Do not set a code that presents the numbers in
sequential order, such as 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 9/0.
Studies show that people who idly press the
buttons usually press a sequential pattern. Also,
do not select a code that uses the same button
five times. Thieves can easily figure out these
types of codes.
[CF64300( GV)12/95]
Your door lock system will lock and unlock the
vehicle doors to confirm successful erasure. The

Battery Saver
*
[CF64500( GV)12/95]
When the ignition is turned off, the vehicle will
turn off battery voltage to the vehicle lamps as
follows:
*
[CF64600( GV)12/95]
q
Courtesy lights (lights which come on when a
door is opened): after 10 minutes.
[CF64700( GV)12/95]
q
Map/Glove compartment/Trunk/Hood
lamps: after 30 minutes.
[CF64800( GV)12/95]
q
Headlamps/Park lamps (only if headlamp
switch is left in Headlamp position): after 10
minutes.
*
[CF64900( GV)05/96]
This will prevent draining of the battery if those
lights have been left on inadvertently or if a
door is not completely closed. Battery voltage to
these lamps will be restored when the keyless
entry keypad is used, the remote entry
transmitter is used, any door is opened, the
trunk is opened, or the ignition key is turned to
the ON position.
