Matching Tral ~ itter(s) To Your V ~ le
Each remote lock COI 11 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, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your retailer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have only four transmitters
matched to it.
You can match your transmitter to as many
1997
General Motors vehicles as you own, as long as they
have the same Remote Lock Control system. Contact
your retailer- for assistance with this.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote lock
control transmitter should last about two years.
You can tell the battery is 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 battery.
