1995 OLDSMOBILE SILHOUETTE lock

For the lock delay feature to work, the ignition and
the interior lamps control (located to the left of the
instrument panel cluster) must
be off. If you wish to
lock the doors with the interior lamps on, press the
lock symbol or the rear of either power door lock
switch twice.
If any door
is open when you press the lock symbol or
the rear
of either power door lock switch, a chime will
sound three times. This indicates that all doors and the
liftgate will lock about five seconds after the last door
has been closed.
To override the lock delay feature, press the lock symbol
or the rear of either power door lock switch again, and
the doors and liftgate will lock immediately. If the
sliding door
is open, it will lock automatically within
five seconds after
it is closed, and the doors and liftgate
will lock again.
To cancel the lock delay feature, press the unlock
symbol
or the front of either power door lock switch.
Remote Operation of the Power Sliding Door
If you have the optional power sliding door (see “Power
Sliding Door” later in this section), your remote
transmitter will have a third button that has
a van
symbol on it. Press it to open or close the sliding door.
If the sliding door is locked, first press
the unlock
symbol twice to unlock all doors, then press the van
symbol to open the sliding door.
You can operate the power sliding door with the remote
transmitter only when the power sliding door enable
switch on the overhead console is in the
ON position.

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 same model system. (General Motors offers
several different models
of these systems on their
vehicles.) Each vehicle can have only four transmitters
matched to it.
See your retailer to match transmitters to another
vehicle.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your key chain
transmitter should last about two years.
You can tell the battery is 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 battery.

Illuminated Entry System (Option)

driver’s door has not been opened, the interior lamps
will immediately dim to

When you press the unlock symbol on your remote

To open or close the sliding door, press and release one
of two PWR DOOR switches. There is one mounted
on
the wall, just in front of the sliding door; the other is the
rear-most switch on
the side of the overhead console.
(If you have the compact overhead console, this switch
is located between the reading lamps.) The sliding door must be unlocked
for the power sliding
door to operate. The ignition does not have to be on and
the key does
not have to be in the ignition. To prevent
accidental operation
of the sliding door, disable the
power sliding door by placing
the power sliding door
enable switch in the
OFF position.
When the key is
in the ignition in the RUN position, the
power sliding door will only open if the transaxle is in
PARK
(P). The transaxle does not have to be in PARK
(P) to close the door. If the enable switch is ON and the
power sliding door
is open or in the process of closing
when you shift out of PARK
(P), a tone will sound and
the power sliding door warning light on your instrument
panel will flash (see “Power Sliding Door Warning
Light” in the Index). This is a warning light that the
sliding door is not completely closed.
