Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine One key is used for the
ignition, the doors and
all other locks. (Note that
there is
no lock cylinder
for the
trunk or the
passenger’s door.)
If you’ve lost your key or need to have a new one made,
you will have to contact your Catera dealer for the
correct key code.
NOTICE:
Door Locks
Your Catera has a number of new features that
can help prevent theft. You can have a lot of
trouble getting into your vehicle
if you ever
lock your keys inside and you
may have to
damage your vehicle to get in. Be sure you
have extra keys. Unlocked
doors can be dangerous.
Passengers
-- especially children -- can easily
open the doors and fall out. When a door
is
locked, the inside handle won’t open it.
Outsiders can easily enter through an unlocked
door when you slow down or stop your vehicle.
This may not be
so obvious: You increase the
chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in
a
crash if the doors aren’t locked. Wear safety belts
properly, lock your doors, and you will be
far
better off whenever you drive your vehicle.
There are several ways to lock and unlock your vehicle.
From the outside, use your key or the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter. This will avoid setting
off the
optional theft deterrent alarm.

The rear doors of your vehicle cannot be opened from
the inside when this feature
is in use.
When you want to open a rear door when the security
lock is on:
1. Unlock the door from the inside.
2. Then open the door from the outside.
To cancel the rear door lock:
1. Unlock the door from the inside and open the door
from the outside.
2. Move the lever all the why Bp.
3. Do the same for the other rear door.
The rear door locks will now work normally.
Anti-Lockout Feature
Leaving your key in any ignition position with any
door open will disable the use
of the power door lock
switches.
If you close the door, you can lock it using the
RKE system. It is always recommended that you remove
the ignition key when locking your vehicle.
Leaving Your Vehicle
If you are leaving your vehicle, open the door, set the
locks from the inside, get out and close the door.
Remote Keyless Entry System (RKE)
With this feature, you can
lock and unlock the doors,
open the trunk, unlock the
fuel door and
turn on your
vehicle’s interior lamps
using the remote keyless
entry transmitter supplied
with your vehicle.
Your remote keyless entry system operates on a radio
frequency subject to Federal Communications
Commission
(FCC) Rules and with Industry Canada.
Note that the anti-lockout feature can be overridden
by holding the power door lock switch for three seconds
or longer.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Operation
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.
