If if auto lock is enabled, it will lock if more than one fob is in the car and one leaves, even though there is a fob in the car.

It won't lock if there is only one fob and it's left in the car.

I have no idea what that statement means, it is self-contradictory. Did you try and couldn't get in the car or are you asking if that is what will happen?

Only key fobs registered as Fob 1 and Fob 2 can initiate remote start. It sounds like the fob you are using isn't one of the original two Fobs or maybe Fob 1 or 2 may be lost in the car. When you walk away quickly from the car there shouldn't be three beeps of the horn. If you do get three beeps of the horn either you didn't get away fast enough or there are some fobs in the car after you get out of the car.

Take the fob that Carvana gave you and place it 40 ft or more from the car then try and open the door and see if the car starts.

There are two ways to program a fob. The short method lets a third or later fob operate the car but not all functions. The long method sets the fob in your hand as either Fob 1 or Fob 2. You can find both ways to program fobs described in your OM.

As for searching for lost fobs look near the inside seat mounting locations. Lost articles like to snuggle up near the two inside floor mounting studs and hide behind the trim piece covering the forward stud.

The FOB I have says its #2 I can't get in the car or start it with my FOB 40 feet away. I looked pretty good this morning and didn't find anything.When I use the MY Chevy App it does the same thing (lights just flash and I hear a clicking). I all so have a 2021 Chevy PU that starts fine with the App or the FOB

When you say it's fob #2, where are you getting that from?

The numbers printed on the fob mean nothing.

The number is assigned only by the order in which they were programmed.
