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 retailer. Remember
to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you
go to your retailer.
When the retailer 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
SCII'IW model sy.mn. (General Motors offers several
different models
of these systems on their vehicles.) Each
vehicle can have only two transmitters matched to it.
See your retailer
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.
To Replace Batteries in the Remote Lock Control
1. Remove the screw from the back cover.
2. Lift the front cover off, bottom half first.
3. Remove and replace the two batteries
(Duracell@ type
DL-2016).
4. Reassemble the transmitter.
5. Check the transmitter operation.
Illuminated Entry System
When you press any button on your Remote Lock
Control, the lamps inside your vehicle will go on. These
lamps will
go off after about 25 seconds, or when you
start your engine.
If a door is left ajar, your interior lamps will turn off
after 10 minutes to save your battery.

Remote Trunk Release
Press the TRUNK release
button located to the right of
the steering column to
release the trunk lid. The
trunk release override
switch must be
in the ON
position.
The trunk release button
will work in any transaxle

Trunk Security Override

override switch that is
useful if you want to leave
valuables
in the trunk when
using a commercial parking
lot.

OFF to disable the remote trunk
release button. Then lock your glove box
with the door

in a storage area, or take them with you.

Theft
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some cities.
Although your Aurora 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 Aurora 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 and transaxle. And remember to lock the doors.
Parking Lots
If you park in a lot where someone will be watching
your vehicle, it’s best to lock
it up and take your keys.
But what if you have to leave your ignition key? What if
you have to leave something valuable
in your vehicle?

or glove box.
0 Move the trunk security override switch to OFF.
0 Lock the glove box.
0 Lock all the doors except the driver‘s.
