Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy
Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant
women. Like all occupants, they are more likely to be
seriously injured
if they don‘t wear safety belts.
A pregnant woman should weal- a lap-shoulder belt, and
the lap portion should be worn as low as possible
throughout the pregnancy. The
best way to protect the fetus
is to protect the
mother. When a safety belt is worn properly, it’s more
likely that
the fetus won’t be hurt in a crash. For
pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making
safety belts effective is wearing them properly.
Right Front Passenger Position
The right front passenger’s safety belt works the same
way
as the driver’s safety belt. See “Driver Position,’’
earlier
in this section.
When the lap portion
of the belt is pulled out all the
way,
it will lock. If it does, let it go back all the way and
start again.
Rear Seat Passengers
It‘s very important for rear seat passengers to buckle up!
Accident statistics show that unbelted people
in the rear
seat are
hurt more often in crashes than those who are
wearing safety belts.
Rear passengers who aren’t safety belted can be thrown
out
of the vehicle in a crash. And they can strike others
in the vehicle who are wearing safety belts.

Keys
ProCarManuals.com

The ignition keys are for the
ignition
only.
The door keys are for the
doors and all other locks. When
a
new Aurora is delivered, the retailer removes
the plugs from the keys and gives them to the first
owner. However, the ignition key may not have a plug.
If the ignition key doesn’t have a plug, there will be a
bar-coded key tag instead.
Each plug or tag has a code
on it that tells your retailer
or a qualified locksmith how to make extra keys. Keep
the plugs or tags in
a safe place. If you lose your keys,
you’ll
be able to have new ones made easily using these
plugs or tags.
If your ignition keys don’t have plugs or
tags, go to your Aurora retailer for the correct key code
if you need a new ignition key.
There are
15 alternative PASS-Key@II blanks, to help
discourage theft. Your retailer can he1 determine which
key code
you need. (See “PASS-Key 11” in the Index.) 8
NOTICE:
Your Aurora has a number of new features that
can help prevent theft. But you can have a lot
of trouble getting into your vehicle if you ever
lock your keys inside. You may even have to
damage your vehicle
to get in. So be sure you
have extra keys.

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.

after 10 minutes to save your battery.

switch must be
in the ON
position.
The trunk release button
will work in any transaxle

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

your vehicle, it’s best to lock
it up and take your keys.

you have to leave something valuable
