1994 PONTIAC GRAND-AM battery replacement

Should interference to this system occur,
try this:
0 Check to determine if battery
replacement is necessary. See the
instructions on battery replacement.
Check the distance. You may be too
far from your vehicle. This product
has a maximum range.
0 Check the location. Other vehicles or
objects may be blocking the signal.
See your Pontiac dealer or a qualified
technician for service.
Changes or modifications to this system
by other
than an authorized service
facility could void authorization to use
this equipment.
Operation
The driver’s door will unlock
automatically
when UNLOCK is pressed.
If UNLOCK
is pressed twice quickly, all
doors
will unlock. All the doors will lock
when DOOR is pressed. The trunk will
unlock anytime the opened trunk symbol is pressed
if the ignition is off. If the
ignition is
ON, the trunk will unlock if
the transaxle is in NETURAL (N) or
PARK (P).
Press DOOR or UNLOCK to illuminate
the interior lights. The lights will then go
off after
40 seconds or when the ignition
is turned on (See “Illuminated Entry/Exit
System”
in the Index).
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.
See your dealer to match transmitters to
another vehicle.
3attery Replacement
Jnder normal use, the batteries in your
ey chain transmitter should last about
NO years.
‘ou can tell the batteries are weak i.f the
-ansmitter won’t work at
the normal
mge
in any location. If you have to get
lose to your vehicle before the
-ansmitter works, it’s probably
time to
hange the batteries.

Tailgate Caution
. . 52
Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in
some cities. Although your Pontiac has a
number of theft deterrent features, we
know that nothing we put on
it can make
it impossible to steal. However, there are
ways you can help.
Key in the Ignition
If you walk away from your vehicle with
the keys inside, it’s an easy target for joy
riders or professional thieves
-- so don’t
do
it.
When you park your Pontiac and open the
driver’s door, you’ll hear a chime
reminding you to remove your key from
the ignition and take
it with you. Always
do this. Your steering wheel will be
locked, and
so will your ignition. If you
have an automatic transaxle, taking your
key out also locks your transaxle. And
remember to lock the doors.
Parking at Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows
and lock your vehicle. Remember to keep
your valuables out of sight. Put them
in a
storage area, or take them with you.
