2006 PONTIAC GTO horn

Remote Keyless Entry System
Operation
The buttons on your key
allow you to lock and
unlock your doors
or unlock your trunk.
When pressing the key buttons, ensure that other keys
on the key ring are not between the main key and
the vehicle. Other keys can obscure the signal being
transmitted to the vehicle.When a button on the key is pressed, it sends a signal
to the vehicle. The receiver of the signal is a small
rectangle centered on top of the dashboard. The
receiver is also used to measure sunlight. It is important
that the receiver is clean, not covered, and that there
are no metal objects close by, as this may block
the signals.
LOCK:Press this button on the key to lock all the
doors, disable the engine, and set the alarm. The
vehicle's turn signals will brie¯y ¯ash.
If you prefer to have the turn signals ¯ash accompanied
by the horn sounding, the LOCK feature can be
changed. See
Vehicle Personalization on page 2-31.
The LOCK button on the key will not work if the ignition
is turned on, or if the driver's and/or passenger's
door is open.
Prior to locking your vehicle, make sure all the doors are
closed completely. If the LOCK button is pressed when a
door is open, the horn will sound three times to indicate
that a door has not locked. Close the open door and reset
the remote system by ®rst pressing the UNLOCK button
and then the LOCK button on the key.

UNLOCK:Press this button on the key to unlock the
doors. The turn signal lamps will ¯ash twice, and
the horn will chirp twice, if this unlocking option is
selected through vehicle personalization. The interior
light will also turn on for a short time. If UNLOCK
is pressed once, the driver's door will unlock. If UNLOCK
is pressed a second time, or is held down for more
than half a second, all the doors will unlock. If you prefer
to have all the doors unlock with a single press, the
unlock feature can be changed to unlock all doors. See
ªTwo Stage Unlockº under
Vehicle Personalization
on page 2-31.
If the lock system is overloaded as a result of repeated
use in a short time interval, the power supply is cut
off for about 30 seconds. The door lock system
has been designed to make the vehicle horn chirp
rapidly ®ve times if it detects a fault in the lock system
when the LOCK button is pressed. You should check to
see that the doors have locked.
V(Trunk):Press and hold this button for
approximately one second to release the trunk lid.
The trunk button on the key will not work if you
are travelling over 12 mph (20 km/h).
Battery
The key has a non-removable battery. Under normal
use, the battery in your key should last about ®ve years.
You can tell the battery is weak if the key will not
work at the normal range in any location. If you have to
get close to your vehicle before the key buttons work,
it is probably time for a replacement key. See your
dealership to purchase a replacement key.
If the buttons on the key are not working at the normal
range in any location, insert the key into the ignition
and turn it ON and then OFF. Remove the key from the
ignition and try pressing the LOCK and UNLOCK
buttons again. If it still does not work a replacement key
may be needed. You will have to go to the dealership
to purchase a replacement key.
