2002 Pontiac Firebird Owner's Manual - Page 78

Before your vehicle was shipped from the factory, it was programmed in Mode 4. The mode to which the vehicle has been programmed may have been changed since it left the factory. To determine the mode to which your vehicle is programmed or to program your vehicle to a different mode, do the following: 1. Turn the courtesy lamps on by turning the instrument panel brightness thumbwheel all the way up. 2. Count the number of chimes you hear. The number of chimes tells you which mode your vehicle is set for. (If you do not wish to change the current mode, you can either exit the programming mode by following the instructions later in this section or program the next feature available on your vehicle.) 3. Turn the courtesy lamps off to change the current mode. 4. Turn the courtesy lamps from on to off until you hear the number of chimes that corresponds to the mode selection you want. The mode you selected is now set. You can either exit the programming mode by following the instructions later in this section or program the next feature available on your vehicle.
