To change the mode:
1. Press and hold LOCK on the power door lock switch
for ten seconds.
2. Count the number of chimes you hear. The number
of chimes tells you which mode your vehicle is in.
You can change the mode by pressing and holding
LOCK on the power door lock switch (two chimes
for mode 2, three chimes for mode 3 and four chimes
for mode 4).
3. Repeat Step 1 until you hear the number of chimes
that matches the mode you want.
The mode you selected is now set.
Delayed Locking
The Delayed Locking feature is standard and makes it
easier to use your power door locks at any time either
manually or with the power door lock switches.
When the driver leaves the vehicle and pushes the power
door lock switch to LOCK, three chimes will be heard.
The doors will not lock. Seven seconds after the driver's
door has been closed, all of the doors will lock, the
lamps will flash and the horn will chirp.If the driver opens another door before the seven
seconds, the doors will not lock until seven seconds after
the last door is closed.
If the power door lock switch is pressed to LOCK twice
when leaving the vehicle, the doors will immediately lock.
Rear Door Security Locks
Your vehicle is equipped
with rear door security
locks that help prevent
passengers from opening
the rear doors of your
vehicle from the inside.
The switch is located on the inside of the rear door.
To use the security locks:
1. Move the switch up.
2. Close the door.
3. Do the same thing on the other rear door.

2-9 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 will turn off 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 10 seconds or until the ignition is
turned on.
Trunk Release: The trunk will unlock anytime when
the vehicle symbol on the transmitter is pressed, the
trunk lockout is not engaged and the gear selector is in
PARK (P) or the parking brake is engaged. The interior
lamps will come on for 10 seconds or until the ignition
switch is turned to ON.
Horn Symbol: The horn will sound and the headlamps
and taillamps will flash for up to one minute when the
horn symbol on the transmitter is pressed. This can be
turned off by pressing the horn symbol button again or
by turning the ignition to ON.Programmable Horn Chirp
When you use the remote keyless entry transmitter to
lock the doors or use the delayed locking feature the
parking lamps will flash and the horn will chirp.
The programmable horn chirp can be disabled by
pressing and holding either of the door lock switches
in the unlock position for 10 seconds with the ignition
ON and all of the doors closed. When you hear the horn
chirp, programming is complete. To reactivate the horn
chirp feature, repeat the above procedure.
Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry 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 four transmitters
matched to it.
You can match your transmitter to as many
1999 General Motors vehicles as you own, as long
as they have the same keyless entry system.
Contact your dealer for assistance with this.
