1997 PONTIAC GRAND AM trunk release

Operation
The following functions are available with the Keyless
Entry System:
LOCK: All doors will automatically lock when the
LOCK button on the transmitter is pressed. The interior
lamps 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
OW. 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 dealer. Remember to bring any remaining
transmitters with you when you go to your dealer. When
the dealer matches the replacement transmitter to your
vehicle, any remaining transmitters must also be
matched. Once your dealer 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 Keyless Entry System. Contact your
dealer for assistance with this.
