2002 Oldsmobile Alero Owner's Manual - Page 71

Before your vehicle was shipped from the factory it was programmed in Mode 1. To determine the current mode or to change to a different mode, do the following: 1. Put an automatic transaxle in PARK (P) or a manual transaxle in REVERSE (R) with the parking brake engaged and turn the ignition to ON. 2. Press and hold the lower part of the power door lock switch for 10 seconds. Release the switch when you hear the chime. 3. Count the number of chimes you hear. The number of chimes tells you which mode your vehicle is in. You can change the mode by pressing and holding the lower part of the power door lock switch (two chimes for Mode 2, three chimes for Mode 3 and four chimes for Mode 4). 4. Repeat Step 2 until you hear the number of chimes that matches the mode you want. The mode you selected is now set. Delayed Locking This feature will allow the driver to delay the actual locking of the vehicle. This feature will not operate if the key is left in the ignition. See "Anti-Lockout Protection" later in this section. When the lower part of the driver's power door lock switch is pressed, with the key removed from the ignition and the driver's door open, three chimes will be heard. The doors will not lock. Seven seconds after the driver's door has been closed, all of the doors will lock and the parking lamps will flash. The horn will also chirp if the horn chirp feature is enabled. See "Programmable Horn Chirp" in the Index for more information. If the driver opens another door before the seven seconds are up, the doors will not lock until seven seconds have elapsed after the last door is closed. If the lower part of the power door lock switch is pressed twice when leaving the vehicle, or the lock symbol button on the remote keyless entry transmitter is pressed, the doors will lock immediately. If the power door lock switch is pressed to unlock, the doors will not lock automatically. 2-9
