front door or open a rear door, the lights
inside your vehicle will go on. These
lights will go
off after about 40 seconds

two minutes, the lights inside your vehicle
will stay on for 15 seconds when your key

provide an illuminated exit. When interior
lights go off they will fade
out like in a
movie theatre.

3. Do the same thing to the other rear
door lock.

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.

off to reduce
battery drain. When
