Due to the uniqueness of the ignition/door lock key, special equipment is requiredto cut a key. If you do not have the required equipment, you may order a cut/codedkey through GM CC&A.

To obtain a replacement key, the following procedure is suggested:

Obtain the vehicle key code.

U.S. Dealers: Access the “Key Code Look Up” application through GM GlobalConnect under the PartsWorkbench.

Canadian Dealers: Access the “KeyCode Look-Up” feature within the OEConnection D2DLink application.

For additional information on obtaining GM key codes:

– (U.S. dealers) - refer to the latest version of GM Corporate Bulletin Number 10-00-89-009.

– (Canada dealers) - refer to the latest version of GM Corporate Bulletin Number 10-00-89-010.

Submit a part order through the GM CC&A Parts System for a key blank. Be sure to includethe key code in the “note” field, and the keycode in the "comments" field of the order.The "Comments" field may ONLY contain the keycode, (NO extra words). Additional verbiagewill result in the order canceling.

Notice:In the GM CC&A parts system, the “comments” field may only contain the requestedkeycode. Additional characters in this field WILL CAUSE THE ORDER TO SELF CANCEL.

DO NOT ORDER AN UNCODED KEY AS YOU WILL RECEIVE A BLANK KEY THAT WILL REQUIRE CODINGON THE SPECIAL EQUIPMENT LISTED BELOW.
