trunk PONTIAC FIREBIRD 1995 Owners Manual

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 unlock.
All doors will lock when DOOR 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
PARK (P) 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 lamps for about
40 seconds, or until the ignition switch is turned to
RUN,
or if you unlock the doors or hatch. The interior
lamps 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 transmitters 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 only two transmitters
matched to
it.
