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 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. For
battery replacement, use a Duracell@battery, type
DL-2032, or a similar type.

transferred to these surfaces may damage
the transmitter.
2. Once the transmitter is separated, use a pencil to
remove the old battery. Do not use a metal object.
3. Replace the battery as the instructions under the
cover indicate.
4. Snap the transmitter back together tightly to be sure
no moisture can enter.
5. Resynchronize the transmitter by pressing and
holding the
LOCK and UNLOCK buttons for eight
seconds within range
of the vehicle. Once the
transmitter is resynchronized, the horn will chirp and
the exterior lamps will flash once.

Trunk Remote Trunk Release Lockout
Trunk Lock Release
To unlock the trunk from the outside, insert the door key
and turn it.
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 system also works with the Remote Lock Control.
The trunk will unlock when the opened trunk symbol is
pressed, but only when the ignition is
off. The trunk
symbol will
also work when the ignition is on, but only
while in PARK
(P) or NEUTRAL (N). The
trunk release switch in
the glove
box allows you to
secure items in the trunk.
Move the trunk release switch to
OFF, lock the glove
box and take the key with you. Now the trunk release to
the right of the steering column will not open the trunk.
However, the Remote Lock Control Transmitter will still open the trunk.
Trunk Security Override
The Remote Lock Control transmitter will open the
trunk even
if the override switch is in the OFF position.

It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide (CO)
gas can
come into your vehicle.
You can’t see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the trunk lid open or if
electrical wiring or other cable connections must
pass through the seal between the body and the
trunk lid:
Make sure all windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting
on any airflow selection except RECIRC.
That will force outside air into your vehicle.
See “Comfort Controls” in the Index.
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them
all the way.
See “Engine Exhaust” in the Index.
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 leave your vehicle with the keys inside, it’s an
easy target for joy riders or professional thieves
-- so
don’t do it.
With the ignition
OFF and the driver’s door open, 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 at Night
Park in a lighted spot, close all windows and lock your
vehicle. Remember to keep your valuables out
of sight.
Put them in a storage area, or take them with you.
2-16

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?
0 Put your valuables in a storage area, like your trunk
or glove
box.
Move the trunk security override switch to OFF.
0 Lock the glove box.
0 Lock all the doors except the driver’s.
0 Then take the door key and Remote Lock Control
keychain with you.
Universal Theft-Deterrent
Your Aurora has a theft-deterrent alarm system. With
this system, if your ignition
is off, the SECURITY light
will flash as you open the door. This light
reminds you to
1.
2.
3.
SECURITY
Open the door.
Lock the door with the power door lock switch or
Remote Lock Control System. The SECURITY light
should come on and stay on.
Close all doors. The SECURITY light should go
off
after about 30 seconds. The security system is not
armed until the SECURITY light is off.
If the
SECURITY light stays on or flashes when the
ignition is turned on, there is a problem with the
system and the vehicle should be serviced.
