1997 Oldsmobile Achieva trunk release

Operation
The following functions are available with the Remote
Lock Control system:
LOCK: All doors will automatically lock when the
LOCK
button on the transmitter is pressed. The interior larnps
stay on for two seconds after all
of the doors are closed.
UNLOCK: The driver’s door will unlock automatically
when
the UNLOCK button on the transmitter is pressed.
If the UNLOCK button is pressed again within five
seconds, all remaining doors will unlock. The interior
lamps will stay on for
40 seconds or until the ignition is
turned on.
Trunk Release: The trunk will unlock anytime the
vehicle symbol on the transmitter is pressed and the
ignition is
OFF. If the ignition is on, the trunk will
unlock
if the parking brake is set (manual transaxle) or
the gear selector is in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N)
(automatic transaxle). The interior lamps will come on
for
40 seconds or until the ignition switch is turned to
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, any remaining transmitters must also be
matched. Once your retailer has coded the new
transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your
vehicle. Each vehicle can have only two transmitters
matched to it.
You can match your transmitter to as many 1997
General Motors vehicles as you own, as long as they
have the same Remote Lock Control system. Contact
your retailer
for assistance with this.

Remote Trunk Release
Pull up on the remote release handle, located on the
floor near the left side of the driver’s seat, to release the
trunk lid. Make sure the lockout feature is not activated.
Remote Trunk Release Lockout
Your remote trunk release may be equipped with a
lockout feature to help prevent unauthorized entry into
the trunk when leaving the vehicle unattended. The
switch
is located on the inside of the trunk lid, mounted
to the trunk lid latch.
To turn the lockout on, slide
the switch all the way to the
right.
To turn the lockout
off, slide the switch all the
way to the left.
When the lockout
is on, the remote trunk release,
located in the vehicle, will not release the trunk lid.
However, the trunk lid can still be opened with the key.
If you have the optional Remote Lock Control feature,
your vehicle is not equipped with the trunk lockout switch.
