Battery Replacement; Matching Transmitter(S) To Your Vehicle - Buick 1999 Regal Owner's Manual

Illumination on Remote Activation
This feature provides interior lighting when a remote
keyless entry door unlock command is received and
executed by your vehicle. Your vehicle's ignition must
be off for the Illumination on Remote Activation feature
to work. The interior lamps will light until your
vehicle's ignition is turned to RUN or for a period of 40
seconds has elapsed. If a door is opened during this
period, the timed lighting will be canceled, and the
interior lamps will remain on since a door is open. Also
see "Perimeter Lighting" in the Index.

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.

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.
NOTICE:
When replacing the battery, use care not to touch
any of the circuitry. Static from your body
transferred to these surfaces may damage
the transmitter.
