Trunk Release: The trunk will unlock anytime the vehicle symbol on the transmitter is pressed and the ignition is OFF. If the ignition is on, the trunk will unlock if the gear selector is in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N) . The interior lamps will come on for 40 seconds or until the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. Battery Replacement Under normal use, the battery in your remote lock control transmitter should last about two years. Matching Transmitter(s)To Your Vehicle Each remote lock control 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 retailer. Remember to bring any remaining transmitters with you when you go to your retailer. When the retailer matches the replacement transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters must also be matched. Once your retailer has coded the new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock your vehicle, Each vehicle can have only two transmitters matched to it. You can match your transmitter to as many 1998 General Motors vehicles as you own, as long as they have the same Remote Lock Control system. Contact your retailer for assistance with this. 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. I NOTICE: When replacing the battery, use care not to touch anyof the circuitry. Static from your body transferred to these surfaces may damage the transmitter. 2-8
