2002 Oldsmobile Silhouette door lock

2-10 Lockout Deterrent
The lockout deterrent feature makes it difficult for you
to lock your keys in your vehicle. If the driver's door is
open while the keys are in the ignition, a chime will
sound and you will not be able to use your power door
lock switch to lock the vehicle.
If you don't leave the keys in the ignition or if you
use the manual door lock, you could still lock your keys
in your vehicle. Always remember to take your keys
with you.
To turn this feature off or on, see ªMultifunction Alarm
Locks and Lighting Choicesº in the Index.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving the vehicle, take your keys, open your
door and set the locks from the inside. Then get out and
close the door.

System (Option)
If your vehicle has this
feature, you can lock and
unlock your doors and the
liftgate from about 3 feet (1
m) up to 30 feet (9 m) away
using the remote keyless
entry transmitter supplied
with your vehicle.

that has a van symbol on it. Press it to open or close
the sliding door. See ªPower Sliding Doorº later in
this section.
If your vehicle has the optional dual power sliding
doors, your remote keyless entry transmitter will
have two buttons that have a van symbol on it. The
van symbol on the left is for the driver's side sliding
door and the van symbol on the right is for the
passenger's side sliding door. See ªPower Sliding Doorº
later in this section.

sliding door(s). The parking lamps will flash when the
right button with the van symbol is pressed and they
will not flash when the left button with the van symbol

the remote keyless entry transmitter only when the
power sliding door override switch(es) on the overhead
console is turned off. See ªPower Sliding Doorº later
in this section.
If your vehicle's fuel filler door is opened, the driver's
side power sliding door will not open completely.
Do not try to force the door. Once the fuel filler
door is closed, the driver's side sliding door can be
opened normally.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 a maximum of four
transmitters matched to it.
See your dealer to match transmitters to another vehicle.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about three 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.
