Keys, doors and windows 19
About the keys
• The remote control in the key has
a range of approximately
10 metres.
• The range depends on
the charge of the key battery,
on ambient conditions, the key’s
location and the area between
them.
• If the key buttons do not work,
move closer to the vehicle.
• Take care that no button is
pressed unintentionally, especially
when the vehicle is out of sight.
• Metallic window tint reduces the
range of the key.
• e on the key functions when in
the ignition, in any position, and
when removed from the vehicle.
• If any door/tailgate, is open when
e is pressed, the horn will chirp
fi ve times.
• 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).
• Ensure that other keys on the key
ring are not between the key and
the vehicle.
• Always store spare keys in a safe,
dry place.
• Do not disassemble the keys.
• At times, a decrease in range
may occur, which is normal.
• If the transmitter does not work:
You may need to stand closer
during rainy or snowy weather.
Other vehicles or objects may be
blocking the signal.
If you are still having trouble,
contact a Holden Dealer.
• The lithium battery should last
approximately three years with
normal use. See Replace battery
in remote key on page 86 .
Have a fl at key battery replaced
by a Holden Dealer.
• If pressing the key buttons does
not work, the doors/tailgate
can be locked and unlocked by
turning the key in the driver’s
door lock:
Turn the key towards the rear
of the vehicle (once) to lock
all doors/tailgate.
Turn the key towards the front
of the vehicle once to unlock the
driver’s door, twice to unlock
all doors/tailgate.
Opening the door will cause
activation of the alarm after
a preset period of time. If this
occurs, insert the key into the
ignition and turn on.
• If the vehicle is delivered with only
one key, or the key shows signs
of damage, contact your Holden
Dealer as soon as possible.
