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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine When you stop your vehicle and turn the ignition key to
LOCK, you can still use the power windows. The
electrical power to operate the windows will not shut off
until a door is opened
-- there is no time limit to this
feature.
As soon as a door is opened, power window
movement will stop immediately.
Programming the Power Windows
If the battery on your vehicle has been disconnected or
is not working, you will need to reprogram each power
window in order for the express-open and close features
to work.
To program each window, press and hold the power
window control until the window has fully opened.
Continue holding the control down for approximately
five more seconds after the window is completely down.
The window is now programmed. Repeat this process
for each window.
Anti-Pinch Feature
If a hand, a head or another object is in the way of the
power window express-closing, the window will
immediately stop at the obstruction and express-open to
a preset factory position.
Note that pressing and holding the power window
control button will override the anti-pinch feature.
Rear Window Lockout
Pressing this button
rearward will disable the
rear passenger window
controls. This is a useful
feature if you have children
as passengers.
Press the
button forward to allow
your passengers to reuse
their window controls.
Horn
The horn can be sounded by pressing either horn symbol
on the steering wheel. The symbols are located at about
the
9 and 3 o’clock positions.

before using them. If they’re frozen to the windshield,
carefully loosen
or thaw them. If the blades do become
damaged, replace them with new blades.
Heavy
snow or ice can overload the wiper motor. A
circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools. Clear
away snow or ice to prevent an overload.
Windshield Washer
In freezing weather, don’t use your washer until
the windshield is warmed. Otherwise the washer
fluid can form ice on the windshield, blocking
your vision.
Pull and hold the washer
lever to wash the
windshield. Release the
lever when
you have
enough fluid. The wipers
will clear the windshield
and either stop or return to
your preset speed.
A telltale light on the instrument panel will be displayed
when the washer fluid reaches a low level. See “Low
Washer Fluid Warning Light” in the Index
for
more information.
Driving without washer fluid can be dangerous.
A bad
mud splash
can block your vision and you could hit
another vehicle or
go off the road. Check the washer
fluid level often.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Speedometer and Odometer
The speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour
(M). The
odometer shows how
far your vehicle has been driven,
in either miles (used in the United States) or kilometers
(used in Canada).
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer tells how far you have driven since
you last reset it. To set it to zero, press the knob located
below the speedometer on the instrument cluster.
Tachometer
This gage indicates the
engine speed in revolutions
per minute (rpm).
w RPM x 1000
NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the red area or engine damage may occur.
Engine Speed Limiter
This feature prevents the engine from operating at too
many revolutions per minute (rpm). When the engine’s
rpms
are critically high, the fuel supply to the engine
is shut
off. When the engine speed slows, the fuel
supply will come on again.
This helps prevent damage
to the engine.
Warning Lights, Gages and Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and gages that
may be on your vehicle. The pictures will help you
locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something is
wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an
expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to
your warning lights and gages could also save you or
others from injury.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Anti-Lock Brake System Warning Light
ABS
With the anti-lock brake
system, the light(s) will
come on when you
start
your engine and may stay
on for several seconds.
That’s normal.
If the light stays on, turn the ignition to OFF. Or, if the
light comes on when you’re driving, stop as soon as
possible and turn the ignition
off. Then start the engine again
to reset the
system. If the light still stays on, or
comes on again while you’re driving,
your Catera needs
service. If the regular brake system warning light isn’t
on, you still have brakes, but you don’t have anti-lock
brakes. If the regular brake system warning light is also on, you
don’t have anti-lock brakes and there’s a problem with
your regular brakes. See “Brake System Warning Light”
earlier in this section.
The anti-lock brake system warning light should come
on briefly when you turn the ignition key
to RUN. If the
light doesn’t come on then, have it fixed
so it will be
ready to warn you
if there is a problem.
