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.

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.

Return to position
E and keep pressing the control
dial until the sunroof has fully closed.
Note that after programming,
if the sunroof keeps opening
after you attempt to close it, you will need to repeat Steps \
2 through 5 (up to three times if needed). If you are still
having problems, consult your Catera dealer for service.
Also keep in mind that
if something is in the way of the
sunroof closing during programming and you continue
to program the sunroof, the sunroof will only open or
close to the spot where the obstruction occurred. You
will need to reprogram the sunroof again, making sure
that the object has been removed.
Universal Transmitter (Option)
The three Universal Transmitter buttons are located
under
the inside rearview mirror.
This transmitter allows you to consolidate the functions
of up to three individual hand-held transmitters. It will
operate garage doors and gates, or with the accessory
package, other devices controlled by radio frequency
such as home/office lighting systems.
