Rear Compartment Lid Release
The rear compartment lid release system includes the following main
components:
| • | The rear compartment lid latch assembly. This assembly includes
an electrically-controlled release actuator and a release cable. |
| • | The rear compartment lid latch striker. |
| • | A rear compartment lid release button. For Buick and Oldsmobile,
this button is mounted on the instrument panel, to the left of the steering
column. For Pontiac, this button is located below the driver's door armrest. |
| • | A valet switch (remote trunk release lockout switch). This switch
is located in the instrument panel compartment (glovebox) for Buick and Oldsmobile.
For Pontiac, the switch is located in the rear compartment. Setting the switch
to OFF disables the rear compartment lid release button. |
| • | The keyless entry transmitter (if equipped). |
Pressing the rear compartment lid release button opens the rear compartment
provided that the following conditions are both true:
| • | The gear shift lever is in PARK or NEUTRAL. |
| • | The valet switch is in the ON position. |
Pressing rear compartment lid release button on the keyless entry transmitter
(if equipped) opens the rear compartment provided that one of the following
is true:
| • | The ignition switch is OFF. |
| • | The ignition switch is in RUN and the gear shift lever is set
to PARK. |
The valet switch disables the rear compartment lid release button. Lid
release operation using the keyless entry transmitter is not affected. (The
keyless entry transmitter opens the rear compartment even if the valet switch
is active.)
Fuel Filler Door Lock
Pontiacs with keyless entry (T2T) are equipped with a fuel filler door
lock actuator. The driver's power door lock operates the fuel filler door.
The fuel filler door may be unlocked using one of the following:
| • | The outside door lock key. |
| • | The inside power door lock button. |
| • | The driver's door unlock button on the remote keyless entry transmitter. |
The fuel filler door may also be opened using the manual fuel door release,
located in the top of the rear compartment, on the left hand side.
