BTW, Lock+Panic is the same as RS, which is why some other brands don't work.

AP3 does not mean RVS in all years. It actually means it has a RCDLR for 2007. Other years it means hood latch switch installed. If it was a rental in a former life, it is likely ordered without.
mine is a former rental and DOES have RS... I also have never seen any sort of option in the IPC to turn it off/on

If it is not in the DIC, it did not come from the factory with RVS.
2008 was an oddity where it is in the DIC even if the hood switch was deleted; making it easy to enable.

mine's an 09 old ABG car, it has it, I just never bothered to dig into the personalization menu, honestly didn't know it existed, I would suspect lots of people buying cars used without the manual have no idea they can get into it

ABG tends to buy models in bulk, which pretty much all the same options, so I suspect there's lots of ABG HHRs running around with RS... if I remember correctly, the few Hertz ones I've looked up for people were without

That is why it is so easy to get an Owner Manual. If the link in my sig doesn't work GoOgle does, and technically speaking the manual is "mandatory safety equipment" that is supposed to be delivered with a used car. If you buy a car from CarMax they give you a voucher to get a printed one if it is not in the car.

The photos I posted are from the online manual from the link in Donbrew’s signature.

My 2011 was a Hertz rental fleet , no RS , no hood closed switch.

I got one with mine, but I haven't looked that deeply in it... and I bought my car from a huge corp (Autonation) and they sold it to me with lots of issues that could be argued for safety

I'm not saying it's not easy or available, but that there are lots of people that a) don't know about it, and b) don't even know to ask

and
c) the salesman lied;
"doesn't have another key"
"doesn't have an Owner Manual"
"doesn't come with rear view mirrors"

My personal experience:
"those are Mag wheels" .......plastic wheel covers
"Doesn't come with a fob"......until you look in the cargo boxes
"never been in an accident".......until the CarFax gets updated in 3 months
the paint on the body bolts is missing because "they are all like that"
