Chevrolet Trax: Keys
Warning
Leaving children in a vehicle with the ignition key is dangerous and children or others could be seriously injured or killed. They could operate the power windows or other controls or make the vehicle move. The windows will function with the keys in the ignition, and children or others could be caught in the path of a closing window. Do not leave children in a vehicle with the ignition key.
The key that is part of the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter can be used for the ignition and all locks.
Press the key release button on the RKE transmitter to extend the key blade. Press the button and the key blade to retract the key.
The key code is stamped on the key number plate and can be used to make new keys at any dealer. Store this information in a safe place outside the vehicle.
If it becomes difficult to turn the key in the ignition, inspect the key blade for debris. Periodically clean with a brush or pick.
See your dealer if a new key is needed.
