Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine OFF (I): This position lets you turn off the engine but
still turn the steering wheel. It doesn’t lock the steering
wheel like
LOCK. Use OFF if you must have your
vehicle in motion while the engine
is off (for example, if
your vehicle is being pushed).
RUN (11): The ignition is on in this position. RUN is
used for driving your vehicle.
START (III): This position starts the engine.
To lock the steering column, remove the key while in
LOCK. Rotate the steering wheel until you hear a click.
Retained Accessory Power
The radio is the only accessory on your Catera that may
be used
for up to 10 minutes after the ignition is turned
to OFF.
Power to the fuel door, trunk release and door locks is
available at all times. The power window controls and the
sunroof controls are active until a door is opened
-- there
is no time limit as long as the doors remain closed.
Starting Your Engine
Move your shift lever to PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).
Your engine won’t start in any other position -- that’s a
safety feature. To restart when you’re already moving,
use NEUTRAL
(N) only.
NOTICE:
Don’t try to shift to PARK (P) if your Catera
is moving. If you do, you could damage the
transmission. Shift to PARK
(P) only when your
vehicle is stopped.
1. Without pushing the accelerator pedal, turn your
ignition key to START. When the engine starts, let
go of the key. The idle speed will
go down as your
engine gets warm.
NOTICE:
Holding your key in START for longer than
15 seconds at a time will cause your battery to be
drained much sooner. And the excessive heat can
damage your starter motor.
2. If it doesn’t start right away, hold your key in
START for about three seconds at a time until your
engine starts. Wait about
15 seconds between each
try to help avoid draining your battery.

The
reading lamps are located in the roof. These lamps
and the interior courtesy lamps come on when any door
is opened and it is dark outside.
Placing the button in the center position enables the lamps to come on when any door is opened. Pressing the button
toward the rear of your vehicle disables the lamps when
any door is opened. With the button set toward
the front of
the vehicle, the lamps will always be on.
If the reading lamps are left on, they automatically shut
off 10 minutes after the ignition has been turned off.
This lamp assembly is located in the overhead console
near the optional
sunroo.f control. Press either button to
turn the driver’s or passenger’s side lamp on and press
the button again to turn the lamp
off.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Cellular Telephone (Option)
Your vehicle has been prewired for dealer installation of
a Catera dual-mode (analog/digital) cellular portable
telephone. Voice activation and hands-free operation
are standard features. For more information, contact
your Catera dealer.
A user’s guide is provided with
the telephone.
Assist Handles
A handle above each door can be used when getting out
of your vehicle.
Garment Hooks
Sunroof (Option)
The express-open sunroof-
provides an airy, spacious
feel to your vehicle’s
interior and can also
increase ventilation. It
includes a sliding glass
panel and a sliding
sunshade. Power is supplied
to the sunroof when the
ignition key is turned to the
RUN position.
For convenience, you will find garment
hooks attached
to each assist handle.
Floor Mats
Your Catera is equipped with rubber-backed front and
rear floor mats. Keep them clean by vacuuming and
using a spot cleaner,
if necessary. Do not machine wash. When you
stop your vehicle and turn the ignition key to
LOCK, you can still use the sunroof. The electrical
power to operate the sunroof will not shut
off until a
door is opened
-- there is no time limit to this feature.
As soon as a door is opened, sunroof movement will
stop immediately.
