Matching Transmitter(s,) Your Vehicle To 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 two transmitters matched to it. You can match your transmitter to as, many 1997 General Motors vehicles as you own, as long as they have the same Remote Keyless Entry system. Contact your dealer for assistance with this. Battery Replacement Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless entry transmitter should last about two 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. I NOTICE: When replacing the battery, use care nottoucn to any of the circuitry. Static from your body transferred to these surfacesmay damage the transmitter. 2-8
