Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Manual Lumbar Support
The lumbar controls are
located on the outboard side
of each front seat. They
provide additional support
to your lower back and
work independently
of
other seat controls.
To raise the seat cushion up or down, press one of the
rocker switch buttons located on the outboard side
of the
passenger’s seat. The top button raises the seat cushion
and the bottom button lowers the seat cushion. Use manual
or power seat controls first to get the proper
seating position. Then proceed with the lumbar adjustment.
The upper and lower seatback can be adjusted using the
two small hand-wheel controls. The top hand-wheel
control adjusts the upper seatback and the bottom
control adjusts the lower seatback. Turn the controls
forward to increase support and rearward to
decrease support.
Keep in mind that as your seating position changes, as it
may during long trips,
so should the position of the
lumbar support. Adjust the seat as needed.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If a failure in the power supply system occurs, the power
seats can be manually adjusted by inserting the crank
handle into the slot located below the seat cushion (as
shown in the above illustration). Turn the crank handle
clockwise until you’ve reached your desired seating
position (note that manually moving the seat requires
turning the crank handle many times).
The crank handle is provided in the tool kit located in
the trunk (with the jack).
Memory Seat and Mirrors (Option)
Adjust the driver’s seat to a comfortable position. Also
adjust the interior and exterior mirrors. Press memory
button
“M’ and memory button “1” at the same time.
These buttons are located on the outboard side
of the
driver’s seat. Seat and mirror positions may be
programmed for two additional drivers by repeating the
above steps and pressing memory button
“2” or “3”
instead of memory button 1.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine If your vehicle is in PARK (P), you can recall mirror and
seating positions by pressing and holding one of the
three memory buttons. This will adjust the seat and
mirrors
to where you have previously programmed
them. Seat and mirror movement is immediately stopped
if the memory button is released or if a seat or mirror
control is moved.
Note that the exterior mirrors will only adjust when the
ignition is turned on.
Heated Front Seat (Option)
The controls are located
next to the radio on the
center console. Press this
button to
turn on the
heating element
in the
seat. The seatback and
cushion are warmed
until they approximate
body temperature.
A telltale light in the button reminds you that the heating
system is in use. The heated seats can only be used when
the ignition is turned on.
Reclining Front Seatbacks
This feature is found on
the passenger’s seat only.
The manual recliner
control is located on the
outboard side of the
passenger’s seat below the
lumbar controls. See “Manual Lumbar Support”
earlier in this section.
To move the seatback forward, turn the hand-wheel
control forward. Note that this seatback folds forward all
the way down,
if needed, to provide extra storage.
Turn the control rearward to recline the seatback.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine For more cargo space or to fold down the front
passenger's seat, you may need to remove the head
restraints. Press both release buttons at the top

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Programmable Automatic Door Locks
Each RKE transmitter supplied with your vehicle can be
programmed to suit each driver’s door lock preference.
The two RKE transmitters are identified on the back
with either a
“I” or a “2”, which allows either driver to
program their own door locks.
With
RKE, the automatic door locks can be programmed
to lock when the shift lever
is moved out of PARK (P)
and unlock when the shift lever
is moved back into
PARK (P). The door locks can also be programmed to
remain locked whether or not the shift lever
is returned
to the PARK (P) position.
With the ignition on, the transmission in PARK
(P)
and the brake pedal pressed in, you are now ready to
begin programming.
To enable the doors to lock when shifting out of PARK (P)
and to unlock when shifting back into
PARK (P), press
the lock button on
the RKE transmitter four times within
five seconds.
To disable the door unlock feature when shifting back
into PARK (P), press the unlock button on the
RKE
transmitter four times within five seconds. The doors
will lock when the shift lever is moved out of
PARK (P)
and will remain locked when the shift lever is moved
back into
PARK (P).
Keep
in mind that pressing the lock or unlock buttons on
the
RKE transmitter several times in a row (about 12
times) may cause the vehicle’s system to lock you out. If
this happens, wait about
30 seconds before trying to
enter your vehicle again.

