You can match a transmitter to as many different vehicles as you own,
provided they are equipped with exactly the same model svstem. (General
Motors offers several different models of these systems on their vehicles.)
Each vehicle can have only
2 transmitters matched to it.
See your dealer to match transmitters to another vehicle.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the batteries in your key chain transmitter should last
about two years.
You can tell the batteries are 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 batteries.
For battery replacement use
two Duracell batteries, type DL-2 or a
similar type.
To replace the batteries:
1. If your transmitter
has a screw, remove
the screw from the
back cover. If there
is no screw,
carefully pry off the
cover by inserting a
dime (or similar
object)
in the slot
between the covers
and twist.
2. Lift off the front cover, bottom half first.
