The range of this system is about
10 feet (3 m). At times
you may notice a decrease in range. This is normal for
any remote lock control system. If the transmitter does
not work or
if you have to stand closer to your vehicle
for the transmitter to work, try this:
Check the distance. You may be too far from your
vehicle. You may need to stand closer during rainy
or snowy weather.
Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may be
blocking the signal. Take a few steps to the
left or right,
hold the transmitter higher, and
try again
or a qualified technician for service.
If you’re still having trouble, see your Catera dealer
Changes or modifications to this system by other than an
authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
Check to determine if battery replacement is
necessary. See the instructions that follow.

When you press this symbol to unlock the
driver’s door, the parking lamps on your vehicle will
blink twice. Pressing it again within five seconds will
unlock the other doors. Pressing this button will also
disarm the optional theft-deterrent system and turn
on
the interior lamps (for approximately 20 seconds).
8 When you press this symbol to lock the doors
(including the fuel door), the parking lamps will blink
once. This also arms the optional theft-deterrent system.
6b Press this symbol to open the trunk.
Press this button to unlock the fuel door.
Note that pressing the transmitter buttons numerous
times (approximately
500 times) out of the vehicle’s
operating range may cause the transmitter not
to work.
Replacing the battery and pressing the transmitter
buttons
10 or more times out of range will also cause the
transmitter not to work.
To reset the transmitter, you
must be within the vehicle’s operating range. Press and
hold the trunk button and, within one second, press the
lock button. Continue to hold both buttons for
approximately three seconds.
See your Catera dealer for
service if your transmitter still doesn’t work properly.
Matching Transmitter(s) To Your Vehicle
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. 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.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about four 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.
When replacing the battery, use care not to touch
any
of the circuitry. Static from your body
transferred to these surfaces may damage
the transmitter.

Every new Catera has a Delco Freedom@ battery. You
never have to add water to one
of these. When it’s time
for a new battery, we recommend a Delco Freedom@
battery. Get one that has the replacement number shown
on the original battery’s label.
Batteries have acid that can burn you and gas
that can explode. You can be badly hurt if you
aren’t careful. See “Jump Starting” in the Index
for tips on working around a battery without
getting hurt.
Bulb Replacement
For bulb types, see “Replacement Bulbs” in the Index.
Halogen Bulbs
A CAUTION:
Halogen bulbs have pressurized gas inside and
can burst if you drop or scratch the bulb. You
or
others could be injured. Be sure to read and
follow the instructions on the bulb package.
Also, for your audio system, see “Theft-Deterrent
Feature” in
the Index.