When you press this symbol to unlock the
driver’s door, the parking lamps on your vehicle will
blink twice. Pressing it again within five seconds will
unlock the other doors. Pressing this button will also
disarm the optional theft-deterrent system and turn
on
the interior lamps (for approximately 20 seconds).
8 When you press this symbol to lock the doors
(including the fuel door), the parking lamps will blink
once. This also arms the optional theft-deterrent system.
6b Press this symbol to open the trunk.
Press this button to unlock the fuel door.
Note that pressing the transmitter buttons numerous
times (approximately
500 times) out of the vehicle’s
operating range may cause the transmitter not
to work.
Replacing the battery and pressing the transmitter
buttons
10 or more times out of range will also cause the
transmitter not to work.
To reset the transmitter, you
must be within the vehicle’s operating range. Press and
hold the trunk button and, within one second, press the
lock button. Continue to hold both buttons for
approximately three seconds.
See your Catera dealer for
service if your transmitter still doesn’t work properly.
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 dealer. Once your dealer has
coded the new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not
unlock your vehicle. Each vehicle can have only two
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.
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.

Rotate the dial to position A and press until the
sunroof is fully open.
Return to position
E and keep pressing the control
dial until the sunroof has fully closed.
Note that after programming,
if the sunroof keeps opening
after you attempt to close it, you will need to repeat Steps \
2 through 5 (up to three times if needed). If you are still
having problems, consult your Catera dealer for service.
Also keep in mind that
if something is in the way of the
sunroof closing during programming and you continue
to program the sunroof, the sunroof will only open or
close to the spot where the obstruction occurred. You
will need to reprogram the sunroof again, making sure
that the object has been removed.
Universal Transmitter (Option)
The three Universal Transmitter buttons are located
under
the inside rearview mirror.
This transmitter allows you to consolidate the functions
of up to three individual hand-held transmitters. It will
operate garage doors and gates, or with the accessory
package, other devices controlled by radio frequency
such as home/office lighting systems.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The transmitter will learn and transmit the frequencies
of most current transmitters and is powered by your
vehicle’s battery and charging system.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This device complies with RSS-210 of Industry Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1)
this device may not cause interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of
the device.
Programming the Transmitter
Do not use the universal transmitter with any garage
door opener that does not have the “stop and reverse”
safety feature. This includes any garage door opener
model manufactured before April 1, 1982.
Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage
door you are programming.
Your vehicle’s engine should be turned
off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to
program up to three channels:
1. If you have not previously programmed a transmitter
channel, proceed to Step 2. Otherwise, hold down
the two outside buttons on the universal transmitter
until the red light begins to flash rapidly
(approximately
20 seconds). Then release the
buttons. This procedure initializes the memory and
erases any previous settings for all three channels.
2. Decide which one of the three channels you want
to program.

front surface of the universal transmitter
so that you
can still see the red light.
4. Using both hands, press the hand-held transmitter
button and the desired button on the universal
transmitter. Continue to hold both buttons through
Step
5.
5. Hold down both buttons until you see the red light
on the universal transmitter flash slowly and then
rapidly. The rapid flashing, which could take up to
90 seconds, indicates that the universal transmitter
has been programmed. Release both buttons once the
light starts to flash rapidly.
If you have trouble programming the universal
transmitter, make sure that you have followed the
directions exactly as described and that the battery in the
hand-held transmitter is not dead. If you still cannot
program it, rotate the hand-held transmitter end over end
and try again. The universal transmitter may not work
with older garage door openers that do not meet current
Federal Consumer Safety Standards. If you cannot
program the transmitter after repeated attempts, consult
your Catera dealer.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Be sure to keep the original hand-held transmitter
in case you need to erase and reprogram the
universal transmitter.
Note to Canadian Owners: During programming, the
hand-held transmitter may stop transmitting after one or
two seconds. If you
are programming from one of these
transmitters,
you should press and re-press the button on
the hand-held transmitter every two seconds without
ever releasing the button on the universal transmitter.
Release both buttons when the red light on the universal
transmitter begins to flash rapidly.
Operating the Transmitter
Press and hold the appropriate button on the universal
transmitter. The red light comes on while the signal is
being transmitted.
Note that the effective transmission range
of the
universal transmitter may differ from your hand-held
transmitter and from one channel to another.
Erasing Channels
To erase all three programmed channels, hold down the
two outside buttons until the red light begins to flash.
Individual channels cannot be erased, but can be
reprogrammed using the procedure for programming
the transmitter explained earlier.
