Larger Children
Children who have outgrown child restraints should

window
so the child can wear a lap-shoulder belt and
get the additional restraint a shoulder belt can provide.

If a door or the trunk is opened without the key or
Remote Lock Control System, the alarm
will go off. It
will also go
off if the trunk lock or door locks are
damaged. Your vehicle’s lamps will flash and the horn
will sound for several minutes, then will go off to save
battery power.
Remember,
the theft-deterrent system won’t be activated
if
you lock the doors with a key or manual door lock. It
only activates
if you use a power door lock switch or
Remote Lock Control System. You should also
remember that you can start your vehicle with the
correct ignition key if the alarm has been set off, but this
does not shut off the alarm.
Here’s how to avoid setting off the alarm by accident:
If you don’t want to activate the theft-deterrent
system, lock the door either using a key, or
the
manual door lock switch.
Always unlock a door with a key, or use the Remote
Lock Control System. Unlocking a door any other
way will set off the alarm.
If you set off the alarm by accident, unlock any door
with your key.
You can also turn off the alarm by using the Remote
Lock Control System. The alarm won’t stop if
you try to
unlock
a door any other way.
Testing the Alarm
The alarm can be tested by fist having the driver’s
window down. Activate
the system by locking the doors
with the power door lock switch or the Remote Lock
Control System. Get out of the car and close the door and
wait for the
SECURITY light to go out. Then reach in
through the window, unlock the door with the manual door
lock, and open the door. This should set
off the alarm.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, check
to see
if the horn works. The
horn fuse may be blown. To
replace the fuse, see “Fuses and Circuit Breakers” in
the Index.
To reduce the possibility of theft, always activate the
theft-deterrent system when leaving your vehicle.

PASS-K~~~ 11
Your vehicle is equipped
with the PASS-Key I1
(Personalized Automotive
Security System)
theft-deterrent system.
PASS-Key
I1 is a passive
theft-deterrent system. It
works when you insert or
remove the key from
the ignition.
PASS-Key I1 uses a resistor pellet in the ignition key
that matches a decoder in your vehicle.
When the PASS-Key
I1 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 start and the SECURITY light is on
or
you get the CLEAN KEY. ..WAIT 3 MINUTES message
on the DIC, the key may be dirty or wet. Turn the
ignition
off.
Clean and dry the key. Wait 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
11.
If you accidentally use a key that has a damaged or
missing resistor pellet, the starter won’t work. 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
I1 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
I1 system, however, is not working properly
and must
be serviced by your Aurora retailer. Your
vehicle is not protected by the PASS-Key I1 system.
If
you lose or damage a PASS-Key I1 ignition key, see
your Aurora retailer or
a locksmith who can service
PASS-Key
I1 to have a new key made.
New Vehicle CCBreak-InSS
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:
Don’t drive at any one speed -- fast or
slow -- for the first 500 miles (805 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.
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

Training a Garage Door Opener Equipped
with “Rolling Codes”
If you programmed the universal transmitter, but the
garage door will not open, and
if your garage door
opener was manufactured after
1995, your garage door
may have a security feature that changes the “code”
of your garage door opener every time it is opened
or closed.
To determine if your garage door opener has this rolling
code feature, press the appropriate button on the
universal transmitter that was programmed. If the red
light flashes rapidly for one to two seconds, then turns
solid, your garage door opener has this feature.
To program a garage door opener with the rolling code
feature, do the following:
1.
2.
3. Program your hand-held
transmitter to the universal
transmitter by following the steps provided under
“Programming the Transmitter” earlier.
Remove the cover panel from
the garage door
opener receiver. It is located near the garage door
opener motor.
Locate the training button on the garage door opener
receiver. The exact location and color will vary
among brands.
4.
5.
6.
Press the training button on the garage door opener
receiver for one to two seconds.
Return to your vehicle and press the programmed
button on the universal transmitter until the red light
flashes rapidly (about two seconds).
Release the button, then press it again
to confirm it
was programmed to the garage door opener receiver.
You may now use either the universal transmitter or the
hand-held transmitter to open your garage door. If
you
still have difficulty in programming and require
assistance, please call your Aurora retailer.
Erasing Channels
To erase all three programmed channels, hold down the
two outside buttons until the red light begins to flash.
Individual channels cannot be erased, but can be
reprogrammed using the procedure for programming the
transmitter explained earlier.

Accessories for your universal transmitter are available
from
the manufacturer of the unit. If you would like
additional information please call 1-800-355-35 15.
