Operation
The driver’s door will unlock automatically when “UNLOCK’
is
pressed. If “UNLOCK” is pressed again
within five seconds, the passenger door
will also unl‘ock. All doors will lock when
“DOQR’ is pressed. The hatch will
unlock when the opened trunk symbol is
pressed, but only when the ignition switch is
not in “Run”, and the transmission is
in
“P” (Park) if you have an automatic
transmission. If you have a manual
transmission, the parking brake must
be set.
The system will turn on the interior lights
for about
40 seconds, or until the ignition
switch is turned to “Run”, when you
unlock the doors or hatch. The interior
lights
will come on for about two seconds
when you lock the doors.
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 dealer.
Remember to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you go to
your dealer. When the dealer matches the
replacement transmitter to your vehicle,
the remaining transmitter 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 same
model system. (General Motors offers
several different models of these systems
on their vehicles.) Each vehicle can have
onlv two transmitters matched to
it.
