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.

Remote Trunk Release
Press the TRUNK release
button located to the right of
the steering column to
release the trunk lid. The
trunk release override
switch must be
in the ON
position.
The trunk release button
will work in any transaxle
position. The system also works with the Remote Lock
Control.
Trunk Security Override
Inside the glove box is an
override switch that is
useful if you want to leave
valuables
in the trunk when
using a commercial parking
lot.
Move the switch to
OFF to disable the remote trunk
release button. Then lock your glove box
with the door
key.
If you have your door key with you, this will help
keep someone from getting into your trunk. Move the
switch to
ON to again make the remote trunk release
button usable.
The Remote Lock Control transmitter
will open the
trunk even if the override switch is in the OFF position.

Glove Box Parking at Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables out
of sight.
Put them
in a storage area, or take them with you.
Use the door
key to
lock and unlock the glove box. To
open, pull the latch release on the left side of the glove
box door.
Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your Aurora has a number
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.
0 Lock all the doors except the driver‘s.
0 Take the door key with you.
Take the Remote Lock Control key chain with you.

Fuels in Foreign Countries
If you plan on driving in another country outside the
U.S. or Canada, unleaded fuel may be hard to find. Do
not use leaded gasoline. If you use even one tankful,
your emission controls won't work well or at
all. With
continuous use, spark
plugs can get fouled, the exhaust
system can corrode, and your engine oil can deteriorate
quickly. Your vehicle's oxygen sensor
will be damaged.
All of that means costly repairs that wouldn't be covered
by your warranty.
To check on fuel availability, ask an auto club, or
contact
a major oil company that does business in the
country where you'll be driving.
You can also write us at the following address for
advice. Just tell
LIS where you're going and give your
Vehicle Identification Number
(VIN).

trunk release button,
to
the right of the
steering column. The
