If you have an owner's manual, look in there for the procedure. If you don't have one, you can download an electronic version from this web site under the downloads tab: www.gmpartshouse.com.

Also leaving the ebrake on 1 click or more should keep them off until you are ready.

Not really, pull relay #44 in the footwell fuse box in a Canadian C5 and that will disable your twilight sentinel.
