2007 CHEVROLET OPTRA 5 keyless

Liftgate
{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the
liftgate open because carbon monoxide
(CO) gas can come into your vehicle.
You cannot see or smell CO. It can cause
unconsciousness and even death. If you
must drive with the liftgate open or if
electrical wiring or other cable connections
must pass through the seal between the
body and the liftgate:
Make sure all other windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed and select
the control setting that will force
outside air into your vehicle. See
Climate Control System on page 155.
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the
way. SeeEngine Exhaust on page 121.The liftgate on a hatchback or wagon can be
locked and unlocked from outside of the vehicle
by inserting the key into the lock and turning it.
The Remote Keyless Entry transmitter, if the
vehicle has one, can also be used. Then pull up
the handle above the license plate to open
the liftgate.
When closing the liftgate, close it from the center
to make sure it fully latches.

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.
Theft-Deterrent System
Your vehicle may have a theft-deterrent system.
The theft-deterrent system will not arm when
you lock the doors using the key or the manual
door lock. It activates only when you use the
optional remote keyless entry transmitter.
Arming the System
To arm the system, do the following:
1. Turn the ignition to LOCK and remove the key
from the ignition.
If the key is inserted in the ignition, the
transmitter will not operate the theft-deterrent
system.2. Close the doors, the windows, the hood, and
the trunk or liftgate.
Make sure the windows are closed, as the
system can be activated even if the windows
are open.
3. Lock the door using the remote keyless entry
transmitter. The transmitter must be used to
activate the theft-deterrent system.
•The LED light on the transmitter will
flash once.
•All of the doors will lock.
•The hazard warning lamps will flash once
and the horn will chirp.
•The theft-deterrent mode will activate.
•The security light will flash once every
second to indicate that the theft-deterrent
system is armed. The security light is located
on the base of the driver’s door lock.
103

To avoid activating the alarm by accident, use
one of the following methods:
•Unlock the driver’s or passenger’s door using
the key.
•Press the unlock button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter.
Unlocking a door any other way will activate the
alarm when a door, the trunk or liftgate is opened.
If you do not want to arm the theft-deterrent
system, lock the vehicle using the key or the
manual door locks.
Disarming the System
To disarm the system, use one of the following
methods:
•Unlock the driver’s or passenger’s door using
the key.
•Press the unlock button on the transmitter.
- The LED light on the transmitter will
flash once.
- All of the doors will unlock.
- The hazard warning lamps will flash
twice.
- The theft-deterrent mode will deactivate.
If the door is not opened or if the engine is not
started within 30 seconds after disarming the
system with the transmitter, all of the doors will
automatically lock and the theft-deterrent mode
will reactivate.
104

How the System Alarm is Activated
If a door or the trunk or liftgate is opened without
using the key or the remote keyless entry
transmitter, the horn will sound and the lamps will
flash for up to 30 seconds.
How to Turn Off the System Alarm
If the system alarm is active, it can be deactivated
using one of the following methods:
•Press the lock or unlock button on the remote
keyless entry transmitter.
•Unlock the driver’s or passenger’s front door
using the key.
Otherwise, the alarm will automatically stop after
30 seconds. The system will then lock the
doors and reactivate the theft-deterrent system.
How to Detect a Tamper Condition
If the hazard warning lamps flash once when you
press the lock or unlock buttons on the remote
keyless entry transmitter, that means the
theft-deterrent system alarm was triggered while
you were away, from the vehicle.
Starting and Operating
Your Vehicle
New Vehicle Break-In
Notice:Your vehicle does not need an
elaborate break-in. But it will perform better in
the long run if you follow these guidelines:
Do not drive at any one constant speed,
fast or slow, for the rst 500 miles
(805 km). Do not make full-throttle starts.
Avoid downshifting to brake, or slow,
the vehicle.
Avoid making hard stops for the rst
200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time
your new brake linings are not yet
broken in. Hard stops with new linings can
mean premature wear and earlier
replacement. Follow this breaking-in
guideline every time you get new brake
linings.
Following break-in, engine speed and load can
be gradually increased.
