Replacing lost transmitters
[CF80562(R)01/96]
In the event a transmitter is lost, you should take your vehicle's
transmitters to your dealer to have the remote entry system
deprogrammed for the lost transmitter. This is necessary to
prevent further unauthorized use of the lost transmitter.
*
[CF80564(R)01/96]
You can also purchase additional transmitters (up to 4
transmitters can be used) from your dealer. You will need to
take all your transmitters to the dealer so they can program
them to the remote entry system all at the same time.

Illuminated Entry System (If equipped)
*
[CF80574(R)01/96]
This system will provide illumination of the vehicle's interior
courtesy lamps when either outside front door handle is pulled
or when the remote entry system is used to unlock the door or
sound the personal alarm. The system will automatically turn
off after approximately 25 seconds or when the ignition is
turned to the RUN or ACC position.
[CF80578(R)04/96]
NOTE: The inside lights will not turn off if you have turned
them on with the dimmer thumbwheel or if any door
is open.

[CF80600(R)01/96]
Battery Saver
[CF80610(R)04/96]
When the ignition is turned off, the vehicle will turn off battery
voltage to all of these lights after 40 minutes: glove box, engine
compartment, overhead console, mirror, courtesy and
interior (including cargo) lamps.
*
[CF80630(R)01/96]
This will prevent draining of the battery if these lights have
been left on inadvertently or if a door is not completely closed.
Battery voltage to these lamps will be restored when the remote
entry transmitter is used, any door is opened, or the ignition
key is turned on again.

Arming the System
[CF81210(R)04/96]
The system is ready to arm any time the ignition switch is
turned OFF and the alarm is not triggered or sounding. Any of
the following events will prearm the anti-theft system:
[CF81212(R)05/96]
n
Pressing the remote entry transmitter LOCK control to lock
the doors (with the doors open or closed),
[CF81216(R)05/96]
n
Opening a door and pressing the power door lock control to
lock the doors.
[CF81250(R)01/96]
If a door is open, the anti-theft system is prearmed and waiting
for all doors to close. The THEFT indicator in the instrument
panel will light continuously while the system is prearmed.
[CF81264(R)01/96]
n
Close all doors
[CF81300(R)01/96]
Once all doors are closed, if any were open, the system will
begin a 30 second countdown to become armed. The 30 second
countdown allows people who may still be in the vehicle time
to exit without triggering the alarm. The THEFT indicator will
glow steadily until the system is armed. When the system is
armed, the THEFT indicator will begin to flash with short
flashes every 2 seconds until the system is triggered or
disarmed.
