To replace the battery in the keyless entry transmitter:
1. Insert a dime in the slot between the covers of the
transmitter housing near the key ring hole. Remove
the bottom by twisting the dime.
2. Remove and replace the battery with a three volt
CR2032 or equivalent battery, positive (+) side up.
3. Align the covers and snap them together
4. Resynchronize the transmitter.
5. Check the operation of the transmitter.
Resynchronization
Resynchronization may be necessary due to the security
method used by this system. The transmitter does not
send the same signal twice to the receiver. The receiver
will not respond to a signal it has been sent previously.
This prevents anyone from recording and playing back
the signal from the transmitter.
To resynchronize your transmitter, stand close to your
vehicle and simultaneously press and hold the
LOCK
and UNLOCK buttons on the transmitter for not more
than five seconds. The door locks should cycle to
confirm synchronization. If the locks do not cycle, see
your retailer for service.

Driver Information System
This system displays the outside air temperature,
compass direction and trip information in the
overhead console.
USMET The US/MET (United Statedmetric) button
allows you to switch the display between the English
and metric system.
MODE: The MODE button can be used to toggle
between three modes
of operation: OFF, COMP/TEMP
and TRIP.
OFF: This turns the system off.
COMP/TEMP: The display provides the outside
temperature and one of eight compass readings to
indicate the direction the vehicle is facing.
Before you turn on the ignition and move the vehicle,
the temperature indicated will be the last outside temperature recorded
with the ignition on. If the outside
temperature is
37 OF (3 O C) or lower, the display will
toggle between the word ICE and
the current
temperature every eight seconds. This is a warning to
the driver that road conditions may be icy, and that
appropriate precautions should be taken.
The compass is self-calibrating,
so it does not need to be
manually set. However, if C (Calibration) is displayed,
the compass will need to be calibrated.
You may also
place the compass in a noncalibrated mode by pressing
and holding the MODE and USMET buttons
simultaneously while in the COMPREMP mode. After
about
10 seconds, the compass will display C and you
can release
the buttons. Drive the vehicle in a complete
360" circle three times at a speed of less than 5 mph
(8 km/h), and the compass will function normally. Once
the calibration is complete, the display will return to a
compass reading.

buttons in the COMP/TEMP mode.
After five seconds, the compass
will acknowledge
the variation mode
by displaying the current zone
number. When
it does, release both buttons.
Press

the display.
Press
MODE to enter yo~~r zone number. Your
variance
is now set and the display will return to the

distance that can be travelled
with the remaining fuel
in the tank, based on the fuel economy for the last
few hours
of driving.
FUEL USED: The fuel used since the last reset
is displayed.
AVG SPEED: The average speed since the last reset
is displayed.
To reset the trip computer, press the MODE and US/MET
buttons simultaneously for at least two seconds.

Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to
program
up to three channels:
1. If you have not previously programmed a universal
channel, proceed to Step
2. Otherwise, hold down
the two outside buttons on the universal transmitter
~~ntil the red light begins to flash rapidly
(approximately 20 seconds). Then release the
buttons. This procedure initializes the memory and
erases any previous settings for all three channels.
2. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter against the
bottom surface of the universal transmitter
so that
YOLI can still see the red light.
3. Decide which one of the three channels you want to
program. Using both hands, press the hand-held
transmitter button and the desired button on the
universal transmitter. Contin~le
to hold both buttons
through Step
4.
4. Hold down both buttons until you see the red light
on the ~~niversal transmitter flash rapidly. The rapid
flashing, which could take
LIP to 90 seconds,
indicates that the universal transmitter
has been
programmed. Release both buttons once the light
starts to flash rapidly.

If you have trouble programming the universal
transmitter, make sure that you have followed the
directions exactly as described and that the battery
in the
hand-held transmitter is not dead. If you still cannot
program
it, rotate the hand-held transmitter end over end
and try again. The universal transmitter may not work
with older garage door openers that do not meet current
Federal Consumer Safety Standards.
If you cannot
program the transmitter after repeated attempts, consult
your Oldsmobile retailer.
Be sure to keep the original hand-held transmitter
in case you need to erase and reprogram the
universal transmitter.
Operating the Transmitter
Press and hold the appropriate button on the universal
transmitter. The red light comes on while the signal is
being transmitted.
Note that the effective transmission range
of the
universal transmitter may differ from the hand-held
transmitter and from one channel to another.
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.
Training a Garage Opener with a
“Rolling Code” Feature
If you programmed the universal transm-itter, 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.
