horn SATURN ION 2005 Owners Manual

Changes or modications to this system by other than
an authorized service facility could void authorization to
use this equipment.
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” under
Remote Keyless Entry System Operation on
page 2-4.
If you are still having trouble, see your retailer or a
qualied technician for service.

W(Unlock):Press this symbol on the remote keyless
entry transmitter to unlock the driver’s door. This also
disarms the theft-deterrent system. SeeTheft-Deterrent
Systems on page 2-15. Press the button again to
unlock the rest of the doors.
Your vehicle can be programmed so that the parking
lamps will ash and/or the horn will sound when
you unlock the doors with the remote keyless entry
transmitter. See your retailer for more information on
programming this feature.
L(Panic Alarm):The remote keyless entry
transmitter comes equipped with an instant panic alarm.
Press the horn symbol when the ignition is turned off.
The horn will sound and the parking lamps and
dome lamp will ash for up to two minutes. To stop the
instant panic alarm, press the symbol again.
V(Trunk):Press this button to open the trunk. If the
vehicle’s speed is faster than 2 mph (3 km/h), the
trunk will not open when this button is pressed.
The remote keyless entry transmitter is used to
arm/disarm the theft-deterrent system. The system will
arm when the lock button on the remote keyless
entry transmitter pressed. The system will disarm when
the unlock button is pressed.
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 retailer. Remember to bring
any remaining transmitters with you when you go to
your retailer. When the retailer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock
your vehicle. Each vehicle can have a maximum of
four transmitters matched to it.
Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about four years.
You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter won’t
work at the normal range in any location. If you have
to get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it’s probably time to change the battery.
Notice:When replacing the battery, use care not to
touch any of the circuitry. Static from your body
transferred to these surfaces may damage the
transmitter.
