Getting to Know Your 2004 Alero
Delayed Locking
With Delayed Locking, when your keys are removed from the ignition and a door is opened, a chime will sound three times after you press the Power Door Lock switch. The chime indicates that the doors will not lock until after all the doors have been closed for seven seconds.
You may cancel this feature through the following ways:
- Press the door Unlock switch (to unlock).
- Override it by pressing the door Lock switch again or the Lock button on the optional Remote Keyless Entry transmitter to immediately lock the doors.
Delayed Locking allows you to get back into the vehicle to grab a package or a small child without having to activate the door Lock switch again.
Remote Keyless Entry
The Remote Keyless Entry transmitter can be used to lock or unlock your vehicle, open the trunk or activate the alarm. When you press the Unlock or Trunk release button, the vehicle’s interior lamps will illuminate. In addition, both audible and visual feedback is provided when operating the transmitter buttons while performing the following functions:
- Lock button: Park lamps flash twice and horn chirps (if all doors are closed).
- Unlock button: Park lamps flash twice on first button press as driver’s door unlocks. Remaining doors unlock on second press of button.
- Trunk button: No park lamps flash and no horn chirps as trunk is released.
- Alarm button: This feature allows you to draw attention to your vehicle when personal safety is in question. Park lamps and headlamps will flash followed by horn activation. You can disable this feature by pressing the Alarm button a second time or by turning your ignition to ON. After one minute, this feature will automatically turn off.
Your vehicle is equipped with a Remote Trunk Release Lockout feature. When the lockout is on, the remote trunk release button on the driver’s door (or on the Remote Keyless Entry transmitter, if equipped) will not release the trunk lid. However, the trunk lid can still be opened with the key.
The lockout mechanism is mounted to the trunk lid latch on the inside of the trunk lid. To turn the lockout off, slide the switch all the way to the right (OFF). To turn the lockout on, slide the switch all the way to the left (ON).
