2007 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO turn signal

At times you may notice a decrease in range. This
is normal for any remote keyless entry 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.
Check to determine if battery replacement is
necessary. See “Battery Replacement”
underRemote Keyless Entry (RKE) System
Operation on page 91.
If you are still having trouble, see your dealer
or a qualied technician for service.
Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
System Operation
The vehicle’s doors can be locked and unlocked,
and the trunk can be unlatched from about
3 feet (1 m) up to 65 feet (20 m) away with the
remote keyless entry transmitter.
If your vehicle has the remote start feature you
can also start your vehicle with the remote keyless
entry transmitter. Your remote keyless entry
transmitter, with the remote start button, provides
an increased range of 195 feet (60 m) away.
However, the range may be less while the vehicle
is running. As a result, you may need to be
closer to your vehicle to turn it off than you were
to turn it on.
There are other conditions which can affect the
performance of the transmitter. SeeRemote
Keyless Entry (RKE) System on page 90.

V(Remote Trunk Release):Press and hold
this button for about one second to release the
trunk lid. The transaxle must be in PARK (P) for
this feature to operate.
L(Vehicle Locator/Panic Alarm):Press and
release this button to locate your vehicle. The turn
signal lamps will ash and the horn will sound
three times. Press and hold this button for more
than two seconds to activate the panic alarm.
The turn signal lamps will ash and the horn will
sound repeatedly for 30 seconds. The alarm
will turn off when the ignition is turned to RUN or
the alarm button is pressed again. The ignition
must be in OFF for the panic alarm to work.
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
GM dealer. Remember to bring any additional
transmitters so they can also be re-coded to
match the new transmitter. Once your dealer has
coded the new transmitter, the lost transmitter
will not unlock your vehicle. The vehicle can have
a maximum of eight transmitters matched to it.
See Remote Key underDIC Operation and
Displays on page 187.

To start the vehicle using the remote start feature,
do the following:
1. Aim the transmitter at the vehicle.
2. Press and release the transmitter’s lock
button, then immediately press and hold
the transmitter’s remote start button until the
turn signal lights ash or if the vehicle’s
lights are not visible, press and hold the
remote start button for at least four seconds.
The vehicle’s doors will lock. Pressing the
remote start button again after the vehicle has
started will turn off the ignition.
3. When the vehicle starts, the parking lamps
will turn on and remain on while the vehicle
is running.
4. If it is your rst remote start since last driving,
repeat these steps while the engine is still
running for a 10 minute time extension.
When you enter the vehicle during a remote
start, and the engine is still running, turn the
key to the RUN position to drive the vehicle.If the vehicle is left running it will automatically
shut off after 10 minutes unless a time extension
has been done.
To manually shut off a remote start, do any of the
following:
Aim the remote keyless entry transmitter at
the vehicle and press the remote start
button until the parking lamps turn off.
Turn on the hazards warning ashers.
Turn the ignition switch on and then off.
The remote vehicle start feature provides
two separate starts, each with 10 minutes of engine
running, or it provides one start with 10 minutes
of engine running that may be extended with
10 more minutes. If you press and release the
transmitter lock button and then press and
hold the remote start button, on the remote
keyless entry transmitter, again before the rst
10 minutes of engine running time has expired,
10 minutes are added to the remaining minutes.

Theft-Deterrent Systems
Vehicle theft is big business, especially in some
cities. Although your vehicle has a number of
theft-deterrent features, we know that nothing we
put on it can make it impossible to steal.
Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle may have the optional content
theft-deterrent alarm system.
To activate the theft-deterrent system:
1. Open the door.
2. Lock the door with the power door lock switch
or the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter.
If you are using the RKE transmitter, the door
does not need to be open.
3. Close all doors.
Once armed, the alarm will go off if someone
tries to enter the vehicle without using the
RKE transmitter or a key or turns the ignition on
with an incorrect key. The horn will sound and the
turn signal lamps will ash for about two minutes.When the alarm is armed, the trunk may be
opened with the RKE transmitter. The power door
lock switches are disabled and the doors remain
locked. You must use your RKE transmitter or your
key to unlock the doors when the system is
armed.
Arming with the Power Lock Switch
The alarm system will arm when you use either
power lock switch to lock the doors while any door
or the trunk is open and the key is removed
from the ignition.
Arming with the RKE Transmitter
The alarm system will arm when you use your
RKE transmitter to lock the doors, if the key is not
in the ignition.
Disarming with the RKE Transmitter
The alarm system will disarm when you use your
RKE transmitter to unlock the doors.
The rst time a remote unlock command is
received, three ashes will be seen and three horn
chirps heard to indicate an alarm condition has
occurred since last arming.

4. The indicator light will ash slowly at rst and
then rapidly after Universal Home Remote
successfully receives the frequency signal
from the hand-held transmitter. Release both
buttons.
5. Press and hold the newly-trained Universal
Home Remote button and observe the
indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on continuously,
programming is complete and your device
should activate when the Universal Home
Remote button is pressed and released.
To program the remaining two Universal Home
Remote buttons, begin with Step 2 under
“Programming Universal Home Remote.”
Do not repeat Step 1 as this will erase all of
the programmed channels.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for
two seconds and then turns to a constant light,
continue with Steps 6 through 8 following to
complete the programming of a rolling-code
device, most commonly, a garage door opener.6. Locate in the garage, the garage door opener
receiver (motor-head unit). Locate the “Learn”
or “Smart” button. This can usually be
found where the hanging antenna wire is
attached to the motor-head unit.
7. Firmly press and release the “Learn” or
“Smart” button. The name and color of
the button may vary by manufacturer.
You will have 30 seconds to start Step 8.
8. Return to the vehicle. Firmly press and hold
the programmed Universal Home Remote
button for two seconds, then release it.
Immediately press and hold the same
button a second time for two seconds, then
release it. Immediately, press and hold
the same button a third time for two seconds,
then release.
The Universal Home Remote should now
activate the rolling-code device.
To program the remaining two Universal
Home Remote buttons, begin with Step 2 of
“Programming Universal Home Remote.” You
do not want to repeat Step 1, as this will erase
all previous programming from the Universal
Home Remote buttons.
