Operation
The driver's door will unlock when UNLOCK is
pressed.
If pressed again within 25 seconds, all doors
will unlock, Pressing any button will
also illuminate the
interior lamps. (See "Illuminated Entry'' in the Index.)
All doors will lock when LOCK is pressed.
The trunk
will unlock when the opened trunk symbol is
messed, but only when the ignition is
OFF.
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).
4. Reassemble the transmitter.
5. Check the transmitter operation.
Illuminated Entry System
When you press any button on your Remote Lock
Control, the lamps inside your vehicle will go on. These
lamps will
go off after about 25 seconds, or when you
start your engine.
If a door is left ajar, your interior lamps will turn off
after 10 minutes to save your battery.

Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on a modern vehicle is complex. Its
many parts have to be of top quality and work well
together
if the vehicle is to have really good braking.
Vehicles we design and test have top-quality
GM brake
parts
in them, as your Aurora does when it is new. When
you replace parts
of your braking system -- for example,
when your brake linings wear down and you have to
have new ones put
in -- be sure you get new genuine
GM replacement parts. If you don’t, your brakes may no
longer work properly. For example, if someone puts
in
brake linings that are wrong for your vehicle, the
balance between your front and rear brakes can change
-- for the worse. The braking performance you’ve come
to expect can change in many other ways if someone
puts
in the wrong replacement brake parts.
Battery
Every new Aurora has a Delco Freedom@ battery. You
never have to add water to one of these. When it’s time
for
a new battery, we recommend a Delco Freedom@
battery. Get one that has the replacement number shown
on the original battery’s label. The battery
is located under
the rear seat cushion. To
access the battery, see “Removing the Rear Seat
Cushion”
in the Index. You don’t need to access the
battery to jump start your vehicle. See “Jump Starting”
in the Index.
