. But the system can be turned off if needed.

Turn the system off if the vehicle gets stuck in sand, mud, or snow and rocking the vehicle is required.

See “If the Vehicle Is Stuck” in the owner manual.

To disable both traction control and

ESC, press and hold the ESC OFF button briefly.

When the ESC OFF button is pressed, the ESC Off light comes on and PERFORMANCE MODE displays in the DIC. The TCS is still active, but limited to driveline protection only. ESC is also active, but is limited to high speed pursuit purposes.

Press the ESC OFF button again to turn the system back on.

The TRACTION CONTROL ON message will appear in the DIC.

Adding non‐dealer accessories can affect the vehicle performance.

See “Accessories and Modifications” in the owner manual.

Electronic Stability

Control (ESC)

Your vehicle may have an Electronic

Stability Control (ESC) system which combines antilock brake, traction, and stability control systems and helps the driver maintain directional control of the vehicle in most driving conditions.

When you first start your vehicle and begin to drive away, the system performs several diagnostic checks to ensure there are no problems.

You may hear or feel the system working. This is normal and does not mean there is a problem with your vehicle. The system should initialize before the vehicle reaches

32 km/h (20 mph).



If the system fails to turn on or activate due to a fault, the ESC/TCS light will be on solid, and the

SERVICE STABILITRAK message will be displayed. If the system fails to turn on or activate due to it not initializing, the DIC will display

STABILITRAK INITIALIZING.

For more information, see “Ride

Control Messages” in the owner manual.

This light will flash on the instrument panel cluster when the ESC system is both on and activated.

You may also feel or hear the system working; this is normal.

When the light is on solid and the

SERVICE STABILITRAK message is displayed, the system will not assist the driver in maintaining directional control of the vehicle.

Adjust your driving accordingly.

See “Ride Control Messages” in the owner manual.

The Electronic Stability

Control (ESC) system is automatically enabled whenever you start your vehicle. To assist the driver with vehicle directional control, especially in slippery road conditions, you should always leave the system on. But, you can turn

ESC off if you ever need to.

If the vehicle is in cruise control when the system begins to assist the driver maintain directional control of the vehicle, the ESC/TCS light will flash and the cruise control will automatically disengage. When road conditions allow you to use cruise again, you may re-engage the cruise control. See “Cruise

Control” in the owner manual.

The ESC OFF button is located on the instrument panel.

To disable both traction control and ESC, press and hold the button briefly.

When the ESC OFF button is pressed, the ESC Off light comes on and PERFORMANCE MODE displays in the DIC. The TCS is still active, but limited to driveline protection only. ESC is also active, but is limited to high speed pursuit purposes.


It is recommended to leave the system on for normal driving conditions, but it may be necessary to turn the system off if your vehicle is stuck in sand, mud, ice, or snow, and you want to “rock” your vehicle to attempt to free it. It may also be necessary to turn off the system when driving in extreme off-road conditions where high wheel spin is required. See “If the

Vehicle Is Stuck” in the owner manual.


ESC may also turn off automatically if it determines that a problem exists with the system. The SERVICE

STABILITRAK message and the

ESC/TCS light will be on solid to warn the driver that ESC is disabled and requires service. If the problem does not clear after restarting the vehicle, you should see your dealer for service. See “Ride Control

System Messages” in the owner manual.

Adding non‐dealer accessories can affect your vehicle performance.

See “Accessories and Modifications” in the owner manual.

The flasher control wire is coiled in the passenger side footwell under the instrument panel. This control lead may be combined with the interior wiring leads for SEO 6J3 when that option is ordered with SEO 6J7.


The headlamps flashing module is located at the inboard end of the passenger side headlamps assembly. The headlamps flashing module is activated by the application of 12 volts to a red/white wire coiled in the passenger side footwell. When activated, the driver and passenger side high-beam headlamps will flash alternately at

2.4 flashes per second.

During daylight conditions, the

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) are automatically turned off whenever the headlamps flasher module is activated.

During nighttime conditions, the low-beam headlamps turn on automatically while the high-beam headlamps flash. Turning on the high-beam headlamps manually with the turn signal/multifunction lever will override the flashing module and the high-beam headlamps will operate continuously.

A fuse labeled HDLP MDL protects the flasher module circuit. This fuse is located in the underhood fuse block in the engine compartment on the passenger side of the vehicle.

See “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in the Vehicle Care section of your

Impala owner manual for more information.


When the headlamps flashing module is turned on, the module sends a signal to the Body Control

Module (BCM). The BCM alternately flashes the stop lamps and backup lamps. Depressing the brake pedal will override the stop lamp flashing and placing the transaxle in reverse will override the backup lamp flashing.

When it is dark outside, the taillamps will turn on automatically.

The Center High-Mounted Stoplamp

(CHMSL) will not flash and will operate only when the regular brake pedal is pressed.
