NOTES ABOUT THE KEYS
• It is recommended that the central locking system always be operated using the
remote control unit.
• The hazard warning lights ash briey to show that the remote control is operational.
• The remote control in the key has a range of approximately 6 metres. The range is
dependent on the charge state of the transmitter battery and on ambient conditions
of the vehicle’s location, the key’s location and the area between them. If the key
buttons do not work, change your position to the vehicle and try again. Normally,
getting closer to the vehicle will solve the problem. Certain conditions also enable
ranges of more than 6 metres. Take care that no button is pressed unintentionally,
especially when the vehicle is out of sight.
•
If the voltage of the remote control battery is too low, change the battery in the
remote control unit. The remote control unit may have been operated too many
times in succession outside the vehicle’s reception range (e.g. too far from the
vehicle). Synchronise the remote control. Refer previously in this chapter.
• Tinting the vehicle windows reduces the range of the transmitter if the tinting
material has a metallic lm.
• The key buttons may not work if the vehicle is parked near strong radio activity,
such as under TV towers (most likely in high lookout car parks).
• 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, 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.
• If you are still having trouble, contact your Holden Dealer.
• When, for any reason, pressing the key buttons does not work, the doors can
be locked (anticlockwise) and unlocked (clockwise) by turning the key in the
driver’s door lock.
• Do not leave the remote control unit in direct sunlight or on the dashboard.
• Do not treat the remote control unit carelessly.
• Do not allow the remote control unit to get wet.
• Always store spare keys in a safe, dry place.
