Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each key chain transmitter is coded to prevent another
transmitter
from unlocking your vehicle. If a transmitter
is lost or stolen, a replacement can be purchased through
your retailer. Remember
to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you
go to your retailer.
When the retailer matches the replacement transmitter to
your vehicle, the remaining transmitters must also be
matched. Once the new transmitter is coded, the lost
transmitter
will not unlock your vehicle.
You can match a transmitter to as many different vehicles
as you own, provided they are equipped with exactly the
SCII'IW model sy.mn. (General Motors offers several
different models
of these systems on their vehicles.) Each
vehicle can have only two transmitters matched to it.
See your retailer
to match transmitters to another vehicle.

Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the batteries in your key chain
transmitter should last about two years.
You can
tell the batteries are weak if the transmitter
won’t work at the normal range
in any location. If you
have to get close to your vehicle before the transmitter
works, it’s probably time to change the batteries.
To Replace Batteries in the Remote Lock Control
1. Remove the screw from the back cover.
2. Lift the front cover off, bottom half first.
3. Remove and replace the two batteries
(Duracell@ type
DL-2016).

lamps will
go off after about 25 seconds, or when you
start your engine.

Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.

of theft deterrent
features, we
know that nothing we put on it can make it
impossible to steal. However, there are ways you can
help.
Key in the Ignition
If you walk away from your vehicle with the keys
inside, it’s an easy target for joy riders or professional
thieves
-- so don’t do it.
When you park your Aurora and open the driver’s door,
you’ll hear a chime reminding
you to remove your key
from the ignition and take it with you. Always do this.
Your steering wheel will be locked, and
so will your
ignition and transaxle. And remember to lock the doors.
Parking Lots
If you park in a lot where someone will be watching
your vehicle, it’s best to lock
it up and take your keys.
But what if you have to leave your ignition key? What if
you have to leave something valuable
in your vehicle?
0 Put your valuables in a storage areai, like your trunk
or glove box.
0 Move the trunk security override switch to OFF.
0 Lock the glove box.

PASS-Key@II
Your vehicle is equipped with the PASS-Key@II
(Personalized Automotive Security System) theft
deterrent system. PASS-Key@II is a passive theft
deterrent system. This means
you don’t have to do
anything different to arm or disarm the system.
It works
when you insert
or remove the key from the ignition.
PASS-Key@II uses
a resistor pellet in the ignition key
that matches a decoder
in your vehicle. When
the PASS-Key% system senses that someone is
using the wrong
key, it shuts down the vehicle’s starter
and fuel systems. For about three minutes, the starter
won’t work and fuel won’t
go to the engine. If someone
tries to start your vehicle again or uses another key
during this time, the vehicle
will not start. This
discourages someone from randomly trying different
keys
with different resistor pellets in an attempt to make
a match.
The ignition key must be clean and dry before it’s inserted\

in the ignition or the engine may not start. If the engine
does not stat and the SECURITY light is on or
you get
the CLEAN KEY. ..WAIT
3 MINUTES message, the key
may be dirty or wet. Turn the ignition off.
Clean and dry the key. Wdit about three minutes and try
again. The security light may remain on during this
time.
If the starter still won’t work, and the key appears
to be clean and dry, wait about three minutes
and try
another ignition key. At this time. you may also want to
check the fuses (see ”Fuses and Circuit Breakers”
in the
Index).
If the starter won’t work with the other key, your
vehicle needs service.
If your vehicle does start, the first
ignition key may be faulty. See your Aurora retailer or a
locksmith
who can service the PASS-Key@II.
2-13
ProCarManuals.com

If you accidentally use a key that has a damaged or
missing resistor pellet, the starter won’t work and the
SECURITY light
will flash and the CLEAN KEY. ..
WAIT 3 MINUTES message will appear. But you
don’t have to wait three minutes before trying another
ignition key.
See your Aurora retailer or a locksmith who can service
the PASS-Key@II to have a new key made.
If you’re ever driving and the SECURITY light comes
on or PASS-KEY SYSTEM FAULT appears, you will
be able to restart your engine if you turn it off. Your
PASS-Key@II system, however,
is not working properly
and must be serviced by your Aurora retailer. Your
vehicle
is not protected by the PASS-Key@II system.
If you lose or damage a PASS-Key@II ignition key, see
yo~~r Aurora retailer or a locksmith who can service
PASS-Key@II to have a new key made.
New Vehicle 44Break-In”
NOTICE:
Your modern Aurora doesn’t need an elaborate
“break-in.” But it
will perform better in the long
run if you follow these guidelines:
0 Don’t drive at any one speed -- fast or
slow
-- for the first 500 miles (804 km).
Don’t make full-throttle starts.
200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time
your new brake linings aren’t yet broken
in. Hard stops with new linings can mean
premature wear and earlier replacement.
Follow this “breaking-in?’ guideline every
time you get new brake linings.
0 Don’t tow a trailer during “break-in.” See
“Towing
a Trailer” in the Index for more
information.
Avoid making hard stops for the first
