Remote keyless entry (RKE) is a standard feature and operates all other doors and the trunk lid. Six additional RKE transmitters may have been ordered with your vehicle. See your dealer for additional information regarding availability of more RKE units for the vehicle. The RKE transmitter for the police vehicle has the vehicle locator/panic alarm button disabled. The horn will not sound and the exterior lights will not flash when the button is pressed. Chevrolet Impala Police Package - 2012 2-2 Black plate (2,1) Keys, Doors, and Windows Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter Programming – SEO AMF Trunk Lid Keylock Cylinder 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. 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. 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. The vehicle has a keylock cylinder in the trunk lid.

Questions and Answers About Airbags and Specialty Law Enforcement Vehicles 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. 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.” Chevrolet Impala Police Package - 2012 3-2 Black plate (2,1) 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. Chevrolet Impala Police Package - 2012 Black plate (3,1) Seats and Restraints 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. 3-3 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. Chevrolet Impala Police Package - 2012 3-4 Black plate (4,1) Seats and Restraints 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 Chevrolet Impala Police Package - 2012 9-2 Black plate (2,1) 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. This light will flash when the TCS is limiting 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. Chevrolet Impala Police Package - 2012 Black plate (3,1) Driving and Operating 9-3 Electronic Stability Control (ESC) When the system is on, this warning light comes on and stays on if there is a problem. To disable both traction control and ESC, press and hold the ESC OFF button briefly. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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). Chevrolet Impala Police Package - 2012 9-4 Black plate (4,1) Driving and Operating 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.
