Operation - Pontiac 1998 Firebird Owner's Manual

Operation AlarWanic Mode
The driver's door will unlock automatically when
UNLOCK is pressed. If UNLOCK is pressed again
within five seconds, the passenger's door will also
unlock. All doors will lock when LOCK is pressed.
The hatch will unlock when the button with
REAR 2X
is pressed twice within five seconds, as long as the
ignition is turned to OFF. If the ignition is on, the
REAR 2X button will only work if the transmission is in
PARK (P)
for an
automatic transmission, or if the
parking brake is set on a manual
transmission.
The system will turn on the interior lamps
for about 40
seconds (or until the ignition is turned to RUN), when
you unlock the doors or hatch. The interior lamps will
go off when you lock the doors.
Operating the remote keyless entry transmitter may
interact with the Content Theft-Deterrent System (if you
have this option). See "Content Theft-Deterrent System"
in the Index.
If you are involved in a panic situation, press the horn
symbol button on your remote keyless entry transmitter
and your vehicle's horn will sound and the parking lamps
will flash. This will draw needed attention to you and your
vehicle. To t u r n this feature off, either push the horn
symbol button again or t u r n the ignition to ON. Note: This
feature w i l l not work if your ignition is on or if the key
fob is 30 feet (9 m) or more away from your vehicle.
Synchronization
Synchronization
may
be necessary due to the security
method used by the remote keyless entry system. The
transmitter does not send the same signal twice to the
receiver. The receiver
will
not respond to a signal it has
been sent previously. This prevents anyone from recording
and playing back the signal h m the transmitter.
To resynchronize the transmitter with the receiver, stand
close to your vehicle, and at the same time press and
hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the
transmitter for about eight seconds. The door locks
should cycle and the parking lamps should flash to
confirm synchronization. If this does not happen, you
may need to replace the battery in your transmitter or
match the transmitter to your vehicle.
