door lock SATURN VUE 2008 User Guide

To arm the theft-deterrent system, press the lock button
on the RKE transmitter when all doors and the hood
(vehicles started with the remote start feature only)
are closed. The security light will come on solid
for approximately 30 seconds and then ashes slowly.
If the lock button on the RKE transmitter is pressed
a second time, the theft-deterrent system will activate
immediately, bypassing the 30 second delay. The
content theft deterrent alarm is not armed until the
security light ashes slowly.
If any door, liftgate or the hood (vehicles started with
the remote start feature only) are opened without using
the key or pressing the unlock button on the RKE
transmitter, the exterior lamps ash and the horn will
sound for about 30 seconds. If the lock or unlock
button on the RKE transmitter is not pressed, the alarm
sounds and periodically repeats. If the system does
not operate as described above, see your dealer/retailer
for service.
The theft-deterrent system also activates if you lock
the doors with a key.
To avoid setting off the alarm by accident, always
unlock a door with the RKE transmitter or a key.
Unlocking a door any other way will set off the
alarm if the system has been armed.If you set off the alarm by accident, turn off the alarm
by pressing lock or unlock on the RKE transmitter or by
placing the key in the ignition and turning it to START.
Testing the Alarm
To test the alarm:
1. From inside the vehicle, lower the driver’s window
and open the driver’s door.
2. Get out of the vehicle, close the door and activate
the system by locking the doors with the RKE
transmitter.
3. Wait for the security light to ash slowly.
4. Then reach in through the window, unlock the
door with the manual door lock and open the
door. This should set off the alarm.
If the alarm does not sound when it should, but the
vehicle’s headlamps ash, check to see if the horn
works. The horn fuse may be blown. To replace the
fuse, seeFuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-97.
If the alarm does not sound or the vehicle’s headlamps
do not ash, see your dealer/retailer for service.

ACC (ACC/ACCESSORY):This position operates
some of the electrical accessories, such as the radio,
but not the climate control system.
Use ACC/ACCESSORY if you must have your vehicle
in motion while the engine is off, for example, if your
vehicle is being pushed or towed.
ON/RUN:This is the position the switch returns after
you start the engine and release the key. The switch
stays in ON/RUN when the engine is running. But even
when the engine is not running, you can use ON/RUN
to operate the electrical accessories, and to display
some instrument panel warning lights.
The battery could be drained if you leave the key in
the ACC/ACCESSORY or ON/RUN position with
the engine off. You may not be able to start your
vehicle if the battery is allowed to drain for an
extended period of time.
START:This position starts the engine. When the
engine starts, release the key. The switch returns to
ON/RUN for normal driving. Do not turn the key to
START if the engine is running.
Even if the engine is not running, ACC/ACCESSORY
and ON/RUN allow you to operate electrical accessories,
such as the radio.Key In the Ignition
Never leave your vehicle with the keys inside, as it is
an easy target for joy riders or thieves. If you leave
the key in the ignition and park your vehicle, a chime
will sound, when you open the driver’s door. Always
remember to remove your key from the ignition and take
it with you. This will lock your ignition and transmission.
Also, always remember to lock the doors.
The battery could be drained if you leave the key in the
ignition while your vehicle is parked. You may not be
able to start your vehicle after it has been parked for
an extended period of time.
Retained Accessory Power (RAP)
These vehicle accessories may be used for up to
10 minutes after the ignition key is turned off:
Outside Mirror
Power Windows
Radio
All these features work when the ignition key is in
the ON/RUN or ACC/ACCESSORY positions, until a
door is opened.
