Transmitter Verification (If Equipped)
This feature provides feedback to the holder of the
remote keyless entry transmitter that a command
has
been received by the Remote Lock Receiver. The
parking lamps will flash on every lock and unlock
command and the horn will sound only if the LOCK
button is pressed twice within five seconds. This allows
for silent operation of locking and unlocking unless a
confirming horn chirp is desired. Other options may be
selected
for
this feature (see "Feature Customization" 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.
Have each transmitter you intend to match ready
for the
next steps.
To
match transmitters to your vehicle:
1. Turn the ignition to RUN, then to OFF. This will
disarm the Content Theft-Deterrent System (if your
vehicle has this option).
2. Remove the RADIO fuse. This fuse is located in the
main fuse block, which is located on the left side of
your instrument panel. The RADIO fuse is located
on the lower right hand corner of the panel. See
"Fuses and Circuit Breakers" in the Index.
3. Turn the ignition fi-om OFF to RUN
three
times quickly
(within five seconds). The vehicle
w i l l
respond by
locking the doors, unlocking the driver's door and
releasing the hatch. Your transmitter is now ready to
match your vehicle. Leave the ignition in RUN.
4. Press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on
the first transmitter for up to 15 seconds. The vehicle
will respond as in Step 3.
5. Repeat Step 4 for the remaining transmitters.
6. When you have finished matching all of your
transmitters, replace
the
RADIO fuse.
7. Check that all transmitters work by pressing their buttons.
If the transmitters don't work, or if you'd rather not
match the transmitters yourself, see your Pontiac dealer.
