Programming Instructions:

Note: This is the same for many GM vehicles.

Sit in the driver’s seat. Insert the key into the ignition but don’t turn it. Push and hold the “Lock” button on the door. Continue to hold it. Turn the key to on, off, and then back to on, rapidly. Release the “Lock” button. The doors will sound. The remote is ready to be programmed. Push and hold “Unlock” and “Lock” on the remote for 20 seconds. The remote is programmed to the vehicle.

    As the new prime minister of Canada. I have to agree with John’s comment above. Fix these instructions or I will ban all Chevy cobalts from Canada. They are garbage vehicles.

      Why on earth would you even think a keyless remote would work if you don’t have power locks, you’re a special kind of stupid
